Substance Overview and History

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 is a synthetic peptide recognized for its anti-aging properties. Derived as a collagen fragment, it stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles. Previously referred to as palmitoyl oligopeptide, it was renamed in 2013 to clarify its molecular structure. Known for high potency at low concentrations, it penetrates the stratum corneum and interacts effectively with skin cells. While widely used in anti-aging products, more robust clinical studies are needed to validate its role in sensitive skin care.
