SH-HEXAPEPTIDE-6 SP AMIDE

antioxidant anti-aging skin conditioning hydrating barrier support

Science

Mechanism of Action

This peptide acts primarily as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that contribute to premature skin aging. Generally, cosmetic peptides communicate with skin cells, prompting them to initiate endogenous repair processes. This includes stimulating the regeneration of mature skin, thereby improving anti-aging outcomes and visibly minimizing wrinkles. Similar peptides are known to bolster the skin's natural barrier, facilitate moisture retention, and contribute to skin conditioning for a smoother, more supple complexion. It also reinforces skin surface resilience and firmness, actively binding water to the skin for a pronounced hydrating effect akin to hyaluronic acid.
