Hyaluronic acid and peptides: choosing anti-ageing skincare

Dehydration, dullness and expression lines are different concerns. Separating them helps you choose anti-ageing skincare without collecting products that serve similar purposes.

Hydration and expression lines

Hyaluronic acid is used in skincare for its water-binding properties. Peptides are a family of ingredients; the word alone does not identify a formula or guarantee the same effect across products.

Better-hydrated skin may look smoother, but a serum is not a filler. A peptide cosmetic is not equivalent to botulinum toxin treatment either.

Revita-HA and Mimik-Peptides in our range

BCN Revita-HA contains hyaluronate and other ingredients and is aimed at hydration and a revitalised appearance. BCN Mimik-Peptides targets the appearance of expression lines. The linked references use 3 ml vials.

Check the official instructions for Revita-HA and Mimik-Peptides. These are topical cosmetic applications, not injectable products.

Example: deciding what to buy first

If tightness and a dry appearance are the concern, ask for an assessment of hydration and the existing routine before choosing solely by an anti-ageing label. For expression lines, discuss realistic cosmetic improvement and how it will be assessed.

Use photographs with matching light and expression, without filters. Do not credit one vial for differences caused by lighting, makeup or several treatments started together.

Format and storage

Check price per millilitre, instructions after opening and compatibility with the intended protocol. Do not improvise mixtures or assume sterile means suitable for every technique. Browse our professional cosmetics by composition and indicated use.
