Hey, besties! As we age, our skin loses its youthful glow - fine lines and wrinkles appear, dryness becomes a constant battle and uneven skin tone can make us feel self-conscious. While the search for the fountain of youth might be a myth, advancements in skincare offer promising solutions. This blog post discusses the science behind some powerful ingredients like copper peptides, adenosine, hyaluronic acid and lactobacillus ferment (found in the Ahohwa Peptablue Duo) and why these ingredients hold the power to unlock youthful, radiant skin. Let’s get right into it!

“What are the benefits of copper peptides in skincare?”

Copper peptides are tiny chains of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) with a special guest on board: copper ions. These naturally occurring molecules play a vital role in the maintenance of healthy skin and give the product it’s brilliant blue color. Copper peptides give you a fresh, youthful and even-toned appearance - but how do they work?

“Why is hydration so important to your skin’s health?”

Hydration is the foundation of healthy, youthful skin. The skin barrier is comprised of tightly packed cells that act as a shield against environmental aggressors like pollution and bacteria. Hydration is key in maintaining the integrity of this shield and is the most important thing to think about when it comes to your skin’s health - but how do we tell if we’re dehydrated?

“I’ve heard of the skin microbiome - but what does it even do?”

Imagine your skin as a bustling ecosystem teeming with tiny life forms (bacteria, fungi and viruses) - this is collectively known as the "skin microbiome. These microscopic residents play a vital role in keeping your skin healthy and work as a built-in defense system that’s constantly working to protect you from harmful invaders like bad bacteria. The skin barrier and microbiome work together to keep your skin hydrated, happy and healthy - but how can topical products support it?
