What is it?

Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 — a lipidated peptide, where the fatty acid "tail" (myristic acid) increases the molecule's affinity for the skin's lipid layer, facilitating the penetration of the hexapeptide sequence. Mechanism: due to improved penetration, the peptide can more effectively reach the dermal layer cells and signal to support structural processes, theoretically contributing to improved skin tone and reduced visibility of wrinkles.

Anti-aging serums and creams, formulas to support mature skin tone.

Key Benefits

✦
Improved penetration due to lipidation
Myristic acid, connected to the hexapeptide sequence, increases the affinity of myristoyl hexapeptide-16 for the skin's lipid layer, theoretically facilitating the penetration of the active peptide.
◈
Support for skin tone
The hexapeptide part of the molecule theoretically signals dermal layer cells to support structural processes, contributing to improved skin tone.
✧
Reduction of wrinkle visibility
Regular use of myristoyl hexapeptide-16 may theoretically contribute to reducing the visibility of expression wrinkles due to improved delivery of the peptide signal.

Suitable for

mature skinskin with expression wrinkles
