ACETYL SH-TRIPEPTIDE-3 AMIDE.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

This advanced growth factor mimetic peptide supports comprehensive skin rejuvenation by promoting fibroblast proliferation and enhancing extracellular matrix components, leading to improved hydration and reduced hyperpigmentation. It is particularly effective in high-end anti-aging applications, stimulating essential collagen and elastin production.

skin conditioning cell-communicating ingredient

Science

It functions as a mimetic of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF), binding to the EGFR to stimulate cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. This action supports skin regeneration and boosts water retention by inducing hyaluronan-related gene expression.
