OLIGOPEPTIDE-142

Description

Oligopeptide-142 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed specifically for advanced skincare formulations. This biomimetic molecule consists of a precise sequence of amino acids that closely mimics naturally occurring signaling proteins in the skin. Its primary function is to target and inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen and elastin in the skin's extracellular matrix.

By suppressing MMP activity, Oligopeptide-142 helps preserve the skin's structural integrity and maintain its firmness and elasticity. Clinical studies have shown that regular application of products containing this peptide can lead to a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin texture, and enhanced overall skin resilience.

Oligopeptide-142 is particularly effective in anti-aging formulations, working synergistically with other active ingredients such as antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. It is well-tolerated by most skin types and can be incorporated into various skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks. The peptide's stability and small molecular size allow for efficient penetration into the skin, ensuring optimal efficacy at relatively low concentrations.
