Ingredient name
Acetyl tetrapeptide-11
INCI Name
ACETYL TETRAPEPTIDE-11
Acetyl tetrapeptide-11 is one of the stimulating peptides in the form of a water-soluble white powder. Peptides are proteins with very short amino acid chains. They are identical to natural substances produced in the human body.
Peptides have the ability to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and give skin cells various commands: regenerate faster, slow down the ageing process, stop hyperpigmentation, etc.
Acetyl tetrapeptide-11 in particular is designed to solve mature skin problems. It reestablishes the weakening connection between the dermis and outermost skin layer through stimulating the synthesis of type XVII collagen and syndecan, which improves skin appearance.

Scientific evidence
[1] It has been scientifically proven that acetyl tetrapeptide-11 increases keratinocytes and syndecan synthesis, having a significant impact on the biomechanical parameters of the epidermis surface layers.
