ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE SUCCINOYL PENTAPEPTIDE-12.

This innovative compound operates through a synergistic dual mechanism. The ascorbyl phosphate component acts as a potent antioxidant, effectively neutralizing free radicals and providing protection against environmental aggressors and UV-induced damage. It actively contributes to skin brightening by inhibiting melanin production and significantly stimulates collagen synthesis, which is crucial for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. Concurrently, the succinoyl pentapeptide, which shares similarities with GHK (copper peptide), stimulates vital extracellular matrix components such as collagen, dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and the small proteoglycan decorin. It revitalizes the replicative vitality of fibroblasts, attracts immune and endothelial cells to facilitate wound healing, and promotes keratinocyte proliferation, collectively improving skin elasticity, density, firmness, and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, the peptide component possesses the ability to modulate human gene expression, contributing to overall skin vitality and resilience.
