Descriptions
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (GQPR) is a synthetic peptide and signaling molecule used in cosmetics to increase skin firmness and collagen production. It's the major one of the two peptides in the Matrixyl 3000 duo. In the past, it was also called Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3.
Palmioty tetrapeptide-7 is a lipopeptide designed to mimic DHEA activity and restore cytokine balance to mature skin. The lipo-tetrapeptide with sequence Pal-GQPR, a fragment of immunoglobulin G, is sometimes referred to as the "youth hormone molecule."
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 reduces Interleukin-6 (IL-6) production by the critical cells keratinocytes and fibroblasts in the skin. Interleukin-6 is a mediator of inflammation that leads to more rapid degradation of the extracellular matrix components, promoting wrinkles formation and lessening the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
By reducing IL-6 and other pro-inflammatory agents, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 protects extracellular matrix components from degradation, preserving skin's natural youthfulness and boosting its replenishment. It also soothes the skin and reduces inflammation-caused pigmentation.
Active peptides are signal (messager molecules) ingredients that work at the molecular level. That means you only need a small amount for them to perform well. Combining with palmitoyl tripeptide-5 theoretically works better than Matrixyl 3000 at the recommended usage rate.
While liquid peptides are fragile and have a shorter shelf life, the powder form is much easier to store and maintain efficacy. This ease of use and maintenance is the primary reason we recommend the powder form of peptides, providing you with a comfortable and confident experience.
The only downside of the powder peptide is weighing them. That is the reason we pack them in small quantities.
