Bipure is an innovative tetrapeptide obtained by condensation from azelaic acid and two molecules of the Dipeptide-10 (alanine-histidine). Azelaic acid plays the role of a lipophilic carrier that additionally promotes antioxidant activity, scavenging free radicals and protecting skin cells from oxidative stress.
Thanks to the presence of two molecules of dipeptide Ala-His the whole molecule can be considered a tetra-peptide, which inhibits the glycation of skin proteins and promotes cell renewal. Glycation of ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins (like collagen) is one of the aging processes in the skin that impaires fibers structure, distribution, and function. The molecular structure of Azelaoyl Bis-Dipeptide-10 prevents the binding of sugar to proteins (glycation), inhibiting AGEs formation and preserving skin firmness and elasticity.
It minimizes the impression of fine lines and wrinkles. Exhibiting a dual action against skin maturation, Azelaoyl Bis-Dipeptide-10 is a safe and effective ingredient for anti-aging preparations, that exposes a firmer, fresher, and youthful appearance.
