Product Description

Product Description

Mechanism of Action (MOA)

Tetrapeptide-21 is an innovative neurocosmetic peptide that specifically targets the underlying causes of skin sensitivity and irritation through a neuromodulatory pathway.

Inhibition of Neurogenic Inflammation:

  • Specific antagonist of the Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor X4 (MRGPRX4).
  • Prevents the release of key neuropeptides, such as Substance P.
  • Reduces vasodilation (redness) and plasma extravasation (swelling).

Calming Sensory Neurons:

Reduces the hyper-reactivity of sensory neurons, lowering overreaction to external aggressors like pollutants or physical stress.

In Vitro & Clinical Results

In Vitro Efficacy

High binding affinity for the MRGPRX4 receptor. Studies show significant inhibition of Substance P release and reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Clinical Study

A 28-day study on sensitive skin volunteers using 50 ppm Tetrapeptide-21 twice daily showed a significant decrease in stinging, itching, and burning.

Visible Redness

Clinical grading confirmed statistically significant reduction in facial redness and overall skin reactivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the main benefit of Tetrapeptide-21 for the skin? A: It primarily acts as a neurocosmetic soothing agent that reduces skin sensitivity, redness, and discomfort like itching or stinging.
Q2: How does it help with skin redness? A: By blocking the MRGPRX4 receptor, it inhibits the release of neuropeptides that cause vasodilation, thereby reducing visible redness.
Q3: What is the recommended concentration for cosmetic formulations? A: The typical use level is 20-100 ppm, with 50 ppm (0.005%) being the clinically recommended dosage for optimal results.
Q4: Can this peptide be used in products with Retinol or Vitamin C? A: Yes, it is excellent for boosting skin tolerance, making it ideal to use alongside potentially irritating actives like retinoids or acids.
Q5: Is Tetrapeptide-21 water-soluble? A: Yes, it is highly soluble and stable in aqueous phases, making it easy to incorporate into serums and creams.
Q6: Is this product suitable for vegan formulations? A: Yes, Tetrapeptide-21 does not contain animal-derived components and is not tested on animals.
