Whether produced internally or applied topically, amino acids help to strengthen the immune system, maintain the skin’s hydration, resilience and an overall healthy appearance. They protect skin from free-radical damage and reduce signs of ageing. Amino acids are found in most skin-firming Peptide Booster as well as in other skincare products.
