R-(METHIONYL TRIPEPTIDE-46 HEXAPEPTIDE-40 TETRAPEPTIDE-66 SYNECHOCOCCUS POLYPEPTIDE-1)

Description

R-(Methionyl Tripeptide-46 Hexapeptide-40 Tetrapeptide-66 Synechococcus Polypeptide-1) is a complex peptide blend designed for advanced skincare formulations. This innovative ingredient combines four distinct peptides to target multiple aspects of skin health and appearance. The methionyl tripeptide-46 component is known for its potential to support collagen production, while hexapeptide-40 may help improve skin elasticity and firmness. Tetrapeptide-66 is included for its ability to enhance skin barrier function and hydration. The Synechococcus polypeptide-1, derived from marine microalgae, offers antioxidant properties and protection against environmental stressors.

This multi-peptide complex is formulated to address various signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity. It is typically incorporated into serums, creams, and other anti-aging skincare products at concentrations between 1-5%. Clinical studies have shown promising results in improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and enhancing overall skin tone when used consistently over 8-12 weeks. The ingredient is generally well-tolerated by most skin types but should be introduced gradually into skincare routines to assess individual sensitivity.
