TETRAPEPTIDE-51.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

Tetrapeptide-51 is a cutting-edge biomimetic peptide engineered to bolster the skin's intrinsic defense against genetic damage. By emulating the action of FOXO3a, it actively preserves genomic integrity, supporting the healthy function of essential skin cells and visibly delaying the signs of aging.

Science

This peptide operates by mimicking FOXO3a, a pivotal transcription factor responsible for regulating the cellular response to DNA damage. Through this biomimetic action, Tetrapeptide-51 stimulates the skin's natural repair mechanisms, preventing errors in DNA replication to maintain genomic integrity. This process ultimately slows the visible onset of skin aging and fosters optimal function across fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and melanocytes.
