Robert Park, President of Dermafirm USA, provides valuable insights into the science behind what makes Dermafirm's skincare products effective, with a focus on peptides and their functions and benefits. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, and when applied topically to the skin, they act as messengers to trigger skin cells to perform specific functions, such as building collagen and elastin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the skin, and as collagen production decreases with age and other harmful factors, such as smoking and UV rays, peptides play a crucial role in boosting collagen to reduce the signs of aging and help the skin look and act younger.

Astaxanthin’s strength as an antioxidant has coined its name, “king of carotenoids” as its efficiency in protecting cells from oxidation exceeds the average antioxidant mineral or vitamin.
