OLIGOPEPTIDE-175

Description

Oligopeptide-175 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed for advanced skincare formulations. This biomimetic compound is engineered to mimic the structure and function of naturally occurring peptides in the skin. With a molecular weight optimized for effective skin penetration, Oligopeptide-175 targets specific cellular pathways involved in collagen synthesis and skin repair.

Studies indicate that Oligopeptide-175 stimulates fibroblast activity, promoting the production of key extracellular matrix components, including collagen and elastin. This action contributes to improved skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, the peptide has demonstrated the ability to modulate melanin production, potentially aiding in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.

In vitro research suggests that Oligopeptide-175 may also possess antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress. Its incorporation into skincare formulations typically ranges from 0.001% to 0.1%, depending on the specific product application and desired effects.

While promising, long-term clinical studies on Oligopeptide-175 are still ongoing to fully elucidate its efficacy and potential side effects in various skin types and conditions.
