Peptides might sound like something from a science lab, but they’re one of the best ingredients you can use on your skin. These tiny proteins send messages to your skin cells, helping them repair, hydrate, and fight signs of aging. At freeze frame, we use different types of peptides in our products to target everything from wrinkles to dullness. In this blog, we’ll break down what each type of peptide does in a simple, easy-to-understand way, so you can find the right product for your skin. 

Signal Peptides: Boosting Collagen for Smoother Skin 

Think of signal peptides as coaches for your skin, they tell your skin cells to make more collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that keep skin looking firm and youthful. As we age, our bodies produce less of these proteins. That’s why skin can start to look saggy or develop fine lines. Products like freeze frame’s WRINKLE BLOCK use these peptides to give your skin a boost, helping it look firmer and smoother. With our WRINKLE BLOCK product, you can experience up to 40% wrinkle reduction in 7 days and experience up to 60% wrinkle count improvement at 28 days¹.  

Carrier Peptides: Helping Skin Repair Itself 

Carrier peptides act like delivery drivers, bringing essential nutrients and minerals (like copper) directly to your skin cells. This helps speed up skin healing and renewal. If this winter you are struggling with tired-looking eyes, dark circles, or puffiness then REVITALEYES might just be the perfect winter solution for you. This product uses carrier peptides to refresh and revive the delicate skin under your eyes, giving you fresher looking eyes.  

Neurotransmitter Peptides: Softening Wrinkles Without Injections 

You’ve probably heard of Botox. Neurotransmitter peptides work in a similar way, but without the needles. These peptides help relax the tiny muscles in your face that cause expression lines, like smile lines or crow’s feet. Freeze Frame’s WRINKLE BLOCK uses this type of peptide to smooth out those lines and give your skin a relaxed, refreshed look. 

Enzyme-Inhibitor Peptides: Keeping Skin Firm Over Time 

Over time, our skin naturally loses collagen because of enzymes that break it down. Enzyme-inhibitor peptides slow this process, helping your skin stay firm and plump for longer. NIGHT includes these peptides to protect your skin while you sleep, helping you wake up to a smoother, more refreshed complexion. We have seen improvements in 15 nights that experience plumper skin and up to 75% firmer/more elastic looking skin ². 

Why Using More Than One Type of Peptide Helps 

Each type of peptide plays a different role, so using more than one at a time gives your skin the best chance to improve. That’s why products like BOOST SERUM combine several peptides to hydrate, firm, and brighten your skin all in one step. They work together like a team, supporting your skin from different angles. 

 
 
 
 
Great for Sensitive Skin 

One of the best things about peptides is that they’re gentle. Unlike strong ingredients like retinol or acids, peptides don’t irritate or dry out the skin. They’re perfect if you have sensitive or reactive skin and still want real, visible results. 

Peptides + Other Ingredients = Even Better Results 

Peptides work best when they are paired with other good-for-you ingredients. These powerful combinations will help give your skin maximum benefits. Hyaluronic acid keeps your skin hydrated, niacinamide helps even out skin tone and calm redness, and vitamin C brightens and protects your skin from damage. 

Conclusion 

Peptides may sound complicated, but they’re one of the easiest ways to take your skincare routine to the next level. Whether you're smoothing wrinkles, brightening your eyes, or simply giving your skin a healthy boost, peptides can help. Freeze Frame’s peptide-powered products make it simple to get results, without the fuss or irritation.
