Description
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 is an advanced skincare ingredient renowned for its powerful anti-wrinkle and firming effects. It is composed of three amino acids and is a doubly oxidized lipopeptide, inspired by a tripeptide naturally found in Collagen V and Laminin. This ingredient works by rebuilding the skin from within, particularly improving forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, and neck wrinkles.
The anti-aging effect of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 primarily stems from its Matrikine action. Matrikines are small peptide molecules that regulate cell activity, stimulating the synthesis of key components of the skin matrix and the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) by matrix cells (such as fibroblasts), including:
1. Collagen I, III, and IV: Collagen is the main structural protein in the skin, providing elasticity and strength.
2. Fibronectin: An important matrix protein involved in constructing the extracellular matrix and cell adhesion.
3. Hyaluronic Acid: A potent moisturizer that attracts and retains water, keeping the skin plump and hydrated.
4. Laminin-5: Plays a crucial role in the skin's basement membrane, helping to connect the epidermis and dermis.
By promoting the synthesis of these key components, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 can reconstruct the skin's network structure, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity, thereby effectively reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Long-term use of skincare products containing this ingredient can significantly improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin, making it look younger and firmer.
