What is Pentapeptide-3?

     Pentapeptide-3 is a synthetic peptide that can inhibit muscle contractions as competitive                 antagonist at the muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

    Pentapeptide-3 is a topical alternative to muscle relaxing injections. It's an intensive anti-              wrinkle care, especially for the fighting against expression lines.

   The function of  Pentapeptide-3

    Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 was discovered through two branches of dermatological research: the      search for substances that accelerate healing skin wounds and the study of what causes                wrinkles.

    Similarly to copper peptides, Matrixyl stimulates the lower layers of the skin to heal themselves,      thus accelerating the healing of wounds. Cells called fibroblasts are responsible for knitting            together wounds of the skin.

    Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 stimulates the "matrix" layers in the skin -- primarily collagen and            fibronectin. When stimulated, the skin produces more collagen. Loss of collagen is what leads        to thinning skin and the wrinkling of newly inelastic skin. Matrixyl helps to counteract this              natural part of the aging process.
