TETRAPEPTIDE-75

Description

Tetrapeptide-75 is an innovative bioactive peptide designed to target specific skin concerns related to aging and environmental stress. This synthetic peptide consists of four amino acids carefully sequenced to mimic naturally occurring proteins in the skin. Its primary function is to stimulate collagen production and enhance the skin's natural repair mechanisms.

Tetrapeptide-75 works by activating fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This activation leads to increased synthesis of structural proteins, resulting in improved skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, this peptide has been shown to enhance the skin's barrier function, helping to protect against environmental aggressors and moisture loss.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Tetrapeptide-75 can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles when used consistently in skincare formulations. It is typically incorporated into serums, creams, and other leave-on products at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2%. The peptide is stable in various formulations and compatible with most other skincare ingredients, making it a versatile option for formulators seeking to develop effective anti-aging products.
