Oligopeptide-51 is a synthetic multifunctional peptide known under the trade name CG-Purilux a “Golden key” of skin bioregulation. It regulates two areas of skin rejuvenation and health at once: melanin formation and fat metabolism.
One of the components of the “Gold Standard” of modern treatment of hyperpigmentation. In the treatment of hyperpigmentation, Oligopeptide-51 blocks the synthesis of tyrosinase and its precursors, inhibiting the activity of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). Activating melanin blocker receptors, Oligopeptide-51 reduces the quantity of melanosomes and brightens the skin tone.
Oligopeptide-51 smoothes wrinkles and prevents their appearance by promoting the formation of young healthy skin cells and boosting extracellular matrix fibers production.
In the regulation of fat metabolism, Oligopeptide-51 inhibits the synthesis of lipids, from which sebum is subsequently produced. Reducing the amount of sebum visibly reduces the appearance of sebaceous glands' pores.Inhibiting the production of lipid-accumulating linoleic acid, Oligopeptide-51 lessens the production of triacylglycerol, which is necessary for the transition of lipids to sebum. At the cellular level, it decreases lipogenesis, inhibiting adipocyte differentiation.
