Product Introduction:
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is a biomimetic peptide derived from the youth hormone, thymopoietin. It compensates the natural loss of thymic factors related to the decline of the thymus with age. It increases the skin immuno-vigilance and helps it regenerates. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is an ideal ingredient to improve skin firmness by enhancing the natural elements that manage to maintain these properties in the skin, including elastin and collagen. Thus, it can be incorporated in firming and anti-aging formulations for both facial and body care, where skin cohesion and resilience wants to be increased to minimize sagginess and flaccidity. More over, it would be also useful to add in slimming formulations to avoid flaccidity after losing weight.

What are Peptides for Skin Care?
Science has proven that peptides can help manage wrinkles in your skin and reverse the signs of aging. Human skin is comprised mostly of collagen. Collagen is a protein comprised of long segments of amino acids arranged like a chain. Collagen provides a foundation and thickness for skin. Women under 30 have ample collagen, which results in smooth, tight skin. The rest of us have less collagen - skin tends to be thinner, revealing more wrinkles. When collagen breaks down, short segments of amino acids are formed. These are the tiny proteins and active molecules known as peptides. Peptides in skin care can provide significant anti-aging benefits.
