Also Known As
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 · Pal-KTTKS · Matrikine
Overview
Matrixyl is a palmitoylated pentapeptide that stimulates collagen synthesis. The palmitic acid chain improves skin penetration. Mimics natural matrikines that signal for collagen production.
Mechanism of Action
Matrikine peptide - mimics collagen fragments that signal fibroblasts to produce new collagen. Palmitic acid conjugation enhances lipid membrane penetration.
