Have you tried facial peptides yet? If not, it's time to start! Peptides are our main helpers in the fight for youth and beauty of the skin. These babies successfully fight both the first and already pronounced signs of aging. They also work great for prevention. Why are peptides needed, what do they do for the skin and at what age should you start using peptide cosmetics - read in this article.
Why we use peptides in our cosmetics
Peptides are little postmen-commanders. They transmit information from one cell to another and give them commands. With the help of peptides, we can control biological processes in the skin, including aging. The key components of the dermal matrix - collagen and elastin fibers - also consist of amino acids and are long peptides and proteins. With age, the synthesis of these key proteins slows down, the skin loses turgor, becomes flabby, and wrinkles and creases appear. We cannot stop time and completely block the natural aging of the skin. But we can greatly slow down the fading process, work on prevention and restore youth to the skin by adding cosmetics with peptides to our daily care. There are no strict restrictions on the use of peptide cosmetics. If necessary, according to indications, you can start using them as early as 20-25 years old. And from 28-30 years old, peptides are a must-have.
What do peptides do for the skin?
- Stabilize and support the processes of cell restoration and renewal.
- Maintains optimal rate of cell division.
- Stimulate fibroblasts and the synthesis of dermal matrix components (collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid).
- Strengthens collagen and elastin fibers.
- Restores firmness and elasticity.
- Increases skin turgor and density.
- Tighten the oval of the face.
- Stimulate regeneration.
- Relaxes muscles.
- Smoothes out wrinkles, including facial wrinkles.
- They work to prevent premature skin aging.
- Strengthens the skin's antioxidant protection.
- Inhibits the inflammatory process.
- They heal.
- Strengthens lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling.
- Stimulate microcirculation.
- Reduces the manifestations of rosacea.
- Lighten pigmentation.
- Evens out complexion.
The properties of peptides - their ability to penetrate the skin, action and effectiveness - are determined by the sequence of amino acids in the chain. Little commanders have order everywhere - a specific peptide is responsible for each signal. Therefore, one product usually contains several peptides. The more functions a cream has, for example, the richer its filling and peptide composition will be.
Peptides for skin: the best creams
Now we need to answer the main question of this article: what cosmetics with peptides are best used for the skin? The skin is the largest organ of the body and has many different functions. It is not evenly distributed throughout the body: somewhere it is thicker, somewhere thinner, each area has its own structural features. Therefore, if you want to be as strict as possible in choosing the right cream with peptides for the skin, then you need to select cosmetics depending on the place where you will apply them.
The manufacturer NPTsRIZ has released a series of cosmetics: Reviline and Revilibe. Here is a fairly large list of a wide variety of creams specializing in certain areas of the body. An individually selected composition of peptides and other natural components has been created for everyone here. Let's consider some types of creams from this series that are advisable to use in practice.
Peptides for facial skin
It is the skin of the face that is the thinnest and most delicate, so it requires special care. The skin of the face has a high capacity for tactile sensations, but is least sensitive to temperature changes. Facial muscles give the human face the ability to express emotions, but we also owe them the appearance of wrinkles: in no other area does the skin of the body lose its smoothness earlier, that is, the skin of the face is most susceptible to aging. So, what can you choose from the range of creams for this area?
Peptide cream Reviline RN04
Thymus peptides, betulavite, silver citrate, sage, chamomile and calendula - in one cream, have a high regenerating effect on the skin of the face. They have a high protective ability against germs and bacteria, restore the functioning of the sebaceous glands, tone blood vessels and improve complexion.
Cream Reviline RN01
Peptides of osteochondral tissue, neovitin, mendal, silver citrite are the main ingredients of cosmetics. Overall, this is an excellent skin support product. When serious age-related changes have not yet occurred. The cost of 30 ml of cream is 500 rubles. This will last for a month even with daily use.
Reviline PRO restorative
The cost of this cream is 2 times more expensive than those described earlier. However, the composition and effect are worth it. A 50 ml tube of cream contains: pineal peptides, olive palm castor oil, jojoba, licorice, chamomile, chestnut extracts and other ingredients. In general, this product is suitable not only for maintenance, but also for restoration. The result of application is restoration of the texture and color of the facial skin, smoothing of contours, noticeable rejuvenation.
Face cream "Peptide revitalizer"
The amount of active substance here is the smallest - only 20 ml, but the price, on the contrary, is the highest - almost 1,300 rubles! However, there is a fairly large number of complexes that have the best effect on facial skin rejuvenation: AA-1 peptide complex, Dermaxyl® peptide, unirepair T-43 complex, HPE-4 and others.
Creams with peptides for the skin around the eyes
Structural features - the skin is thin, dry, has virtually no subcutaneous fat and sebaceous glands, the amount of collagen and elastin is reduced, the skin is sensitive and prone to allergic reactions. Active facial expressions, rubbing the eyes, and prolonged work at the computer have a significant impact on the health of this area of the skin.
The first signs of aging can appear as early as 20 years of age. However, a healthy lifestyle and the use of modern creams can significantly prolong the youthfulness of the skin around the eyes! We offer the following as cosmetics.
Cream with peptides Reviline RN06
Peptide complexes A-1, A-3, A-4, A-6, if translated, are peptides of the pancreas, blood vessels, osteochondral tissue and thymus. Together with other useful substances - not bad for 30 ml of cream for 500 rubles! We recommend it as basic support for the eye skin on an ongoing basis. When everything is more or less fine with the skin.
Peptide serum REVILAB Evolution No. 5 for the skin around the eyes
But if everything is bad with the skin around the eyes and basic cosmetics may not be enough, then we recommend the most powerful and effective option for this vulnerable area of the skin. We won’t even list the ingredients – it’s better to click on the name, there’s a lot there. The use of the cream promotes a lifting effect, smoothing out wrinkles, noticeable rejuvenation and increased skin tone. The cost of cosmetics is astronomical.
