RICE SH-POLYPEPTIDE-9 DIMER.

This ingredient operates as a sophisticated cell signaling protein, specifically identified as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). Its primary mechanism involves stimulating angiogenesis, the essential process of forming new blood vessels within the dermis. This enhanced vascularization significantly improves the delivery of vital nutrients and oxygen to fibroblasts, the cells responsible for synthesizing collagen. By promoting cellular proliferation and migration, RICE SH-POLYPEPTIDE-9 DIMER actively supports the skin's natural wound healing processes and strengthens its endogenous repair capacities. This leads to a measurable improvement in skin structure, a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhanced skin hydration and elasticity. Furthermore, it reinforces the skin's protective barrier against environmental aggressors and has been observed to contribute to inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases while stimulating hyaluronan 2 expression in keratinocytes, collectively fostering a more robust and youthful complexion.
