Peptides in this product
Anti-aging collagen stimulator widely used in anti-aging serums. One of the most well-studied cosmetic peptides with a strong track record for reducing fine lines.
A collagen-boosting signal peptide most often paired with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 to form the Matrixyl 3000 complex. Popular in anti-aging formulations aimed at mature or sensitive skin.
"Botox in a bottle" claims surround this muscle-relaxing peptide. Marketed for expression lines, though its real-world effect is significantly more modest than injectable neurotoxins.
An anti-inflammatory signal peptide most commonly found paired with Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 in the Matrixyl 3000 complex. While Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 stimulates collagen production, Tetrapeptide-7 works to reduce inflammation and skin damage from UV exposure.
