Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 is a synthetic bioactive peptide composed of six amino acids with an acetyl group attached to improve stability and skin penetration. It is mainly used in advanced skincare formulations for its skin hydration, barrier-strengthening, and anti-aging properties.
This peptide works by stimulating the expression of Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) in skin cells. Aquaporins are membrane proteins responsible for transporting water and glycerol within the skin, helping maintain optimal hydration. By boosting Aquaporin-3 levels, Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 helps improve skin moisture balance, elasticity, and overall skin vitality.
