SH-POLYPEPTIDE-121

Description

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-121 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed to target multiple aspects of skin aging and regeneration. This advanced biomimetic peptide is engineered to mimic the effects of natural growth factors in the skin, particularly those involved in collagen synthesis and cellular repair processes.

The peptide works by activating specific cellular receptors, triggering a cascade of signaling pathways that promote skin rejuvenation. It has been shown to enhance the production of key extracellular matrix components, including collagen types I, III, and IV, as well as elastin and hyaluronic acid. This leads to improved skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration.

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-121 also demonstrates potent antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Clinical studies have indicated its efficacy in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall skin tone and radiance.

The peptide is typically used in low concentrations in skincare formulations due to its high potency. It is compatible with various cosmetic bases and can be incorporated into serums, creams, and other topical products aimed at anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.
