Consists of a short chain of 4 amino acids (GQPR) connected to palmitic acid
Works by reducing the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) by the key skin cells, keratinocytes and fibroblastss
IL-6 is a molecule that promotes inflammation, which, in turn, leads to a faster degradation of the skin matrix and thus contributes to the development of wrinkles and loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin.
By reducing IL-6 levels, this peptide delays degradation of the skin matrix and can also stimulate its replenishment.
Amino acid sequence: Pal - Gly - Gln - Pro - Arg - OH
