Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3
Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3
Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3 is a synthetic peptide used in skincare to help support the skin's extracellular matrix, including proteins such as collagen, laminin, and fibronectin that contribute to skin firmness and structure. It is primarily included in anti-ageing formulations to improve the appearance of skin elasticity, firmness, and fine lines over time. It works by encouraging the skin's natural repair processes rather than providing immediate cosmetic effects and is commonly found in serums and moisturisers designed for mature skin.
