Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8 Deep Wrinkle Reduction & Firming Facial Treatment
01
Product Description
1. MOA
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8 is a biomimetic lipopeptide engineered to target and improve the appearance of specific, deep-set wrinkles by mimicking the body's natural wound-healing and tissue-remodeling processes.
Targeted Wrinkle Remediation:
The peptide sequence is designed to mimic specific protein fragments (e.g., from Osteoglycin) that are naturally released during tissue repair.
It signals dermal fibroblasts to initiate a localized "re-modeling" process in areas of pronounced wrinkles, promoting the organized deposition of new Collagen I, III, and Elastin.
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Restoration:
By stimulating fibroblasts, it specifically increases the synthesis of key structural components within the dermis, filling in wrinkles from below the skin's surface and restoring skin density and firmness.
Enhanced Delivery: The attached myristoyl (C14) lipid chain enhances the peptide's stability and skin penetration, ensuring it effectively reaches its target sites within the dermis to exert its action.
2. In Vitro Efficacy Data
2. In Vitro Efficacy Data
In-vitro studies on human dermal fibroblasts confirm its targeted bio-activity.
Gene Expression Analysis (PCR): Demonstrates a significant upregulation of genes encoding for Collagen I, III, and Elastin.
Collagen Protein Synthesis Assay: A marked, dose-dependent increase in the production of Collagen I protein is observed, confirming its potent ECM-stimulating capabilities.
Fibroblast Metabolic Activity: Shows an increase in fibroblast proliferation and metabolic activity, indicating a revitalizing effect on the key cells responsible for skin structure.
3. Clinical Results
3. Clinical Results
Clinical studies with formulations containing 2-5% Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8 demonstrate significant improvements in the appearance of deep wrinkles.
Study Design: 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with female volunteers aged 45-60, applying a serum with 4% Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8 twice daily.
Instrumental Results:
Profilometry (Skin Replicas): A statistically significant reduction in the average depth and volume of deep wrinkles (e.g., nasolabial folds) was measured.
Cutometry: A significant improvement in skin elasticity and firmness parameters was recorded.
Visual & Photographic Assessment:
Clinical Grading: Expert graders noted a visible reduction in the severity and prominence of deep wrinkles and an overall improvement in skin smoothness.
Subject Self-Assessment: Over 80% of participants reported that their skin felt firmer, looked smoother, and that deep lines appeared less noticeable.
Excellent Tolerance: The ingredient was very well-tolerated, with no reports of irritation, making it suitable for long-term use on all skin types.
Safety Profile
It is non-irritating, non-cytotoxic, and highly safe for topical application.
PH Compatibility
Effective in a wide pH range, ideally between 5.0 and 7.0, compatible with most cosmetic formulations.
Formulation Compatibility
Synergistic with: Other anti-aging actives like Hyaluronic Acid (for surface hydration and plumping), Niacinamide (for barrier support and brightness), and Antioxidants (Vitamin C/E) (for environmental protection).
Compatible with: A wide range of emulsifiers, thickeners, and preservatives. It is stable in aqueous solutions and oil-in-water emulsions. Incorporation: Recommended to incorporate into the water phase at low to moderate temperatures (<40°C) with gentle stirring to ensure complete dissolution and preserve peptide integrity.
