Peptides in skincare! What do they actually do for you?

You guys are so underrated !!! keep going

[@ChemistConfessions]

Thanks so much for the kind words! We finally just kicked off this new season. We're planning on keeping it slightly shorter per episode but commit to weekly episodes! :)

Thoughts on Transparent Lab skincare? Would love it if you would consider deciding their PIH vs PIE serums! Thanks for everything!

[@ChemistConfessions]

We'll definitely take a look!

Thank you! Such great information as usual. Curious of your thoughts on stability of growth factor products. I recently listened to an interview with one of the Droplette founders. She said growth factor are ineffective if they aren’t refrigerated and even if they are-no way to tell how long they’ve been in warehouse or shelf. If this is true, buying a super expensive growth product serum is silly and I will stick with peptides. Or since Droplette makes a growth product pod now that is delivered on ice, this could simply be a great marketing push for Droplette. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@ChemistConfessions]

Good question! It's true that growth factors aren't the most stable and don't have a great shelf life in general. To be honest, we still have a lot of skepticism with this category all around and agree that peptides would be a better category to look into.

Can you tell us what are the magical ones that's tested and proven to work so we can look out for them in INCI list???

I am still unsure about the question I had before - in this video 19,50 min you say that MAtrixyl is compatible with Vit C, so does it mean we can layer Matrixyl with l-ascorbic acid and they won't cancel each other? DId Sederma tested that or they just assume it?:) (I am really struggling with the routine since if I want to use Matrixyl twice, then when to use my Vit C? Please help:>

[@ChemistConfessions]

Yes! they can be layered together. I don't think Sederma tested it specifically with vit C, but they have tested matrixyl under different pH conditions to show that it is stable at a wide range of pH. So there's no worries of the low pH from a vit C serum killing the matrixyl. When you say use matrixyl twice, you mean morning and night? I'd just vit C in the morning as the first step post cleansing, then follow with matrixyl, moisturizer, sunscreen. Hope this helps!
