Skin Care: Replace Your Collagen to Prevent Wrinkles

A leading University in the UK had done some reasearch regarding the nanostructure of skin care and aging creams and found a startling result. These high performance skin care creams contained a peptide amphiphile (PA).

 Peptides are often included in skin care creams to prevent the onset of wrinkles. Wrinkles begin when the collagen of the skin begins to brake down. When people are young their skin has healthy collagen that is strong and taut. As people age the long chains of collagen break down into shorter segments.

These segments are peptides and they trigger the body into forming more collagen. The new research performed at the UK university reveals than the peptides used in anti wrinkle and skin care creams provide a network for collagen to create new growth.


In addition to providing anti-wrinkle relief they hope to use this application for healing wounds as well.
