What It Does

This multi-component peptide complex combines Matrixyl 3000's signature peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) in a ready-to-use delivery system. The formulation includes glycerin and butylene glycol as humectants, carbomer for gel structure, and polysorbate 20 for solubilization, creating a stable matrix that enhances peptide penetration and activity. Formulators choose this pre-made complex for its convenience and proven anti-aging efficacy, as it eliminates the need to individually source and stabilize these sensitive peptide actives.
