ACETYL SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-92 SP

Description

Acetyl SH-Oligopeptide-92 SP is a synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare applications. This innovative ingredient is comprised of a specific sequence of amino acids, engineered to target and enhance collagen production in the skin. Its acetylated form allows for improved stability and enhanced penetration through the skin's layers.

The peptide works by mimicking natural growth factors, stimulating fibroblasts to increase the synthesis of collagen and other essential extracellular matrix components. This process helps to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture. Clinical studies have shown that Acetyl SH-Oligopeptide-92 SP can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with consistent use.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.001% to 0.01%. It is compatible with a wide variety of cosmetic bases and can be incorporated into serums, creams, and other leave-on products. Acetyl SH-Oligopeptide-92 SP is particularly effective when combined with other anti-aging ingredients such as antioxidants and hydrating agents. Its low molecular weight allows for efficient delivery to the skin's deeper layers, maximizing its efficacy in promoting a more youthful appearance.
