Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is a biomimetic peptide specifically designed to mimic the body's natural mechanism for reducing muscle contractions that lead to expression lines and wrinkles. Its mechanism of action is highly targeted and sophisticated:
Neurotransmitter-Inhibiting Peptide (Flattening Effect):
Penetration & Efficacy: The Acetyl group enhances stability and biomimicry, while the Cetyl Ester enables lipid solubility, allowing the peptide to effectively penetrate the stratum corneum to reach deeper skin layers.
Inhibition: Significant reduction of acetylcholine release in neuronal cell models in a dose-dependent manner.
Safety: Excellent tolerance in standard cytotoxicity assays on human fibroblast cultures.
Stability: High stability in emulsions and serums under standard storage conditions.
