Function

Matrixyl is a Matrikine.

This Peptide is a widely used cosmetic peptide with evidence of stimulating extracellular matrix synthesis and reducing wrinkle appearance in skin-care formulations48

Mechanism

Matrixyl is a palmitoylated pentapeptide, Pal-Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser (Pal-KTTKS), that acts as a matrikine, signaling to dermal fibroblasts to increase production of collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and other ECM components4858
