Hexapeptide-9

Basic Description

​​​​​​​​​​Structure and function ​:
Hexapeptide-9 is a synthetic hexapeptide with the sequence ​Val-Gly-Val-Ala-Pro-Gly (VGVAPG)​ , which works through the following mechanisms:
1. ​​Promote collagen synthesis​ ​：Activate fibroblasts, stimulate ​Collagen Type I and ​Elastin​ Generates and improves skin firmness and elasticity.
2. ​​Anti-inflammatory repair ​：Inhibit the release of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNF-α), relieve skin sensitivity and photoaging damage.
3. ​​Barrier repair​ ​：Enhance epidermal lipid synthesis and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

​ ​Application Areas​ ​:
• ​​Cosmetics ​: Anti-aging essence, repair cream, eye cream.
• ​In vitro studies ​：Research on skin elasticity regulation model and photoaging repair mechanism.
