WHAT ARE PEPTIDES AND HOW DO THEY WORK? Peptides are chains of amino acids that support proteins naturally found in the skin, helping to delay the signs of skin aging. When applied topically they send signals to our cells letting them know what to do, and encouraging them to keep working. Different peptides can target different skincare concerns, from helping to hydrate skin to boosting collagen production to help firm skin. Learn more about Peptides >
WHAT PEPTIDES ARE IN THIS MOISTURIZER? 2% Royal Epigen is a new peptide that is inspired by epigenetic science, controlling how genes behave and when they’re switched ‘on and ‘off to improve skin rejuvenation. 1% supporting hexapeptide hydrates skin, strengthens its barrier and increases collagen production. These are compound ingredients so on the INCI list you can see their individual component parts.
HOW DOES IT HELP TO REDUCE SIGNS OF AGING? Royal Epigen is clinically proven to increase the speed of skin renewal for noticeably smoother and more even skin in 28 days whilst Peptides work to protect your skin barrier and help with nourishment. Learn more about anti ageing skincare >

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEHYDRATED SKIN AND DRY SKIN? Dehydrated skin is caused by lack of water and can leave skin dull. Dry skin is caused by a lack of oil and leaves skin feeling tight and flaky. How to tell if your skin is dehydrated >
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS? Products can take up to six weeks to show full results, due to the time it takes for your skin cells to turnover and the results of any products to reach the surface. Consistency is key, so apply regularly even if you’re not seeing the effects straight away. It can be very tempting to increase use of some products to try and see quicker results, don't overdo it though. More is not necessarily more, and overuse can cause irritation and sensitivity.
