SH-DECAPEPTIDE-1 SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-2

Description

SH-Decapeptide-1 and SH-Oligopeptide-2 are advanced biomimetic peptides engineered to target specific skin concerns. These synthetic peptides are designed to mimic naturally occurring proteins in the skin, promoting cellular communication and enhancing various dermal functions.

SH-Decapeptide-1 is a chain of ten amino acids that stimulates the production of extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen and elastin. It works by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for synthesizing these structural proteins. This peptide has shown promise in improving skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture.

SH-Oligopeptide-2 is a smaller peptide that functions as a growth factor, specifically mimicking Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF). It plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing. This peptide accelerates skin renewal, promotes the formation of new skin cells, and enhances the skin's natural repair processes.

Both peptides demonstrate excellent skin penetration capabilities and work synergistically to address multiple signs of aging. They are stable in various formulations and can be incorporated into serums, creams, and other skincare products. Clinical studies have shown these peptides to be effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and improving overall skin quality.
