Biotechnological Active Ingredients (Tetrapeptide-21, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Lactobionic Acid): The heart of the formula. Tetrapeptide-21 acts as a biological stimulator, while the complex of multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acids ensures deep, long-lasting hydration.1 Lactobionic acid completes the picture with its hydrating, antioxidant, and gently exfoliating action.2

Emollients and Humectants (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol): Glycerin and butylene glycol are humectants and conditioning agents widely used for their ability to attract and retain water in the skin, further improving product hydration and texture.1

Antioxidant (Tocopheryl acetate): A crucial antioxidant that protects the formula from oxidation and provides protective benefits to the skin against free radical damage.5

Preservative System (Potassium sorbate, Sodium benzoate, Phenoxyethanol): The safety and stability of the serum are ensured by a synergistic preservative system. This combination of broad-spectrum preservatives is globally recognized and considered a safe and non-controversial alternative to parabens.7 It is effective in preventing the growth of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts, and molds, ensuring the freshness and integrity of the product during use. Their effectiveness is maximal at an acidic pH, ideal for acid-based formulations.

Other Ingredients (Parfum, Phenoxyethanol): Fragrance is added in small quantities to enhance the sensory experience. Phenoxyethanol is a preservative known for its antibacterial properties.

SYNERGISTIC ACTION AND PROPERTIES'

Targeted Action of the Main Ingredients:

Tetrapeptide-21: A biomimetic "smart" peptide, this peptide is a sequence based on the structure of the skin itself. It acts as a biological signal to reactivate the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin, essential elements for skin density and elasticity. Its targeted action helps minimize the appearance of all types of wrinkles and reduce skin roughness, for a visible and long-lasting anti-aging effect.

5M Hyaskin™ (Hyaluronic Acid Complex): An advanced blend of five types of sodium hyaluronate with different molecular weights. It acts on every layer of the skin to ensure complete hydration: high molecular weight hyaluronic acids form a protective film that prevents superficial dehydration, while low molecular weight hyaluronic acids penetrate deeper for long-lasting, plumping hydration.

Lactobionic Acid: A next-generation polyhydroxy acid (PHA), known for its gentleness. It performs a very gentle exfoliating action that renews the skin without irritating it, improving the evenness of the complexion and enhancing the effectiveness of other active ingredients by facilitating their absorption.

Witch Hazel Water and Aloe Juice: A rich base with soothing and rebalancing properties. Witch hazel water has astringent and decongestant properties, ideal for purifying and soothing the skin, while aloe vera juice provides deep hydration and regenerating action, supporting healing and skin vitality.

Tocopheryl Acetate: The stable form of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects skin from free radical damage caused by environmental factors such as pollution and UV rays. It helps maintain the stability and effectiveness of the entire formula.

The Excellence of Synergy:

Enhanced Biological Regeneration: Tetrapeptide-21 works in perfect harmony with aloe juice to stimulate the production of key components of the extracellular matrix. This combination acts as an internal signal for repair and rejuvenation, promoting cell renewal and helping restore skin elasticity.

Synergy between Tetrapeptide 21 and the Complex of 5 Hyaluronic Acids: Hyaluronic acid creates a water reservoir that promotes the absorption of the peptide, which in turn stimulates the production of new endogenous hyaluronic acid and collagen. The result is a "circle of youth" effect: hydration → stimulation → repair → prolonged youthfulness.

Double Deep Hydration: Lactobionic Acid improves hydration and prepares the skin to receive the 5M Hyaskin™ complex. This complex provides layered hydration: the larger hyaluronic acids create a protective barrier against transepidermal water loss (TEWL), while the smaller ones penetrate deeper for internal hydration and a plumping effect.

Maximum Absorption and Functionality: The gently exfoliating action of Lactobionic Acid removes dead surface cells, optimizing skin permeability. This allows Tetrapeptide-21 and the hyaluronic acid complex to penetrate more effectively, reaching the layers where they can exert their maximum regenerative effect.

Total Protection and Soothing: The base of highly pure Hamamelis water and Aloe juice creates a soothing and decongestant environment that reduces irritation and redness, making the Peptidia serum suitable for even the most sensitive skin and ensuring an immediate sensation of freshness and comfort.

SCIENTIFIC INSIGHT: THE INGREDIENT LIBRARY

This section provides an in-depth analysis of each component of the Peptidia formula, focusing on the scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness, offering consumers a complete and transparent view of the product.

