What Is Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12?
Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 is a four-amino-acid peptide modified with myristic acid to enhance skin penetration. It targets the dermal matrix to support collagen and elastin production, helping maintain skin structure and firmness.
The lipid modification allows this peptide to efficiently cross the skin barrier and reach target cells, making it an effective component in anti-ageing formulations focused on structural improvement.
