Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10 is a synthetic lipopeptide (Sequence Pal-Ala-His) with Carnosine-like action. It is also known under the trade names SunPEP Di-100 and C-Pep™.
Dipeptide-10 (L-alanyl-L-histidine) is structurally close to Carnosine (ß-alanyl-L-histidine), but chemically they are different peptides. Both peptides exhibit potent antioxidant properties, scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage. In addition, they prevent skin's structural protein glycation and crosslinking, exhibiting noticeable anti-aging effects.
Conjugation of Dipeptide-10 with Palmitic acid (palmitoylation) improves skin penetration, enhances peptide stability in the formula, and protects it from proteolytic enzymes.
According to the manufacturer's claim, Palmitoyl Dipeptide-10 protects dermal cells from oxidative damage, accelerates wound healing, and fights against cellular senescence. It increases the quantity of functional ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins, preventing glycation and protecting against reactive carbonyl species.Synonyms
