Tripeptide-1 and Tripeptide-5

What is it

What are Tripeptide-1 and Tripeptide-5?

Tripeptide-1 and Tripeptide-5 are short-chain peptides that mimic matrikines - the natural signaling fragments produced when collagen and extracellular matrix proteins break down. When fibroblasts detect these fragments, they interpret them as a signal that structural repair is needed, ramping up production of collagen, fibronectin, hyaluronic acid, and laminin. These peptides essentially tell the skin to behave as if it needs to repair itself - triggering the same restorative pathways the skin uses to heal.
