sh-Polypeptide-28 is a synthetic recombinant human prolactin hormone analog peptide composed of 199 amino acids. Applied topically, prolactin leaves multiple beneficial effects on the skin including:
- Increases epidermal thickness
- Suppresses skin inflammation
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Lessens melanin production.
sh-Polypeptide-28 is an effective ingredient used in skin care applications for repairing UV-damaged skin, anti-wrinkle, or skin whitening action.
