Firming
Smoothing
Skin conditioning
Many researchers determined that some collagen protein fragments (peptides) enhance collagen production. A short peptide with the Gly-Pro-Hyp sequence is found in collagen structure and protein hydrolysates.
Tripeptide-29 is a synthetic biomimetic peptide that significantly improves collagen synthesis promoting wrinkle reduction, firming, and skin plumping. It is known under the trademark AC Collagen Prepeptide PF.
Thanks to a small molecular weight of 285 D, Tripeptide-29 exhibits increased bioavailability and easily penetrates deeper layers of the skin. Reaching dermal fibroblasts, stimulates those cells enhancing collagen synthesis activity.
Increased collagen production improves DHJ (dermal-epidermal junction) integrity and scaffolding matrix. Tripeptide-29 is a safe and effective ingredient for anti-aging preparations formulated to boost collagen production and expose a youthful, healthy, and radiant appearance. It is usually used in 0.1 – 1.0% concentration.See also
