Pea peptides have multiple benefits for the skin, mainly due to their small molecule properties and rich nutritional content. The following are its main mechanisms of action and efficacy:
- Promote collagen synthesis, wrinkle resistance and firming
Pea peptides are rich in arginine and lysine, which can stimulate the activity of skin fibroblasts, promote the production of collagen and elastin, thereby enhancing skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and sagging. - Antioxidant and anti-aging effects
Containing polyphenolic substances and antioxidant amino acids such as proline, it can clear free radicals, reduce oxidative stress damage to the skin, delay photoaging and dullness. - Moisturizing and locking in moisture
The hydrophilic amino acids in pea peptides, such as glutamine, can help the skin maintain moisture, enhance the hydration ability of the stratum corneum, and improve dryness and roughness. - Anti inflammatory and Soothing
Research has shown that pea peptides have anti-inflammatory properties and can alleviate skin redness and inflammation caused by UV radiation, sensitivity, etc. They are suitable for assisting in the repair of sensitive or acne prone skin. - Inhibit melanin production
Some studies suggest that pea peptides may reduce excessive melanin deposition and assist in brightening skin tone by regulating tyrosinase activity (but the effect is weaker than professional whitening ingredients such as arbutin). - Promote wound repair
Small molecule peptides are easily absorbed and can provide nutritional support for damaged skin, accelerating barrier repair (such as after surgery or acne scars).
application form
Oral supplementation: By consuming health supplements, regulate skin health from the inside.
External skin care products: commonly used in anti-aging essence and facial mask, directly acting on the cuticle.
precautions
Sensitivity testing: Before external use, it is necessary to test locally to avoid individual allergies.
Paired with sunscreen: Antioxidants need to be combined with sunscreen, otherwise the effect will be compromised.
Effect period: It usually takes 4-8 weeks of continuous use to show visible improvement.
