Here’s a breakdown of the wrinkle-reduction properties of five important peptides:

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 : This popular peptide mimics the effects of Botox by relaxing facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles. It may help reduce the appearance of expression lines, particularly around the eyes.

Copper Tripeptide-1 : This peptide stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan production, which plumps and strengthens the skin, reducing wrinkles. It may also promote wound healing and improve skin texture.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 : This peptide acts as a messenger, signaling to the skin to increase collagen production. This can lead to firmer skin with fewer wrinkles, especially fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 : Similar to Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, this peptide stimulates collagen production and may also help with elastin synthesis, further improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.

Hexapeptide-11 : Another Botox-like peptide, Hexapeptide-11 works to relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of expression wrinkles. It may be a gentler alternative to Argireline.
