What Is Hexapeptide-9?
Hexapeptide-9 is a six-amino-acid peptide that supports skin repair and regeneration processes. It signals cells to enhance production of key proteins involved in maintaining skin structure and integrity.
This peptide is used in formulations targeting multiple signs of ageing, helping to improve skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance through its cell-signalling mechanisms.
