But if you feel that despite your careful examination, your skincare routine is still not working for you, here’s a magic ingredient that will turn the tables.

Peptides can be described a fragment of protiens tell the skin to behave in a certain way—in this case, to keep regenerating and building new skin cells. The reason that they are so powerful is that they are performance-specific. Proteins are the building blocks of skin, so a breakdown in them can lead to a lack of bounciness and loss of firmness.
