What It Does
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a synthetic peptide consisting of glycine-histidine-lysine (GHK) attached to palmitic acid for enhanced skin penetration. This matrikine-mimetic peptide is designed to signal fibroblasts to increase collagen and glycosaminoglycan production, making it a popular anti-aging active in premium skincare formulations. Formulators choose it for its ability to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines, typically used at concentrations of 2-4% in serums and creams targeting mature skin.
