Science
Mechanism of Action
Works by supporting extracellular matrix proteins including collagen and elastin through targeted skin conditioning. The acetylated peptide sequence interacts with cellular processes involved in skin structural maintenance, while the amidopropoxy PEG-2 propylamine modification enhances penetration through the stratum corneum and provides molecular stability against degradation.

Dusting Analysis
As a high-potency peptide typically used at sub-1% concentrations, effective levels are naturally low. Proprietary nature makes dusting assessment challenging, but peptides generally require meaningful concentrations for biological activity.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Requires neutral to slightly acidic pH environment to prevent peptide bond hydrolysis. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and maintain pH above 4.0 and below 8.0 for optimal stability.
Synergies
- hyaluronic acid
- vitamin C
- niacinamide
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
- proteolytic enzymes
- high pH ingredients
