HEXAPEPTIDE-63 DIMER

Description

HEXAPEPTIDE-63 DIMER is an innovative peptide complex designed for advanced skincare formulations. This synthetic ingredient consists of two identical hexapeptide-63 molecules linked together, enhancing its efficacy and stability. The compound is primarily known for its ability to promote collagen production and improve skin firmness.

HEXAPEPTIDE-63 DIMER works by mimicking natural growth factors in the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to increase the synthesis of extracellular matrix components, including collagen and elastin. This action helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin texture and elasticity.

In addition to its anti-aging properties, HEXAPEPTIDE-63 DIMER has demonstrated potential in supporting skin barrier function and enhancing moisture retention. It is typically used in concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2% in serums, creams, and other leave-on skincare products.

The ingredient is compatible with most skincare formulations and can be combined with other active ingredients such as antioxidants and hyaluronic acid for synergistic effects. HEXAPEPTIDE-63 DIMER is suitable for all skin types and is particularly beneficial for mature skin or those seeking preventative anti-aging solutions.
