Common Name(s): Thymulen 4,thymopoietin fragment

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides thymulin-like skin immunity restoration and collagen stimulation.

Why It's Used: Immunoaging anti-aging peptide โ€” targets the decline of skin immune function with aging (thymic involution leads to reduced skin immunity) for immune-restoration anti-aging approach unavailable from conventional collagen peptides.

How It Works: Thymopoietin-derived sequence activates thymulin-like receptors on skin immune cells. restores langerhans cell and skin t-cell function declining with age. stimulates collagen synthesis via immunocyte-fibroblast paracrine signalling.

Typically Found In: Mature skin anti-aging products,immune-targeting anti-aging

Avoid Combining With: Avoid mixing with high-concentration ahas at same ph (may hydrolyze peptide bonds)

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Skin immune function decline (immunosenescence) contributes to impaired wound healing and increased skin cancer risk with aging โ€” by targeting skin-specific immunity restoration rather than just ecm synthesis, thymulen 4 addresses an anti-aging mechanism largely neglected by conventional collagen-targeting approaches.
