Do Peptides Work on Skin? What SeneGence Uses
Quick answer
Yes, when the peptide and the finished formula match the result you want. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, and each one is chosen for a specific visible job. In SeneGence’s finished formulas, the results are measured on the whole product, not on a single peptide. In an independent study, GLP Complex™ with SenePlex+® and Exosomes reduced the appearance of deep wrinkles by 23.4% at eight weeks. Results can also arrive fast. One hour after a single application, NeoTight® Rejuvenating Anti-Wrinkle Serum improved measured net skin elasticity by 7.65% in an independent study. See the GLP Complex study or the NeoTight Rejuvenating study.
