Science
Mechanism of Action
This bioactive synthetic signal peptide operates by targeting the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ), a crucial interface between the dermis and epidermis. It supports the synthesis and organization of specific collagens and proteins essential for the DEJ's strength and function. This signaling action activates the skin's endogenous repair mechanisms, which in turn helps to mitigate the appearance of lines and wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and improve overall firmness and suppleness.
