The peptide sequence is engineered to mimic the activity of natural proteins that are crucial for the structural integrity of the DEJ. By signaling dermal cells, it helps to promote the synthesis of key DEJ components such as Collagen IV, Collagen VII, and Laminin V.
It provides a supportive signal to fibroblasts, leading to an increased production of major dermal structural proteins, including Collagen I, III, and Elastin, resulting in improved skin density and elasticity.
The myristoyl (C14) lipid chain attached to the peptide enhances its skin penetration and stability, allowing it to effectively reach its target sites within the dermis.
Demonstrates a significant upregulation of genes encoding for Collagen I, III, IV, VII, and Laminin 5.
A dose-dependent increase in the production of Collagen I and III proteins is observed in cell culture.
Shows a stimulatory effect on fibroblast metabolism, enhancing the skin's natural regenerative capacity.
A 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with female volunteers aged 40-65 applying a 4% Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 serum showed:
Non-irritating, non-cytotoxic, and highly biocompatible ingredient.
Effective in a wide pH range, ideally between 4.5 and 7.0.
Synergistic with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and Vitamin C. Recommended to incorporate into the water phase at temperatures <40°C.
