3-ASCORBYL CARBONYL DIPEPTIDE-17
Description
3-ASCORBYL CARBONYL DIPEPTIDE-17 is an advanced skincare ingredient that combines the potent antioxidant properties of vitamin C with the targeted delivery capabilities of a dipeptide. This innovative compound is designed to enhance skin brightness, promote collagen synthesis, and provide superior protection against oxidative stress.
The molecule consists of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) linked to a specific dipeptide sequence through a carbonyl group. This unique structure offers improved stability and penetration compared to traditional vitamin C formulations. The dipeptide component acts as a carrier, facilitating more efficient delivery of ascorbic acid to the deeper layers of the skin.
3-ASCORBYL CARBONYL DIPEPTIDE-17 exhibits potent antioxidant activity, neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative damage to skin cells. It stimulates collagen production, promoting skin firmness and elasticity. The ingredient also inhibits melanin synthesis, helping to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Studies have shown that this compound demonstrates enhanced stability in various formulations, maintaining its efficacy over time. It is particularly suitable for use in serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging products targeting skin brightening, firmness, and overall skin health improvement.
