Epigenetics is “the study of changes in gene expression without changing the underlying DNA sequence.” This refers to the signals that control and organize DNA without changing the DNA itself. So, put simply, we can’t change our genetic blueprint but we can influence how it gets read through gene signaling.
These epigenetic signals definitely impact the way your skin ages, too. We all know that environmental factors, like diet and lifestyle can influence our skin’s health. But we can also use topical ingredients, like peptides, as well. At HydroPeptide, we do just that by formulating our skincare products with powerful gene signaling ingredients that essentially turn on the healthy skin genes you want and turn off the ones you don’t.