Peptides for youthful skin
Peptides for the skin of the face and the skin around the eyes are the most popular. It is about them that people most often search for information on the Internet. However, the skin is the largest organ of our body and it is found not only on the face, but also on other parts of the body. The developers of cosmetics Reviline and ReviLab did their best here too. And they compiled an individual composition for each individual site.
For example, Reviline RN04 peptide cream was created specifically to support problematic and oily skin. Reviline RN07 - specializes in the removal of spider veins and spider veins. The main profile of RN08 cream is the elimination of stretch marks and scars. There are also separate cosmetics for feet, such as RN11 and RN12. Hands are also not left without a specialized cream; Reviline RN10 was created for them.
Types of peptides in cosmetics
Signal
. Stimulate dermal cells - fibroblasts. When the cell's life cycle ends, the peptides read this and instruct the cell to divide and begin a new cycle. Signal peptides instruct damaged cells to recover. Signal peptides trigger the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin fibers, tighten the skin, restore turgor, and smooth out wrinkles. The most popular signal peptide is matrixyl. Examples of signal peptides: Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3), Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide / Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 / Palmitoyl Hexapeptide), Matrixyl synthe'6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38), SYN-COLL (Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 5), Syn Tacks (Palmitoyl Dipeptide-6).
Transport
. They deliver microelements (copper, magnesium) to the cells and stabilize them. Stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles. Heal, restore. The most popular are copper peptides. Examples of transport peptides: Copper tripeptide (GHK tripeptide, Copper PCA), Manganese tripeptide-1.
Neurotransmitters
. Those same peptides “with the Botox effect”, muscle relaxants. Slow down muscle contractions, relax muscles, smooth the skin, prevent the appearance of wrinkles, creases and folds on the skin. The most popular is argireline. Examples of neurotransmitter peptides: Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), SYN-AKE (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate), Inyline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-30), SNAP-8 (Acetyl Glutamyl Octapeptide-3), Leuphasyl (Pentapeptide -18).
Enzyme inhibitors
. Suppress the work of enzymes that destroy collagen, maintain the structure of collagen fibers. The most popular are rice, soy, and silk peptides. Examples of inhibitor peptides: Progeline (Trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2), Trylagen (Tripeptide-10, Tripeptide-1), Dipeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Oligopeptide-20, Soybean peptide.

Anti-wrinkle peptide cream for the eye area Mixit Injection Active Eye Cream - reviews
I continue my endless story about Mixit brand products.
I started actively using this cream at the beginning of the year. I had just run out of my favorite eye serum at that time, Shemen Amour, which I was already pretty tired of despite its obvious effectiveness.
Injection Active Eye Cream Mixit has a very light cream-gel texture in a girlish pink shade. The scent is plant-based and not overpowering.
The cream is absorbed into the skin very quickly and does not leave behind any hint of its presence. It is suggested to use it in the morning and/or evening, which is what I did. You can safely apply makeup on top or go to bed, without fear of finding swelling in the morning. This moment is very important for me, since swelling and puffiness have accompanied me all my life, but I still manage to control them. However, the wrong remedy can lead to the effect of puffy eyes.

As I said above, the cream is absorbed instantly and does not leave a film on the skin. It leaves nothing at all other than the subtle softening that results from almost any cream product applied to the skin.
The skin around my eyes is in normal condition, there are small facial wrinkles - rays, noticeable when I smile and almost invisible when my face is relaxed. Obvious dehydration has not visited me for a long time, but hydration is still necessary, swelling rarely occurs. There is a slight flabbiness, and it’s clear that I’m no longer sixteen).
I usually expect prolonged hydration and toning from a cream. I would like to say goodbye to facial wrinkles, but I’m not used to relying on creams in this matter. It also seems to me that my skin under my eyes lacks density, but in general I can find a mountain of shortcomings.
Let's look at each point of the promises and compare them with my impressions:
Anti-edema effect (impressive!!!) -
I didn’t find it on myself. On occasional swellings, I applied the cream in a thick layer as a mask for 10 minutes, as the manufacturer advises. I removed the residue with a cotton pad and did not notice any changes. The cream did not work for me as a decongestant. In this regard, I like the “Parsley” gel from TM Kingdom of Aromas and the roller massager.
Noticeable improvement in the condition of the skin around the eyes -
rather unnoticeable, since I didn’t see any changes.
Gentle restoration of dehydrated skin -
My skin was not dehydrated when I tested the cream, so in this case I have nothing to say. There was light hydration, that's all.
Prolonged feeling of hydration -
In principle, I felt moisturizing from the cream, but it only lasts until the next wash.
Enhanced lifting effect -
not the slightest hint of lifting. The quality of the leather has not changed at all.
Visible reduction of wrinkles -
invisible to me. The facial expressions are in place, and there is also a network of shallow wrinkles and cobwebs that have not bothered me for a long time. And here we go again.
In fact, other than light hydration, I didn’t get anything from the cream. But they promised an alternative to injections and the fight against wrinkles). On the other hand, it might simply not suit me, since I saw positive reviews from different users.
convenient packaging light fragrance light texture quickly absorbed does not cause swelling
most of the promises remained promises
I will not recommend this product. In my opinion, it is suitable for very young girls who, apart from light moisturizing, do not need anything else from the cream. At 15-20 years old, I would most likely be happy and not find fault. I had a similar product in gel format from Lumene (even before the famous rebranding) at that age, and this effect suited me quite well. Now I can use it for the sake of variety, but on a regular basis I choose other means.
