The Science of Anti-Stress Skincare: Corum Peptides for Cortisol Defense

Neurocosmetics, the intersection of neuroscience and skincare, is a rapidly growing trend that has gained momentum, reshaping our understanding of stress-related skin aging. More brands are now integrating neuroscience and psychology to address the biological impact of emotional and environmental stress on skin health. One of the key biological messengers involved in this skin-stress response is cortisol.

Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, plays a central role in the skin’s response to emotional and environmental stress. When stress is brief and well-regulated, cortisol helps control inflammation and supports the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. However, when homeostasis is disrupted, excess cortisol overstimulates collagen degradation, suppresses new collagen production, and weakens the skin barrier. The result? Wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and increased sensitivity—all signs of premature aging.
