DECAPEPTIDE-49

Description

Decapeptide-49 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare formulations. This bioactive compound consists of a specific sequence of ten amino acids, carefully engineered to target key cellular processes involved in skin rejuvenation and repair.

The peptide works by mimicking natural signaling molecules in the skin, promoting collagen synthesis and enhancing the skin's natural repair mechanisms. It has demonstrated efficacy in improving skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin texture.

In vitro studies have shown that Decapeptide-49 stimulates fibroblast activity, leading to increased production of extracellular matrix components such as collagen and elastin. This contributes to improved skin firmness and resilience. Additionally, the peptide has exhibited antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

Decapeptide-49 is typically incorporated into serums, creams, and other topical formulations at concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 ppm. Its small molecular size allows for efficient penetration through the stratum corneum, enabling it to reach target cells in the dermis. The peptide is generally well-tolerated and can be used in a variety of skincare products aimed at anti-aging and skin revitalization.
