Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 is a mimic of the cell maturation factor produced by the thymus. Oxytocin acts locally on keratinocytes, inducing the intracellular synthesis of paracrine and autocrine mediators. Oxytocin then stimulates keratinocytes to produce GM-CSF (granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor).
Mechanism:
1) Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 promotes the synthesis of FBLN5 and LOXL1 and enhances their activity
2) Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 improves elastin synthesis
3) Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 up-regulates the expression of genes related to the synthesis of focal adhesion protein and collagen, which greatly increases the synthesis of type I collagen
Beauty effect:
The special genes that control the production of elastin are mainly expressed before birth and within one year after birth. With the increase of age, their expression is greatly reduced. Therefore, elastin in adults is basically the first protein produced. Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 can up-regulate the expression of genes related to collagen synthesis and adhesion spots, and induce the synthesis of elastin and type I collagen, thereby increasing skin firmness and rebuilding the epidermal structure. A firming and anti-aging product suitable for face and body.
Application:
It is suitable for all kinds of anti-wrinkle and anti-aging, firming and repairing, postpartum and post-sun body care formulas. It is added in the final stage of cosmetics production, or used in DIY, and mixed with skin care products after dissolution. It is easy to operate and has high safety.
