What it is
Synthetic tetrapeptide designed to stimulate epidermal renewal by activating syndecan receptors on keratinocytes; in vitro work suggests upregulation of integrin α6β4, laminin-5, and collagen XVII supporting basement membrane integrity; proposed mechanism involves acceleration of the skin cell turnover cycle; combines well with peptides targeting dermal collagen synthesis for a full-depth approach to texture refinement.
Where it sits
Serums sit after toner and before moisturiser. Thinnest to thickest, water before oil.
