Palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 offers promising anti-aging benefits for the skin as it has been developed to stimulate elastin synthesis by promoting the stimulation of collagen production. It stimulates collagen and elastin fibroblasts, as well as develops glycosaminoglycans and fibronectin. The intracellular mechanism refers to the way in which it can reduce the production of proinflammatory mediators (IL1, IL-6, and IL-8) and ultimately slow down the skin matrix’s degradation leading to improved skin aging signals. Consequently, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 is highly valued as a sought-after ingredient in antiaging skincare formulations.
