Pentapeptide-18

Pentapeptide-18 is a synthetic pentapeptide that has attracted attention in the cosmetic field. It is regarded as a gentle, non-invasive botox-like ingredient with its unique mechanism of action and significant anti-wrinkle effects.

Pentapeptide-18 is a neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide, commonly referred to as a 'neuropeptide. By reducing muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles at the source, pentapeptide-18 can effectively smooth and prevent the formation of expression lines.

Studies have shown that pentapeptide-18 alone can significantly reduce wrinkle depth, particularly in the eye and forehead areas.

Synergistic effect:

When combined with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 , the two peptides can produce a strong synergistic effect. They act on different steps of muscle contraction, and their combined use can reduce wrinkle depth by nearly 50%, far exceeding the effect of using either one alone.

Improving skin texture:

Besides anti-wrinkle effects, pentapeptide-18 has moisturizing benefits and can improve skin firmness.

Brightening skin tone:

Research indicates that Pentapeptide-18 can also help lighten dark spots and other uneven skin tone issues.

Commanded Concentration: 0.05%-0.10%

Good Partner:

Strongly recommended to be mix used with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 to achieve the best effect in reducing dynamic wrinkles.

Applicable Product Types:

Pentapeptide-18 is suitable for various anti-aging skincare products, especially serums, eye creams, face creams, and masks targeting areas with frequent expression lines ,particularly around the eyes and forehead.
