As the focus on peptides grows, several brands are launching innovative products, including day and night creams from Dior and SPF-infused color cosmetics from Naked Sundays.
Dior's Capture Crème range features both day and night creams that combine peptides and biotech-derived actives with their OX-C Treatment technology, designed to optimize oxygen transport to the skin. The daytime options include The Soft Crème, with a lighter texture, and Rich Crème, which offers a velvet finish. Both formulations incorporate lily extract, a densifying dipeptide, and two types of plumping hyaluronic acids. The Night Crème also includes these components along with prolatonine—a floral extract combined with postbiotic ferment aimed at reducing nighttime skin density issues. Prices range from £99 to £199 on dior.com.
Additionally, Alta Marea's La Seta Sheer Sun Silk SPF 50 is a lightweight body sunscreen enhanced with an advanced peptide complex.
