Description
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (formerly called palmitoyl pentapeptide-3) was the fi rst big successful breakthrough peptide ingredient and probably the most commonly used peptide for aging skin. Also known as Matrixyl?, palmitoyl pentatpeptide-4 has been demonstrated to signifi cantly increase collagen synthesis, improving the appearance of wrinkles and sagging of the aging skin. Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is basically a sequential piece of a collagen molecule. It is theorized to work by “tricking” the skin into “believing” that too much collagen has been broken down, thereby curbing the production of collagenase, the enzyme that destroys collagen, and stimulating fi broblasts, the cells that produce collagen. The results of using palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 are remarkable, and the performance ingredient does not cause the irritation that can be caused by other antiaging ingredients such as retinol.
Definition
palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is a skin conditioner. Clinical studies by manufacturers credit it with an ability to promote collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. This would result in an ability to restore skin thickness, which diminishes with age, and to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is a synthetic peptide with serine, threonine, and hexadecanoyl derivatives.
benefits
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is effectivly reduce various kind of facial wrinkles;Replenish the collagen and polysaccharide, repairthe skin.Winkey patented productin China.It is recommended dosage is 3~10%.
benefits
PalmitoylPentapeptide-4 boost tissue regeneration, activate production ofcollagen, sucrose osamine and hyaluronic acid,widely used on the long-lasting aging formula.Its recommended dosage is 3~8%.
Mechanism of action
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide appears to work by increasing collagen production, stimulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid growth, increasing the skin's moisture content and retention, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin's surface. Pentapeptide is equivalent to intimate integration with the skin, changing the skin ecology and cell repair, and playing the role of intracellular hormones and enzymes.
Properties and Applications
Cosmetic polypeptides can penetrate the dermis to increase the level of collagen and reverse the aging process of the skin through rebuilding from inside to outside.
Cosmetic pentapeptide is also a cosmetic polypeptide. The prototype of the polypeptide is palmitic acid pentapeptide, commonly known as the five peptides, being able to simulate the paralysis effect of botulinum toxin. It is a short peptide fragment consisting of five amino acids formed by peptide bonds with its structure being similar to the protein. However, the protein has a longer peptide chain, usually consisting of hundreds of amino acids. Based on the differences of the number of amino acids, these polypeptides are divided into dipeptides (including two amino acids), tripeptides (including three amino acids), tetrapeptides (including four amino acids), etc. Because of the different categories of amino acids contained, both dipeptides and tripeptides have different varieties. At the same time, even with the same number of amino acids, the dipeptides will still have different varieties due to the different sort order of the amino acid. This leads to a number of peptides with a variety of roles and names. The pentapeptide is composed of six amino acids (Pal palmitic acid, Lys-lysine, Thr-threonine, Thr-threonine, Lys-lysine and Ser-serine).
The cosmetic pentapeptide is actually the C-terminal fragment of Collagen I, having an effect being similar to that of the laser surgery. It can stimulate the growth of collagen, stretch fibers and hyaluronic acid, improve skin moisture and the degree of locking water, increase skin thickness and reduce the microgroove; at the same time, addition of a long chain of fatty acids (palmitic acid) can increase the absorption effect. Compared with the laser surgery, the five-peptides is equivalent to intimate fusion with the skin, changing the skin ecology and cell repair, further playing the role of intracellular hormones and enzymes.
