What is Pentapeptide-4?
Pentapeptide-4, also known as Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (formerly Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3), is a synthetic peptide derived from pro-collagen I with the amino acid sequence lysine-threonine-threonine-lysine-serine (KTTKS). This peptide is a key component in the Matrixyl™ family of peptides, including Matrixyl™ 3000, Matrixyl™ synthe’6™, and Matrixyl® Morphomics™. It is designed to stimulate the production of dermal matrix components, including collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are essential for maintaining youthful skin.
Collagen and ECM Stimulation:
Pal-KTTKS (the palmitoyl derivative of KTTKS) stimulates collagen synthesis and the production of other extracellular matrix (ECM) components by fibroblasts, promoting skin firmness and elasticity.
Enhanced Delivery and Stability:
The addition of a palmitoyl group makes the peptide more lipophilic, improving its stability and ability to penetrate the skin for maximum effectiveness.
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Regulation:
It inhibits excess production of dermal GAGs, which can accumulate with aging and cause skin to lose its elasticity and firmness.
Epidermal Thickening:
Pal-KTTKS induces epidermal thickening, reinforcing the skin barrier and improving its texture.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties:
Unlike retinol, Matrixyl™ peptides provide anti-aging benefits without causing irritation, redness, or barrier damage, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
Pentapeptide-4 is widely used in:
Pentapeptide-4 is a well-researched, clinically proven ingredient for reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture and firmness. Its unique combination of effectiveness and gentleness makes it an ideal choice for advanced anti-aging skincare formulations.
