Science
Mechanism of Action
Peptides, including R-(Aspartyl Oligopeptide-162 Aspartyl rh-Polypeptide-115), generally function as signaling molecules that communicate with cellular processes to activate the skin's intrinsic repair mechanisms. This interaction is understood to contribute to the strengthening of skin architecture and the visible reduction of wrinkle depth. Specific peptide subgroups, such as polycollagen peptides, can biomimic natural collagen fragments essential for dermal repair, leading to improvements in skin elasticity and overall complexion, alongside the mitigation of lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, these peptides demonstrate an ability to penetrate and reinforce the internal structure of hair fibers.
