SH-POLYPEPTIDE-50 SH-POLYPEPTIDE-56

Description

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-50 and SH-POLYPEPTIDE-56 are advanced biomimetic peptides designed to target specific skin concerns. These synthetic peptides are engineered to mimic naturally occurring proteins in the skin, promoting cellular communication and supporting various skin functions.

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-50 is primarily focused on stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It works by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing structural proteins in the dermis. This peptide has been shown to enhance skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-56, on the other hand, is designed to support skin barrier function and hydration. It helps to reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving overall skin moisture levels. This peptide also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin.

Both peptides are typically used in low concentrations in skincare formulations due to their high potency. They are compatible with a wide range of other skincare ingredients and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and masks. Regular use of products containing these peptides may lead to improved skin texture, enhanced firmness, and a more youthful appearance.
