Pal-tetrapeptide-3/7, also known as Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, serves as a sophisticated skincare solution aimed at mimicking the activity of DHEA, thereby contributing to the restoration of cytokine equilibrium in aging skin. As a lipopeptide developed by Sederma, it encompasses the sequence Pal-GQPR, derived from immunoglobulin G, often dubbed the "youth hormone molecule." With aging, natural levels of DHEA diminish, leading to an increase in interleukin-6. By addressing this imbalance, Pal-tetrapeptide-3/7 aids in enhancing youthful skin appearance by managing both basal and UV-induced interleukin-6 secretions in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, functioning similarly to DHEA.
What is Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and how does it benefit the skin?
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is a peptide compound used in skincare products to help maintain the skin's youthful appearance. It works by reducing the production of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in critical skin cells such as keratinocytes and fibroblasts. IL-6 is a significant inflammatory mediator that can cause quicker degradation of extracellular matrix components, leading to the formation of wrinkles and decreased skin firmness and elasticity. By lowering IL-6 and other pro-inflammatory agents, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 helps protect these extracellular components from degradation, thus preserving the skin's natural youthfulness and supporting its replenishment.
