Peptide Signaling
Peptide Signaling
Definition (cosmetic use): In skincare, “peptide signaling” refers to the use of short amino-acid sequences that can interact with the skin’s surface environment and help guide cosmetic outcomes such as improved feel, comfort, and appearance. In practice, peptides are selected for compatibility, stability, and routine tolerability, and are placed within vehicles designed to support the skin’s barrier and overall resilience.
How peptide signaling works (cosmetic context)
- Targeted sequences: Specific peptide motifs are chosen for desired cosmetic effects and paired with supportive excipients for stability and feel.
- Vehicle matters: Texture, pH stewardship, and lipid balance influence delivery to the skin’s surface environment and overall tolerability.
- Barrier-first design: Peptides are most useful when routines minimize irritation load and preserve barrier comfort.
- Iteration & control: Small-batch edition control helps maintain freshness and consistency across lots.
Layering & compatibility
- AM/PM flexibility: Many peptide formats are comfortable day or night; pair with balanced moisture.
- Do not over-stack: Avoid retinols, skin peels or multiple aggressive actives in the same session when introducing peptide steps.
- Routine template: See Routine 1 for a minimalist, barrier-first baseline before adding targeted steps.
- Method notes: Formulation approach and compatibility considerations are outlined in OUMERE Research & Methods.
Used in OUMERE
- The Advancement Concentrate — targeted concentration within a barrier-aware vehicle.
- The Advancement Concentrate II — calibrated follow-up edition with process refinements.
- The Eye Serum — placement tuned for the periorbital area with comfort front-of-mind.
