SH-POLYPEPTIDE-64

Description

SH-POLYPEPTIDE-64 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed to target multiple aspects of skin aging and repair. This biomimetic compound is engineered to mimic the action of naturally occurring growth factors in the skin, particularly those involved in cellular regeneration and collagen synthesis.

The peptide's structure allows it to penetrate the skin's outer layers effectively, where it can interact with fibroblasts and other key cells. Upon absorption, SH-POLYPEPTIDE-64 stimulates the production of essential skin proteins, including collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that SH-POLYPEPTIDE-64 can significantly improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone. It has also shown promise in accelerating wound healing and improving the appearance of scars.

This ingredient is typically used in advanced anti-aging formulations at concentrations between 0.001% to 0.1%. It is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, though as with any active ingredient, patch testing is recommended before full application. SH-POLYPEPTIDE-64 can be combined with other anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants and hyaluronic acid for synergistic effects.
