Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a synthetic peptide that mimics a fragment of collagen, a key protein for skin structure. It signals the skin to produce more collagen, which can help improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This peptide is often used in anti-aging formulations to support skin's natural repair processes.
