- Made using an amino acid complex and palmitic acid
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine Description
Palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine is a synthetic signal peptide that helps support specific collagens and proteins found in skin’s dermal-epidermal junction. It also promotes a smoother, less lined skin texture and firmer-feeling surface.
This peptide is made by combining the palm-derived fatty acid palmitic acid with the amino acids lysine, valine, and threonine along with diaminobutyric acid, which is a complex amino acid in which some of the hydrogen molecules are replaced by amino groups. In essence, Palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine is a complex ingredient!
It is used in blends combined with other peptides, in amounts between 1–3%, which puts each peptide in the range clinical data shows is necessary for visible results. In vivo research has shown the synergy of palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine with supporting peptides is what drives its impressive results.
