Omega, Ceramides and Peptides are familiar ingredients in skin care products. Although each has its own role, when combined together in a formula, the effects on the skin will work together harmoniously and comprehensively. However, it is necessary to compare the effects of Omega, Ceramides and Peptides to choose the right formula for each specific skin problem target.1. What is Omega? What is the use of Omega?
Omega fatty acids are valuable fats for each person's diet and skin. There are 11 omega fatty acids, of which two (omega-3 and omega-6) are essential fatty acids because the body cannot synthesize them (meaning they must be supplied in one way or another). Of the omegas, the most important for skin are:
Omega-3: Found in foods like fish, flaxseeds (flaxseeds), walnuts, and chia oil, along with some Certain algae Omega-6 : Found in vegetable oils, linoleic acid, and passion fruit oils Omega-9 : High in flaxseed (linseed) and soybean, canola, peanut, and sunflower oils
Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids are not only necessary for oral consumption, but when applied to the skin, their benefits contribute to the maintenance of a healthy skin appearance, among many other benefits.
Uses of Omega
Uses of Omega are to act as an essential foundation for the skin's structural layers, resulting in softer, smoother, more even-toned, younger and healthier skin, regardless of age or type skin. Omega helps to:
Fortify and smooth the skin's surface Boosts moisture without feeling heavy and helps retain water Soothes signs of external stressors, including redness and sensitivity Sensation Removes signs of flaky, dehydrated skin Visibly strengthens skin against signs of environmental damage Provides antioxidants to visibly reduce wrinkles Accordingly Omega has natural properties are natural for the skin and are especially beneficial when combined with other skin-loving ingredients such as ceramides, cholesterol and glycerin.
2. What are Ceramides? What are the uses of Ceramides?
Simply put, ceramides are lipids found naturally in high concentrations in the top layers of the skin. They make up more than 50% of the skin's composition, so it's no surprise that they play an important role in determining how your skin looks and how it responds to environmental threats.
Age and sun damage decrease the effectiveness of natural ceramides in the skin over time and can eventually deplete them, weakening the skin's protective barrier. The result is drier, rougher skin, wrinkles, irritation, redness, and visible signs of dehydration. This is the time to add Ceramides to the skin, helping to significantly restore skin damage.
Uses of Ceramides
Think of ceramides as the mortar between bricks when bricks are skin cells. Accordingly, ceramides help hold the skin together by forming a protective layer that limits moisture loss and protects against visible damage from pollution and other environmental aggressors. Additionally, ceramides are even more potent than retinol, niacinamide and peptides - which are among the core anti-aging ingredients responsible for supporting skin's dynamic properties. Additionally, two ceramide precursors, phytosphingosine and sphingolipids, actually help the skin make more ceramides.
When using skin care products formulated with ceramides, it will help strengthen the skin barrier and increase moisture, resulting in plumper, smoother, firmer skin with fewer fine lines, improved skin tone. more sensitivity.
Since Ceramides belong to the group of “skin-replenishing” ingredients that act as a natural part of the skin, it is ideal for all skin types, even sensitive, acne-prone or oily skin . They're also probably safe to use around the eyes, as long as the product is scented and doesn't cause irritation.
Furthermore, ceramides are most effective when combined with other skin-replenishing ingredients such as fatty acids, glycerin, and cholesterol. Lipid blends like these are ideal for improving skin tone and texture and reducing signs of skin sensitivity.
3. What are peptides? What are the uses of Peptides?
Peptides are essentially protein fragments, made up of amino acids. When amino acids are combined in certain formulas, they produce specific peptides (and there are hundreds of them), and when peptides are formed in a certain way, they make specific proteins. .
Like any other organ system in the body, the skin is also made up of protein. Without peptides, the skin would not be intact, unable to maintain its firmness, causing wrinkles to form, loss of firmness, and difficult skin to recover as before.
The fascinating thing about peptides is that the diverse studies have clearly shown that each peptide works in very specialized ways to target the exact skin care needs. Furthermore, different peptide chains also direct the skin to repair in different directions, thereby helping to revitalize aging skin.
Uses of Peptides
Because of the above specificity, not all Peptides are created equal and provide the same benefits for peptides. In fact, some peptides have the ability to penetrate the skin naturally, helping to significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin.
In contrast, although less penetrating, other peptides will need agonists to penetrate deep into the skin. Either way, however, all peptides can be considered a gentle yet effective choice for all skin types and ages. Skin care products containing this ingredient are suitable for sensitive skin, and are less irritating than some anti-aging ingredients, even on delicate areas, like the skin around the eyes.
4. Compare the Uses of Omega Fatty Acids, Ceramides and Peptides: How Are They Different?
It is difficult to single out which ingredient is the best for skin care. Research has clearly shown that the skin needs a lot of beneficial ingredients, including omega fatty acids along with ceramides and peptides (among many others), because skin is complex and requires a wide range of natural ingredients for healthy skin. skin to look young and healthy.
Therefore, users do not worry too much about how to get enough of the best ingredients for their skin. Skin care products have been formulated with this amazing blend of ingredients in the right proportions to help give users easy choices. The next step is for each person to determine what proportions of the ingredients are right for them; However, this is not too difficult, but in fact, it is a matter of taste and experience.
Accordingly, when it comes to products that also contain omegas, ceramides and peptides, their use will provide the following general benefits:
Boosts and maintains hydration Strengthens and strengthens the skin's surface Reduces dry skin Reduces redness and signs of sensitivity Improves appearance of wrinkles Protects skin from signs of environmental damage However, when compared with each other, Omega Fatty Acids are different from the two remaining because they can also soothe skin, including skin damaged by the environment; Great to use for moisturizing purposes but without visible firming or tone improvement
Meanwhile, ceramides have the unique feature of improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles , which makes the skin firmer and more elastic. Moreover, this ingredient also helps the skin learn how to repair and renew itself, how to create many ceramides that are unique to each person's skin. However, like Omega Fatty Acids, ceramides have no visible effect on skin tone or discoloration.
Remaining Peptides, with each individual peptide, this ingredient has a specific effect on the skin, both improving the appearance of skin tone, while firming the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles by encourages layers of skin to act like younger skin and maintain smooth, healthy skin. This advantage sets peptides apart from omega fatty acids and ceramides as they can be engineered to provide targeted benefits, contributing to the restoration of the skin's building proteins rather than merely moisturizing the skin like ceramides or omegas.
In short, the need for the above ingredients at the same time depends on each person's desire for skin care as well as the specific skin problem. While they are certainly all very safe to use and can be beneficial for all skin types, with certain knowledge to compare the benefits of Omegas, Ceramides and Peptides, it is up to the user to make an informed decision. Choose suitable, economical and quickly enjoy satisfactory results on your skin.