Introduction:

Each ingredient has been selected for its proven effectiveness, working in perfect harmony to give you visible and long-lasting results.

Tetrapeptide-21: The Extracellular Matrix Activator

Tetrapeptide-21 is a biotechnological peptide whose amino acid sequence (GEKG) was identified through bioinformatics methods, replicating a structure found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the skin.1 This makes it a "signaling peptide" that activates the biological response of skin cells. Its main function is to stimulate the biosynthesis of key ECM components, such as collagen, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid, which are crucial for the skin's strength, elasticity, and resilience.1

The effectiveness of this ingredient has been extensively documented through rigorous clinical studies both in vitro That in-vivo.

Origin and mechanism

Tetrapeptide-21 is a synthetic oligopeptide developed to mimic small fragments resulting from the natural degradation of the collagen I.
These fragments, when released, activate dermal fibroblasts: the peptide replicates this signal and stimulates the endogenous synthesis of the main components of the extracellular matrix (ECM):

Collagen I, III and VII
Fibronectin
Hyaluronic Acid

It acts mainly through the TGF-β/Smad pathway and the gene regulation of ECM factors.

Experimental evidence

In vitro: +250 % collagen production at 1 ppm on human fibroblasts (Sircol™ Assay).
In vivo: +41 % skin elasticity, −25 % surface roughness after 8 weeks.

Cosmetic benefits

Visibly reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
Improves the firmness and density of the dermis.
Increases skin brightness and uniformity.
Deep and progressive “restructuring” effect.

Tolerability

Highly biocompatible, non-irritating, suitable for daily use on all skin types.

2. The main categories of cosmetic peptides

Category	Description and Mechanism	Typical examples	Main effect
1. Signal Peptides	They trigger the synthesis of collagen, elastin and HA by mimicking ECM fragments.	Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9, Tetrapeptide-21 (GEKG)	Structural rejuvenation, increased elasticity.
2. Neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptides (Botox-like)	They block the nerve transmission of acetylcholine, relaxing the mimic muscles.	Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Dipeptide	Reduction of dynamic wrinkles, “botox-like” effect.
3. Carrier Peptides (transport)	They chelate and transport metal ions (copper, zinc, manganese) essential for tissue repair.	Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), Mn-Tripeptide-1	Healing, antioxidant, deep repair.
4. Enzyme inhibitory peptides (Anti-MMP)	They inhibit metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade collagen and elastin.	Tripeptide-29, Hexapeptide-12	Protection and prevention of photoaging.

3. Comparison of Tetrapeptide-21 (GEKG) with the four classes of peptides

Class	Mechanism of action	Skin benefits	Comparison with Tetrapeptide-21 (GEKG)
1. Signal Peptides	They stimulate the synthesis of ECM (collagen, elastin, HA).	Firming, filling effect, improved texture.	GEKG it is a signal peptide A new generation, more targeted at collagen I and III than Matrixyl®. It offers superior performance in terms of elasticity and density.
2. Botox-like peptides	They inhibit muscle contraction by blocking acetylcholine.	Immediate reduction of expression lines.	GEKG it does not act on the muscles, but reconstructs the dermis. More progressive yet structural and natural results.
3. Carrier Peptides	They transport metal ions to activate repair enzymes.	Regeneration and antioxidant protection.	GEKG does not transport metals, but it stimulates the internal production of hyaluronic acid and collagen. It is more stable and delicate.
4. Anti-enzyme peptides	They inhibit MMP 1 and 9 to preserve collagen and elastin.	Protection of the dermal structure and prevention of photoaging.	GEKG acts upstream: stimulates new collagen synthesis, compensating for degradation. Improved long-term restructuring effect.

5M Hyaskin™: The 5-Dimensional Hydration Complex

5M Hyaskin™ is an innovative blend of five different types of sodium hyaluronate, each with a specific molecular weight. This combination has been formulated to act on every layer of the skin, ensuring intense hydration and complete protection. The complex works on two distinct levels.1

Surface Action: Hyaluronic acid molecules at high and medium molecular weight They are too large to penetrate deeply. Their function is to create a thin, protective film on the skin's surface. This layer acts as a barrier, drastically reducing transepidermal hydration loss and retaining existing moisture, providing an immediate sensation of tighter, smoother skin.1
Deep Action: Hyaluronic acid molecules at low and very low molecular weight They have the ability to penetrate the deepest layers of the epidermis. Once absorbed, they help improve and prolong internal hydration, filling the skin's microstructure and providing a lasting and visible plumping effect.

