Science & Benefits
sh-Polypeptide-11 is a recombinant growth factor that stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes. In acne-prone skin, it functions as a 'structural healer,' facilitating the rapid closure of blemish sites and preventing the 'dips' in skin texture that lead to atrophic scarring. As a humectant, it increases the skin's endogenous production of water-binding proteins. It is entirely non-comedogenic and zero-irritant. It represents a 'gold standard' for post-breakout recovery, ensuring the skin remains hydrated and smooth during the critical tissue-remodeling phase.
