Cosmetic peptides are increasingly popular for anti-aging skin treatments. This review covers signal peptides, neurotransmitter-affecting peptides, and carrier peptides, with growing evidence supporting their dermatological use.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Cosmeceuticals
Biochemistry

Background:

Peptide cosmeceuticals represent a novel and popular approach to addressing skin aging.
Three primary categories of these peptides exist: signal peptides, neurotransmitter-affecting peptides, and carrier peptides.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current popular cosmeceutical peptides.
To examine published studies on their theoretical effects.
To discuss their practical application in dermatology.

Main Methods:

Literature review of scientific publications.
Analysis of theoretical mechanisms of action for different peptide types.
Evaluation of clinical evidence and practical dermatological use.