Lactobionic Acid: The Gentle and Multifunctional Revitalizer

Lactobionic Acid is a next-generation polyhydroxy acid (PHA), appreciated for its very gentle exfoliating action, making it ideal for even the most sensitive skin, including those suffering from acne or rosacea. Unlike more aggressive alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), PHAs perform their functions without causing irritation. Its properties extend far beyond simple exfoliation:

Hydration: It possesses remarkable hygroscopic properties, meaning it attracts and retains atmospheric water. Applied to the skin, it forms a protective, moisturizing film that acts as an emollient and limits water loss.
Antioxidant Action: It is able to inhibit the formation of free radicals, contributing to cellular protection and the prevention of skin aging.
Prevention of Photoaging: Lactobionic acid has the ability to block the production of metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that degrade collagen, whose activity is stimulated by UV rays and the natural aging process. This helps preserve the skin's structural integrity.
Cellular Renewal: It promotes gentle cell turnover and keratinization, improving the appearance of the skin and making it brighter and more even.

Hamamelis and Aloe: The Soothing and Purifying Base

The formula is enriched with a base of natural, organic ingredients, known for their soothing and rebalancing properties.

Hamamelis Virginiana water: Derived from the witch hazel plant, it has historically been used for its soothing, astringent and decongestant properties.3 It helps calm the skin, reduce redness and balance sebum production, making the serum suitable for all skin types.10
Aloe Barbadensis Juice: Extracted from the leaves of the aloe vera plant, this ingredient is a source of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It is renowned for its hydrating and regenerative properties, penetrating deeply to nourish and revitalize the skin. It promotes cell regeneration, helps restore the skin barrier, and provides elasticity, contributing to the formula's overall anti-aging action.

Tocopheryl Acetate: The Protective Antioxidant

Tocopheryl acetate is a synthetic, and significantly more stable, form of vitamin E.5 Its stability makes it an ideal ingredient for cosmetic formulations, as it does not degrade easily when exposed to heat, air, and light. Its function is twofold:

Formula Protection: It acts as an antioxidant, preventing the oxidation of other sensitive ingredients and ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of the product over time.5

Antioxidant Action on the Skin:

Although conversion to its active form, tocopherol, is limited in the uppermost layers of the skin, Tocopheryl Acetate still penetrates the most vital layers, where it can be partially converted and help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and UV radiation.5 This makes it a crucial component of daily skin protection.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The use of the product is recommended both morning and evening, or both options for more mature skin.

A nourishing and protective face cream, ideal for very sensitive, dry or atopic-prone skin.

Thanks to a rich but non-occlusive formula, it helps restore skin comfort, reduce redness and dryness, and strengthen the skin's natural defenses.

It contains a minimal amount of fragrance, chosen to minimize the risk of sensitization, while maintaining a pleasant user experience.

“To maximize the effectiveness of Peptidia serum, follow these simple steps. Proper application not only optimizes results but also transforms your treatment into a true moment of wellness.”

Detailed Instructions for Use:

Prep Your Skin: After cleansing, pat your face dry, leaving your skin slightly damp. This step is crucial.

Strategic Movements: Pour 2-3 drops of serum into the palm of your hand, warm them gently and distribute them over the entire face and neck with slow, firm movements from bottom to top and from the inside out, massaging in a circular motion.

Targeted Action: Gently tap the product with your fingertips, focusing particularly on the areas where expression lines are most visible: the eye contour, the mouth contour and the forehead area between the eyebrows.

The Scientific Reason Behind Every Gesture:

Why apply serum to damp skin? Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, a molecule that acts like a sponge, attracting and retaining water. When applied to slightly damp skin, the serum has access to the water on the skin's surface to bind, ensuring it doesn't draw moisture from the deeper layers of the skin, a phenomenon that could otherwise lead to a feeling of dryness. This step ensures an immediate and superior plumping effect.

Why tap with specific movements? Tapping movements and light massage promote microcirculation in the skin's surface layers. This not only increases skin permeability, facilitating optimal absorption of active ingredients like Tetrapeptide-21 and hyaluronic acid, but also helps revitalize the complexion. The upward and outward movements follow the skin's natural tension lines and help maximize the serum's potential lifting and firming effect, delivering the active ingredients precisely where aging is most evident.
