ACETYL SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-35

Description

Acetyl SH-Pentapeptide-35 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed to target multiple aspects of skin aging and repair. This pentapeptide consists of five amino acids with an acetyl group attached, enhancing its stability and penetration into the skin. The molecule is specifically engineered to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity.

Research indicates that Acetyl SH-Pentapeptide-35 works by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin in the dermis. This activation leads to increased synthesis of extracellular matrix components, particularly type I and III collagen. The peptide also exhibits antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Clinical studies have shown that regular application of formulations containing Acetyl SH-Pentapeptide-35 can result in measurable improvements in skin firmness, reduction of fine lines, and overall skin texture. The ingredient is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2% in skincare products. It is compatible with various formulation types, including serums, creams, and gels, making it versatile for incorporation into anti-aging skincare regimens.
