Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 (CAT: I018942), also known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, is a peptide compound commonly used in cosmetic formulations for its potential anti-aging properties. It is derived from a chain of amino acids and consists of palmitic acid (a fatty acid) attached to a tripeptide sequence. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 is believed to stimulate collagen production and promote skin firmness and elasticity. By enhancing the production of collagen, it may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, contributing to a more youthful-looking complexion. This peptide is often incorporated into skincare products aimed at improving skin texture and minimizing the signs of aging.
