METHIONYL SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-75 SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-2

Description

Methionyl SH-Oligopeptide-75 SH-Oligopeptide-2 is an innovative synthetic peptide complex designed to target multiple aspects of skin aging. This dual-action ingredient combines two distinct oligopeptides, each with specific functions to enhance skin appearance and health.

SH-Oligopeptide-75 is a biomimetic peptide that stimulates collagen production and supports skin structure. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, this peptide has been shown to improve skin hydration and barrier function.

SH-Oligopeptide-2, also known as SH-Polypeptide-2, is a growth factor that aids in cellular renewal and repair. It promotes the proliferation of skin cells, enhancing the skin's natural regeneration process. This component can help improve skin texture and tone, while also supporting wound healing.

The methionyl addition to this complex provides antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress. This ingredient is typically used in anti-aging formulations, serums, and intensive treatments. Its efficacy is concentration-dependent, with optimal results observed in formulations containing 1-5% of the complex. Clinical studies have demonstrated improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall appearance with consistent use.
