Mechanism of Action
Combines Pal-GHK (collagen synthesis) with Pal-GQPR (anti-inflammatory). The dual action stimulates new collagen production while reducing inflammation that accelerates aging. Works synergistically with better results than either peptide alone.
Research Summary
Studies show superior wrinkle reduction compared to original Matrixyl. Research demonstrates reduced inflammatory markers along with increased collagen. Clinical trials show improvement in skin firmness and elasticity.
