TETRAPEPTIDE-70

Description

Tetrapeptide-70 is an innovative biomimetic peptide designed to target and improve skin barrier function. This synthetic peptide consists of four amino acids carefully sequenced to mimic the natural processes of skin repair and protection. Tetrapeptide-70 works by stimulating the production of key proteins and lipids essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

The primary function of Tetrapeptide-70 is to enhance the skin's natural defense mechanisms against environmental stressors and transepidermal water loss. It accomplishes this by promoting the synthesis of corneodesmosin, a crucial protein for corneocyte cohesion, and by increasing the production of ceramides, which are vital lipids for skin barrier integrity.

Clinical studies have shown that Tetrapeptide-70 can significantly improve skin hydration, reduce sensitivity, and enhance overall skin barrier function within weeks of regular use. This peptide is particularly beneficial for individuals with dry, sensitive, or compromised skin conditions. Tetrapeptide-70 is typically incorporated into serums, moisturizers, and targeted treatments at concentrations ranging from 2% to 5% for optimal efficacy.
