SH-TETRAPEPTIDE-39

Description

SH-Tetrapeptide-39 is an innovative synthetic peptide designed to address multiple skin concerns associated with aging and environmental stress. This small molecule consists of four amino acids specifically sequenced to target cellular pathways involved in skin regeneration and protection.

The peptide functions by stimulating the production of key proteins and enzymes that maintain skin structure and function. It has been shown to upregulate collagen synthesis, enhance cellular antioxidant defenses, and promote the skin's natural repair mechanisms. Clinical studies have demonstrated its efficacy in improving skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture.

SH-Tetrapeptide-39 is particularly effective in combating the effects of glycation, a process where excess sugars bond to proteins, leading to skin stiffness and loss of elasticity. By inhibiting this process, the peptide helps maintain skin suppleness and resilience.

The ingredient is stable in various formulations and can be easily incorporated into serums, creams, and other skincare products. It is well-tolerated by most skin types and shows synergistic effects when combined with other anti-aging ingredients like antioxidants and hyaluronic acid.
