Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
Definition
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a synthetic peptide composed of three amino acids linked to a palmitic acid molecule. It is designed to mimic the structure of a fragment of collagen, a protein responsible for skin strength and elasticity. When applied topically, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 promotes collagen synthesis and stimulates the production of extracellular matrix components, such as elastin and glycosaminoglycans. This peptide helps to improve skin firmness, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance skin elasticity. By supporting collagen regeneration, it contributes to the overall health and appearance of the skin.
