Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (Pal-GHK) is a lipopeptide that stimulates collagen production. It's one of two peptides in the Matrixyl 3000 complex, working synergistically with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.

Mechanism of Action

Mimics the skin's own mechanism for producing collagen by acting as a messenger peptide that signals fibroblasts to produce more collagen and other extracellular matrix components.

Typical Dosage (Research)

Topical: Typically 2-4% in serums, often combined with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 as Matrixyl 3000.

Topical application 1-2 times daily. The palmitoyl group enhances skin penetration compared to non-lipidated versions.

Side Effects & Risks

Very well-tolerated. Suitable for most skin types including sensitive skin.

Results take 8-12 weeks of consistent use. Efficacy varies between individuals.

Who Uses Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Those seeking collagen stimulation, anti-aging skincare users, individuals with mature or sun-damaged skin.
