Oligopeptides and Functions - Summary



INCI names
Functions
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
Stimulates the synthesis of new collagen and other components of the skin matrix (Pal-GHK)
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
Potent agent with functions of anti-aging, wrinkle smoothing, cutaneous barrier repair (Pal-GQPR)
Acetyl Octapeptide-3
Also called Acetyl-Octapetpide-8 (SNAP-8). It's elongated version of Acetyl-Hexapeptide. It reduces the depth of wrinkles on the face caused by the contraction of muscles of facial expression, especially in the forehead and around the eyes. It is a safer, cheaper, and milder alternative to Botulinum Toxin, topically targeting the same wrinkle-formation mechanism in a very different way. SNAP-8 can be incorporated in cosmetic formulations such as emulsions, gels, sera, etc., where removal of the deep lines or wrinkles in the forehead or around the eyes area is desired (Ac-EEMQRRAN).
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
One of the two components of Matrixyl 3000 composed of Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7). These two agents act in synergy to repair the cutaneous damages of age. By activating the skin’s natural production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, Matrixyl 3000 reduces wrinkles and other signs of aging by maintaining the contents of collagen, elastin, & hyaluronic acid in keratinocytes.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
Stimulates collagen synthesis, actively removes wrinkles, and keep skin firm and moistured. Palmitoyl Tripeptide has been clinically proven to be safe and effective (Pal-RFK).
Oligopeptide-1
Highly potent anti-aging peptide. Stimulates the growth and proliferation of skin fibroblats and accelerates the wound healing of epidermis damage.
Oligopeptide-2
IGF-6 (153 amino acids)
Acetyl Decapeptide-3
Also known as Rejuline, anti-aging.
Acetyl Heptapeptide-3
Anti-aging, wrinkle reduction (Ac-EEMQRR).
Hexapeptide-2
Skin brightening/whitening and skin pigmentation spot repair.
Octapeptide-2
Stimulate hair growth.
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, 14, 15
Anti-aging, helps repair the cutaeous matrix damage. Stimulates human fibroblasts proliferation (Pal-VGVAPG).
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
Also known as Matrixyl Acetate. Anti-aging and wrinkle reduction. It is a derivative of the pro-collagen I pentapeptide, a chain of five amino acid fragments (Pal-KTTKS).
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-10
Anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, and cutaneous barrier repair (Pal-GQPR).
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
Anti-aging
Betaine
Anti-aging, anti-inflammation, maintaining misture
