The peptide guide
Six peptides.
Six jobs.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks your skin uses for collagen, elastin, and a healthy-looking barrier. Each stick in the Peptide Sticks lineup is built around a single well-studied peptide. Here's the plain-English guide to all six.
Matrixyl 3000
The collagen-signal peptide. A blend of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 studied for supporting the look of firmer, more cushioned skin.
GHK-Cu Copper Peptides
One of the most-cited peptides in dermatology. A copper-tripeptide complex used to support the look of refreshed, renewed-looking skin.
Oligopeptide-68
A brightening peptide studied for helping the look of more even tone. Often paired with niacinamide and tranexamic acid for visible results.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8
A neuropeptide modeled on alpha-MSH, used to support the look of calm, comfortable skin and a reinforced-feeling barrier.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5
An under-eye peptide studied for targeting the look of puffiness and tired-looking skin around the eyes.
Retinyl-Peptide Complex
Encapsulated retinal and bakuchiol paired with a smoothing peptide blend for gentle, time-released turnover overnight.
