For all our beginners – the skin barrier is your body’s first line of defence against aggressors, harmful UV radiation, and pollutants. The barrier also helps hold ample moisture into the skin for its soft, supple appearance.
4. Peptides Alleviate Inflamed Skin: Several Peptides possess anti-inflammatory properties and work wonders on reddened, rashed-up skin. It is particularly beneficial for folks with sensitive skin who are more prone to such episodes.
