Frontiers in Skin Rejuvenation: Recent Advances in Anti-Aging Skincare Technologies Based on Proteins, Peptides, and Peptide Derivatives
Abstract
Skin aging, characterized by collagen and elastin degradation, reduced cellular turnover, and oxidative stress, leads to wrinkles, sagging, and uneven skin tone. The global anti-aging skincare market is projected to reach $421.4 billion by 2030, driven by the demand for innovative solutions. Proteins, peptides, and peptide derivatives have emerged as key ingredients in modern anti-aging skincare due to their ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance hydration, and repair damaged skin. Peptide derivatives like acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) and palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl) have been clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and improve skin elasticity. Advanced technologies, such as nanotechnology and AI-driven formulations, enhance peptide stability and efficacy. The integration of peptides with stem cells and microbiome modulation offers comprehensive anti-aging solutions, while personalized skincare based on genetic profiling enables tailored treatments.The future of anti-aging skincare lies in sustainable and ethical practices, including plant-based peptides and eco-friendly packaging. These advancements promise to revolutionize the industry, delivering effective, personalized, and environmentally responsible solutions for skin rejuvenation.
