Peptide Complex+ Hydrating Moisturizer

A: It contains a patented Peptide Complex, which is a blend of amino acids that encourages your skin to produce its own collagen naturally. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for a smoother, more youthful complexion.

A : Collagen is a crucial protein that provides structure, elasticity, and suppleness to the skin. It's often referred to as the "glue" that holds our skin together. Maintaining healthy collagen levels is essential for youthful-looking skin because it contributes to firmness, plumpness, and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

Collagen depletion is a natural part of the aging process, but several factors can accelerate it. These include aging itself, UV exposure from the sun, unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking and poor diet, and environmental stressors such as pollution.

A: No, our products do not contain added collagen. Our philosophy is simple: we believe in empowering your body to produce its own revitalizing collagen naturally. Instead of supplementing external collagen, our formulations are designed to stimulate your skin's innate collagen production. We aim to enhance your body's ability to create collagen, which is essential for maintaining youthful and healthy skin. There's no substitute for the real, naturally produced collagen.

A: While it is recommended for individuals around the age of 30 who are beginning to experience the first signs of aging, it's never too early to start taking care of your skin. The sooner you begin, the better you can protect your skin from the effects of collagen depletion and environmental stressors.

A: If you're new to adding the Peptide Complex+ Hydrating Moisturizer to your routine, start by using it once a day, preferably in the evening. However, if you're considering it as your primary skincare product, it's recommended to use it both in the morning and at night. For those currently using other Onsen products like the Daily Hydration Moisturizer, alternating or combining products periodically is encouraged for better results due to the body's potential development of tolerance to specific ingredients over time.

Alternating skincare products helps prevent your skin from developing a tolerance to specific ingredients. By switching products, you can maximize their effectiveness and maintain better results over time, especially when using a skincare line like ours designed to activate the body's natural healing mechanisms.

A: YES - Peptides Complex + Hydrator is suitable for most skin types, including dry, oily, and combination skin. However, if you have extra sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test before using the product all over your face. To perform a patch test, apply a small amount of the moisturizer to a small area of skin and wait 24 hours to check for any signs of irritation or allergic reactions. If you experience any discomfort or irritation, discontinue use and consult with a dermatologist. The fragrance-free and non-comedogenic formula is gentle and safe for daily use.

A: Unlike other products, we believe in trusting the skin's natural abilities to handle sun exposure. SPF actives can create an oily layer on the skin that blocks pores, reduces product efficacy, and damages rather than helping. Therefore, instead of relying solely on SPF products, we suggest trusting your body and enjoying the goodness of nature while also protecting your skin with an SPF product when needed.
