PENTAPEPTIDE-29 CYSTEINAMIDE

Description

PENTAPEPTIDE-29 CYSTEINAMIDE is a synthetic peptide specifically designed for advanced skincare formulations. This innovative compound consists of five amino acids, including cysteine, which plays a crucial role in its efficacy. The peptide is engineered to penetrate the skin's upper layers, where it targets key cellular processes involved in maintaining skin health and appearance.

Studies suggest that PENTAPEPTIDE-29 CYSTEINAMIDE may stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, potentially reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its unique structure allows it to interact with specific receptors in skin cells, promoting cellular renewal and improving overall skin texture. The cysteinamide component contributes to the peptide's stability and may enhance its ability to form disulfide bonds, which are important for skin structure.

In skincare formulations, this ingredient is typically used in serums, creams, and other anti-aging products. It is compatible with various other active ingredients and can be incorporated into both water-based and oil-based formulations. While generally well-tolerated, as with any peptide-based ingredient, patch testing is recommended for individuals with sensitive skin or known allergies to ensure suitability.
