What Exactly Is Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, also known as pal-GHK, is a synthetic peptide compound that mimics a fragment of collagen. It is composed of the amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine, and is palmitoylated to enhance its skin penetration. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, on the other hand, is a peptide designed to reduce skin inflammation and the damage it can cause. Together, they form a complex often referred to as 'Matrixyl 3000', a popular anti-ageing ingredient.

These peptides are small protein fragments that communicate with the skin's cells to trigger the natural production of collagen and other proteins. By mimicking natural regenerative processes, they assist in repairing skin and improving its overall appearance. Their synthetic design allows them to penetrate deeply into the skin, making them exceptionally effective in anti-ageing formulations.

What Happens When Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 Touches Your Skin

Understanding the process helps you get better results at home and in the treatment room.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 works by mimicking the natural degradation products of collagen, effectively signalling the skin to produce more collagen. This stimulation results in improved skin elasticity and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as it helps repair the skin matrix and strengthens its structure.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, meanwhile, addresses inflammation by inhibiting the production of interleukin, a molecule that can exacerbate inflammatory responses. By reducing inflammation, it helps minimise skin damage and supports the skin's ability to repair itself. Together, these peptides work synergistically to rejuvenate the skin, enhance its firmness, and provide a smoother, more youthful complexion.
