Ceramides get a lot of attention, but in Japanese skincare, peptides are the quiet powerhouse behind firm, smooth, radiant skin. If ceramides strengthen the barrier, peptides go deeper by helping the skin renew itself, stay elastic, and resist visible fatigue.
J-Beauty excels at pairing peptides with softening, hydrating textures that deliver results gently and consistently. Albion’s INFINESSE line is one of the most refined examples of this approach.
Why Peptides Matter in Japanese Skincare
Peptides act as messengers, telling your skin to repair, firm, and brighten. Instead of aggressive formulas, our J-Beauty INFINESSE line utilizes OSK9 (acetyl pentapeptide-55 amide) and Acetyl Tetrapetide-2, which helps in lifting, sculpting and plumping your skin, key elements for a slow-aging, daily ritual that supports long-term resilience.
Meet the INFINESSE Peptide Heroes
While many brands use peptides, our approach is rooted in precision: pairing highly targeted peptides with J-Beauty’s signature softening textures so they can absorb efficiently and work more deeply. Two standout actives define the INFINESSE collection, each with its own role in supporting firmness, lift, and resilience.
Acetyl Tetra-peptide-2
This potent anti-aging peptide is the backbone of the INFINESSE formulas. Acetyl Tetra-peptide-2 helps support the skin’s structural proteins, improving the appearance of firmness and elasticity. As we age, the skin’s natural scaffolding becomes less organized; this peptide works as a signaler, encouraging the skin to look more lifted, toned, and youthful.
OSK9 (Acetyl Penta-peptide-55 Amide)
Exclusive to Albion, OSK9 is a high-performance proprietary peptide designed to enhance the look of elasticity and promote a smoother, lifted appearance. Think of it as a fine-tuning peptide: it helps improve bounce and contours, giving the complexion a more energized, sculpted look.
Together, these peptides create a powerful synergy. Acetyl Tetra-peptide-2 helps support firmness from the “inner architecture,” while OSK9 refines surface-level smoothness and lift.
A signature J-Beauty step, this milk lotion softens the skin and enhances peptide absorption. It cushions the skin with moisture-binding peptides that improve elasticity and prep the complexion for the rest of your routine.
INFINESSE Pump Innovation Serum
This peptide-powered serum is designed to visibly lift and firm the skin’s contours. Featuring Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 and Albion’s proprietary OSK9 peptide, it supports elasticity while smoothing the appearance of sagging or fatigue. Its lightweight, hydrating formula melts effortlessly, leaving your skin looking tighter, sculpted, and refreshed.
This rich cream locks in moisture and supports overnight repair, and a great skincare alley for your morning routine, too. Peptides work with hydrating and barrier-strengthening ingredients to restore bounce and smoothness while you sleep.
