NICOTINOYL TRIPEPTIDE-48

Description

NICOTINOYL TRIPEPTIDE-48 is an innovative peptide complex designed for advanced skincare formulations. This synthetic tripeptide is derived from nicotinic acid and three amino acids, engineered to target specific skin concerns. Its primary function is to enhance the skin's natural defense mechanisms against environmental stressors, particularly UV radiation and oxidative damage.

The compound works by stimulating the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in skin cells. These HSPs play a crucial role in protecting cellular structures and repairing damage caused by various stressors. NICOTINOYL TRIPEPTIDE-48 has been shown to increase the expression of HSP70, a key protein in the cellular stress response.

In clinical studies, this ingredient demonstrated significant improvements in skin resilience and recovery after UV exposure. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by supporting the skin's natural repair processes. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness over time.

NICOTINOYL TRIPEPTIDE-48 is typically used in concentrations of 1-5% in serums, creams, and other anti-aging skincare products. It is compatible with most skincare formulations and can be combined with other active ingredients for enhanced benefits.
