THE WRINKLE ERASER
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Pal-KTTKS)
Matrixyl is a cosmetic peptide that mimics the fragments your skin produces when collagen breaks down. These "matrikine" signals tell your skin cells (fibroblasts) to produce more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. It's one of the most clinically-studied anti-wrinkle peptides and is found in many premium skincare products.
