Low Molecular Weight Peptides

The low molecular weight peptides, including Dipeptide-2, Tripeptide-1 (GHK), Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, use advanced peptide engineering techniques. These peptides range from 2 to 50 amino acids and are designed for high skin compatibility and efficacy. Their small molecular size helps them rapidly absorb into the skin, offering strong activity even at low concentrations. Biotechnological processes ensure the peptides are highly pure and stable, maintaining their bioactivity and human compatibility.
