SR-(TIGER POLYPEPTIDE-2 HEXAPEPTIDE-40)

Description

SR-(TIGER POLYPEPTIDE-2 HEXAPEPTIDE-40) is an innovative biomimetic peptide derived from the Tiger Grass plant (Centella asiatica). This hexapeptide is designed to mimic the skin-repairing properties of the natural plant extract, offering enhanced stability and efficacy in skincare formulations. The peptide sequence specifically targets collagen production and skin barrier function, promoting a more resilient and youthful complexion.

In clinical studies, SR-(TIGER POLYPEPTIDE-2 HEXAPEPTIDE-40) has demonstrated significant improvements in skin elasticity, hydration, and overall texture. It works by stimulating fibroblast activity, leading to increased synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid. This action helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin firmness.

The peptide also exhibits potent antioxidant properties, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress and environmental damage. Its ability to strengthen the skin barrier function makes it particularly beneficial for sensitive or compromised skin. SR-(TIGER POLYPEPTIDE-2 HEXAPEPTIDE-40) is typically used in concentrations of 0.5-2% in various skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks, targeting anti-aging and skin repair concerns.
