SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-4.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-4 is a synthetic recombinant peptide derived from Thymosin-β4, offering comprehensive rejuvenating benefits for the skin. It actively enhances skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and significantly improves moisture levels, alongside robust antioxidant and reparative actions.

Science

This peptide operates by stimulating collagen deposition and accelerating natural wound recovery processes. At a cellular level, it efficiently neutralizes Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and ABTS free radicals, concurrently enhancing Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity for superior antioxidant defense. SH-OLIGOPEPTIDE-4 also stabilizes mitochondrial membrane potential, boosting ATP energy production and improving mitochondrial function. It actively counters collagen degradation from UVA exposure, stimulates Extracellular Matrix (ECM) regeneration, and protects against photoaging. Beyond skin, it promotes hair growth by stimulating follicle stem cell growth, migration, differentiation, and protease production.
