What it is
Myristoylated (C14 fatty acid) form of tripeptide-5 that improves skin penetration through the stratum corneum lipid matrix; the lipid tail tethers the signal peptide within the lipid-rich intercellular space, increasing residence time near fibroblasts; targets collagen I and fibronectin synthesis pathways; formulation benefit over unmodified tripeptide-5 is better substantivity in rinse-off contexts.
