Overview
This synthetic peptide is specifically engineered to combat inflammation. By effectively downregulating the production of key inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6), Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 helps mitigate inflammation-related skin damage and aging. Its anti-inflammatory action extends to reducing melanin production. By reducing inflammation, a trigger of pigment production, it aids in normalizing pigment production and addressing hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Skin benefits
Has anti-inflammatory properties
What research has shown
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (Sequence: Pal-Gly-Gln-Pro-Arg or Pal-GQPR) is a fragment of immunoglobulin G that reduces interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion in keratinocytes and inhibits the UVB radiation-exposure inflammatory response of skin.
