Oligopeptide-19 is a synthetic peptide that fights against unwanted hair by slowing down hair follicle cell maturation. This peptide is also known under the trade name Alopectin.
Thanks to effective action in two phases of hair development, Oligopeptide-19 eases hair removal and inhibits the growth in undesirable areas. Terminating the anagen phase of hair maturation inhibits the growth and new shaft development in the follicle. Moreover, Oligopeptide-19 boosts the telogen phase when the hair falls out.
