Science
Mechanism of Action
This peptide functions by inducing the expression of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70), a molecular chaperone. HSP70 repairs damaged proteins and strengthens the skin's tolerance to environmental aggressors like UV radiation and temperature extremes, while also stimulating collagen and reducing inflammation.
