Ahhhh, pentapeptides
What would we do without them?
Had _anyone_ ever heard of them before the Oil of Ulay adverts? Did they invent them, just to sound scientific? I think we should be told, it's a conspiracy I say.

You old cynic, they were the best kept secret no-one realised until now. How can they not be great?
 Oh and no, I'd never heard of them, nor do I really expect to hear of them again once the initial fuss dies down.

They sound like an insect that has many, many legs.
Scary wee beastie.

Peptides are essentially proteins, chains of amino acids. Pentapeptides are chains of 5 amino acids. (proteins are formed by peptides that are many amino acids in length, which subsequently fold up due to interactions between the amino acids).
Its just marketing talk for a compound they have put in to the mix that has a marketable name I guess... Although failing that, im pretty sure it is a conspiracy

For some reason the name 'Nina Bagart (sp)' always makes us giggle!

Chain of 5 amino acids in the form of a proteinous liquid more commonly known as snake oil I believe

So people are trying to sell you products that turn your skin into scales? Niiiice!
I'm afraid I find all these moisturiser, anti-ageing creams, and other such stuff a bit of a crock of **** :/
