Pentapeptides are the newest group of amino acids. They renew the skin's outermost layer to reveal smoother, younger-looking skin. Pentapeptides work by stimulating the production of new collagen, which helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
"I think the biggest allure to pentapeptides is that unlike their predecessors, the AHA's, the retinoids, even some of the in-doctor office micro-dermabrasions and things like that, the pentapeptides accomplish the same thing," says Genevieve Monsuma, deputy editor of Marie Claire magazine. "They plump the skin they diminish wrinkles, they get rid of fine lines, but without the irritation."
Dermatologists recommend using a cream with pentapeptides every day to keep wrinkles away.
