Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, also known as palmitoyl oligopeptide (trade-named Matrixyl™ 3000 - yes, these names get confusing!) is a synthetic fatty acid-linked peptide that can help repair visible skin damage and strengthen skin’s underlying supportive elements.
It’s categorized as a messenger peptide because of its ability to “tell” skin how to look better, specifically in regard to visibly fading signs of sun damage like wrinkles and rough texture.
Can be used with retinol or tretinoin for even greater anti-aging benefits.
