R-(METHIONYL SH-POLYPEPTIDE-9 OLIGOPEPTIDE-164

Description

R-(Methionyl SH-Polypeptide-9 Oligopeptide-164 is an innovative biomimetic peptide complex designed for advanced skincare formulations. This sophisticated ingredient combines two powerful peptides: SH-Polypeptide-9 and Oligopeptide-164, both engineered to mimic naturally occurring growth factors in the skin.

SH-Polypeptide-9, a synthetic human growth hormone analog, stimulates cellular renewal and collagen production. Oligopeptide-164, derived from plant proteins, enhances skin barrier function and promotes hydration. The "R-Methionyl" prefix indicates the addition of a methionine amino acid, which improves the stability and bioavailability of the peptide complex.

This ingredient targets multiple signs of aging by promoting collagen synthesis, improving skin elasticity, and enhancing cellular turnover. It also aids in moisture retention and strengthens the skin's protective barrier. Clinical studies have shown significant improvements in skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance with regular use.

R-(Methionyl SH-Polypeptide-9 Oligopeptide-164 is typically used in low concentrations (0.001% to 0.01%) 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 synergistic effects.
