Science & Benefits

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a synthetic 'messenger' peptide that mimics the activity of Thrombospondin I (TSP-1), a molecule responsible for activating TGF-beta (Tissue Growth Factor). This activation signals the skin to synthesize new collagen and glycosaminoglycans. As a humectant, it significantly increases the skin's internal water-binding capacity. It is entirely non-comedogenic and zero-irritant. For acne-prone individuals, it provides a 'scaffolding' effect that prevents the formation of atrophic scars while maintaining deep, dermal hydration without the use of lipids.
