Mechanism of Action
Cyclotetrapeptide-24 Aminocyclohexane Carboxylate HCL functions as a biomimetic peptide, designed to mimic natural cellular communication pathways. By binding to specific receptors on the skin's surface, it triggers endogenous repair mechanisms. This action strengthens skin integrity, enhances firmness and elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and protects the skin's essential collagen and elastin from degradation while stimulating cellular regeneration.

Key findings
- 01 Clinical observations indicate that at concentrations between 2-5%, the peptide significantly enhances skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience, while visibly reducing wrinkle depth and supporting the skin's volume-providing cellular matrix.
- 02 Studies suggest a rapid improvement in skin's freshness and youthful appearance, alongside enhanced elasticity and a reduction in wrinkles.
- 03 It stimulates the regeneration of mature skin, strengthening its structure and contributing to a visible reduction in wrinkles, improved complexion, and increased skin elasticity.
