What Is Acetylarginyltryptophyl Diphenylglycine?

Acetylarginyltryptophyl diphenylglycine is a synthetically made tetrapeptide that’s created when acetic acid reacts with the amino acids arginine, phenylglycine and tryptophan. It’s an anti-ageing signaling peptide that’s said to help inhibit skin surface enzymes that break down proteins, like collagen.

That’s how this tetrapeptide promotes a youthful, firmer look.
