A short YouTube clip by Shereene Idriss explaining that not all peptides are the same: some promote cellular turnover similarly to retinol, others stimulate collagen, and certain peptides can block tyrosinase to reduce pigmentation. The speaker cites her product, the 'Major Fade Active Seal,' which contains vitamin C and a peptide intended to both even pigmentation and stimulate collagen.

And allowing for cellular turnover to happen more efficiently so you don't stay clogged. Kind of like how a retinol helps, but it doesn't help promote collagen. But there are also peptides that help with pigmentation. For example, in my active seal, which is the major fade active seal by myself, Dr. Idris, there is vitamin C in here, but there's also a peptide in here that helps to block tyrosinase. So it's going to help even out your pigmentation while also helping you promote collagen production because it stimulates that as well. So are all peptides created equal? No, no.
