Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins including collagen, elastin and keratin. Each peptide plays a key role in skin’s texture and strength.

How does the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster work?

In their natural form, peptides can be unstable, so we opted for highly stabilised lab-engineered peptides in this booster. These 'synthetic' peptides can penetrate the upper layers of skin and 'activate' areas that help visibly improve tone, hydration, a feeling of suppleness and a smoother surface. Did you know? Synthetic peptides are created as exact copies of protein fragments in skin. They’re more stable on and within the skin, remain intact on skin longer and better reach their target areas.

What is the difference between the new Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster and the original Peptide Booster?

While the original Peptide Booster was a great formula with wonderful benefits, the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster features newer, highly specialised peptides that have a more targeted impact on loss of firmness, decreased resilience, wrinkles and skin's foundational architecture for even better results. Both formulas share a similar lightweight gel texture.

How does this booster work to visually improve lines and wrinkles in just 15 minutes?

A particularly innovative peptide in this formula, tridecapeptide-1, works by interrupting a key step within skin that leads to the formation of expression lines. With this process sidestepped, facial lines and wrinkles begin to smooth out and the skin looks younger and less fatigued. 

Does this formula replace other anti-ageing ingredients or products?

No. This focused formula is an effective complement to anti-ageing skincare, as it reinforces and restructures the surface layers of the skin with highly specialised peptides that affect the dermal-epidermal junction. This unique, targeted benefit is something ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide and retinol just cannot do; however, each of those ingredients have their own benefits and can be used alongside peptides.

Can I use this booster if I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

It’s not a problem to use the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster if you have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. In fact, its fragrance-free formula contains potent skin-soothing and skin-replenishing antioxidants that help to calm the skin.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my skin when using the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster?

When using the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster, you will notice smoother expression lines and wrinkles within 15 minutes with results lasting up to 4 hours. After 4 weeks of consistent use, you will notice a reduction of depth and volume in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

When should I use this booster in my skincare routine?

You can apply the Multi-Peptide Booster up to twice per day. After cleansing, toning and exfoliating, apply the rest of your serums, treatments and boosters in order from thinnest to thickest texture. Finish with moisturiser as your last step for PM and an SPF moisturiser during the daytime.

What is the difference between the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster and similar products on the skincare shelves?

The Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster includes a blend of distinctive peptides that are not only used at clinically efficacious levels but are combined with key supporting ingredients that revive healthy cellular energy and influence key collagens and other proteins needed to rebuild and preserve youthful skin. This booster is also free from natural and synthetic fragrance and other irritants, plus it’s packaged stably to preserve ingredient integrity and efficacy. Our formula takes a top-down signalling approach to restore and maintain the skin's structural support system. Watch out for skincare that contains more peptides in terms of ingredient count, but in levels below the recommended standard.

Does this formula have a noticeable scent?

Paula's Choice formulas are free of ingredients that research proves irritating to skin, so each product may carry a unique scent. The scent of the Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster is primarily from the ingredient tridecapeptide-1 and it dissipates quickly after application. The perception of smell can vary greatly between individuals, so what one person notices, another may not notice at all. Many customers find that they quickly get used to the unique scents of Paula's Choice skincare and that the benefits outweigh any potential drawbacks.
