We often get questions from parents about whether peptides are suitable for teenagers or requests to create a toner or serum specifically for teens.
Here’s what to know:
It’s all about active ingredients and desired results. If a teen’s skin is dry or if they’re already using retinol, peptide creams can be a great addition. For hydration, SUPER HYDRA ENERGY TONER and SUPER HYDRATING ANTI-AGING SERUM are both ideal options—even with peptides in the formula.
Why are peptides okay, even for teens? Peptides are simply small chains of proteins, naturally found in the body, playing an essential role in skin regeneration. Since they already exist in our system, they don’t cause allergies. In fact, peptides are widely used in both skincare and medicine due to their safety and effectiveness.
Think of peptides as a “key-lock” system: each peptide fits a specific cell “lock” and has a specific role. For example, one peptide might reduce skin inflammation, while another may stimulate collagen production. Each peptide targets a particular function, which is why they’re central to advanced skincare.
It’s also impossible to overdose on peptides—if a cell is already full of peptides produced by the body, the cosmetic peptide simply won’t activate. So, peptides are safe for everyone. The only difference is that, at 14, the effect of peptides may not be very visible, while at 35, clients might tell us, “With this cream, I don’t need Botox!”
Since peptides are part of the body’s natural synthesis and regeneration processes, there’s no risk of “too much.”
Looking forward to seeing lots of hearts for this helpful info! 😊
