PENTAPEPTIDE-55.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

PENTAPEPTIDE-55, identified also as Pentapeptide-1 or sh-Pentapeptide-1, is a synthetic biomimetic peptide specifically designed to enhance skin health by modulating immune responses. It actively soothes sensitive skin and reduces irritation while contributing to a balanced skin microflora.

Summary

skin conditioning immunomodulating soothing anti-irritant anti-inflammatory microflora regulation

Science

Mechanism of Action

Derived from thymopoietin, this pentapeptide (Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr) precisely interacts with the skin's immune system. Its core function involves decreasing levels of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17 and regulating helper T-cell proportions, thereby alleviating inflammation, calming irritation, and fostering an optimal skin environment.
