RH-POLYPEPTIDE-5.

Insufficient Data CAS 76057-06-2 / SKIN CONDITIONING

RH-POLYPEPTIDE-5 is a synthetic peptide, structurally analogous to human Leu-Enkephalin, designed to mimic natural endorphin activity. It is suggested to offer a 'Botox-like' effect on the skin, potentially reducing the appearance of wrinkles, while also acting as a skin conditioning agent.

Summary

Skin Conditioning Anti-aging Wrinkle Reduction

Science

Mechanism of Action

This polypeptide functions by emulating the action of human Leu-Enkephalin, an endorphin. This mimetic activity is hypothesized to contribute to a localized muscle-relaxing effect, thereby potentially diminishing the visibility of expression lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it enhances the overall feel and appearance of the skin through its conditioning properties.
