What it is
Anti-inflammatory dipeptide targeting calming of environmentally stressed skin; mechanistic studies in supplier dossiers suggest modulation of prostaglandin E2 synthesis via COX-2 pathway inhibition in stimulated keratinocytes; complements dipeptide-7 in calming-focused formulations; water-soluble and compatible with standard aqueous systems; low molecular weight allows diffusion through hydrophilic transdermal pathways.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
