Peptides are small chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). Peptides in skincare can help provide skin with many anti-ageing benefits. These can include visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, firming, protecting your skin barrier and renewing dull skin to create a more youthful-looking appearance.

Peptides are a great addition to any skincare routine no matter your age, skin type or concerns.

Peptides can be found in skincare essentials like moisturisers, serums, eye creams and targeted treatments. They also work well in combination with other popular skincare ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C.

Products with peptides for skin can be used every day up to twice per day. Our Advanced Night Repair Serum, made with our exclusive night peptide, can be used daily morning and night for 7 skin-renewing benefits. If you’re using peptides in your morning skincare routine, be sure to follow up with a high protection SPF product.

Estée Lauder scientists have identified effective peptides and formulated skincare with powerful anti-ageing benefits. This includes our exclusive night peptide and our Double Hexapeptide+ Compound found in best sellers like Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Serum.
