Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is a promising ingredient in the fight against hair loss.  Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is a biomimetic peptide made up of 4 main amino acids that help to stimulate the dermal papilla extracellular matrix proteins which in turn has a direct effect on the structures surrounding hair follicles.

According to the manufacturer’s lab studies, the expression of type III collagen increased by 65% and the expression of laminins (anchoring proteins found in the ECM) was up a massive 285%, resulting in a stronger ECM bed for hair anchoring.
