View all →What Is Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12?
Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is a six-amino-acid peptide modified with palmitic acid for improved skin penetration. This lipophilic modification allows the peptide to pass through the skin barrier more effectively to reach target cells.
The hexapeptide structure provides signalling benefits that support the skin's natural collagen and elastin production, contributing to improved firmness and reduced visible signs of ageing.
