A Modern Language of Renewal
Skincare has entered a new era — one defined not by harsh actives or aggressive exfoliation, but by intelligent ingredients that communicate directly with the skin. Among these, peptides stand at the forefront.
At Aureterra, we pair clinically proven peptides with solar-infused botanicals to create formulations that restore balance, elasticity, and luminosity — naturally.
What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the molecular building blocks of collagen, elastin, and keratin. They act as messengers, signaling skin cells to produce more of what time diminishes.
When applied topically, peptides don’t strip or force the skin to renew — they guide it gently toward regeneration, strengthening the barrier while improving firmness and hydration.
How Peptides Work Within the Skin
The skin communicates in peptides. These molecules fit into cellular receptors like keys, triggering repair responses that rebuild the extracellular matrix — the structural network that keeps skin smooth and resilient.
Unlike retinol, which accelerates turnover through irritation, peptides work with the skin’s own intelligence. They tell fibroblasts to produce collagen, help keratinocytes retain moisture, and reinforce the skin’s natural lipid barrier.
Clinically Proven Results
The peptides used in Aureterra formulations are backed by independent human studies confirming their ability to reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity, and restore visible firmness — all without irritation.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
-
Reduced wrinkle depth by up to 48 % within 28 days
-
Increased firmness by 5.66 % after first use
-
80 % of participants reported visible elasticity improvement
(Human efficacy test, Chinese Academy of Inspection & Quarantine, 2024)
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 + Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
-
Boosted collagen I by 65 %, fibronectin by 50 %, hyaluronic acid by 40 %
-
Reduced deep wrinkles 45 %, wrinkle volume 19 %, roughness 14 % after 56 days
(In-vivo study, Sederma SAS / Green River Polymers)
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
-
Increased collagen I and III and elastin production (p < 0.05)
-
Protected fibroblasts from UV damage
-
Confirmed anti-wrinkle and barrier-restoring effects
(Chinese Academy of Inspection & Quarantine, 2023)
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Firming and Elastase Inhibition)
-
Inhibited elastase by 20–23 %, confirming measurable firming action
(CAIQ Laboratory, 2024)
These results form the scientific foundation behind Aureterra’s Botanical Peptide Repair Cream — proof that nature and science can coexist in clinical harmony.
The Aureterra Synergy: Peptides × Light
Peptides deliver precision; botanicals bring life.
Through the Solar Infusion Ritual™, Aureterra steepes calendula and other restorative plants in sunlight for six weeks — capturing antioxidants, carotenoids, and minerals within natural oils and coconut-derived glycerin.
When these solar-infused botanicals meet peptides, the result is multi-dimensional renewal: hydration, resilience, and luminosity born of both nature and light.
Why Choose Peptides Over Retinol
Retinol remains powerful, but not universal. Its intensity often causes peeling, redness, and sun sensitivity. Peptides, on the other hand, reinforce the skin barrier and can be used morning and night — even on sensitive or mature skin.
They’re the evolution of anti-aging care: smart, gentle, and sustainable.
Aging Gracefully, the Aureterra Way
At Aureterra, we believe in aging as a continuum of beauty, not decline.
Peptides offer a modern, compassionate approach — one that honors both biology and balance. By merging sunlight, science, and slow formulation, we craft skincare that feels alive with intelligence and integrity.
“Nature, at its highest potency, delivers results as powerful as laboratory formulas.”
