OLIGOPEPTIDE-172

Description

Oligopeptide-172 is a synthetic peptide designed to target specific skin concerns, particularly focused on improving the appearance of aging skin. This innovative ingredient is composed of a precise sequence of amino acids that mimic naturally occurring peptides in the skin. Oligopeptide-172 functions by stimulating collagen production and enhancing cellular communication within the skin's structure.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Oligopeptide-172 can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while improving skin firmness and elasticity. Its molecular structure allows for efficient penetration into the deeper layers of the skin, where it can effectively promote the synthesis of key structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.

In addition to its anti-aging properties, Oligopeptide-172 has shown potential in promoting a more even skin tone and enhancing overall skin radiance. It works synergistically with other skincare ingredients, making it a versatile component in various formulations. The peptide is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Incorporation of Oligopeptide-172 in skincare products typically ranges from 0.5% to 2% concentration for optimal efficacy and safety.
