Matrixyl

Matrixyl (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4) is a synthetic matrikine peptide that stimulates collagen production in the skin. It acts as a signal peptide fragment of type I collagen propeptide, signaling fibroblasts to increase extracellular matrix synthesis. Palmitoyl conjugation enhances skin delivery and stability. Research indicates applications in anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, scarring, and tissue repair.
