Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 (formerly Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-6; sequence Pal-Phe-Ala-Leu-Leu-Lys-Leu-NH2) is a short bioactive peptide with a lipid delivery system for deeper penetration into the skin. It is an anti-aging lipo-peptide that stimulates the proliferation of dermal fibroblast cells, boosting collagen production.

In addition, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 inhibits MMPs that degrade collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It rebuilds the skin's extracellular matrix (ECM), improving elasticity and water retention ability.

Maximizing the skin's regenerative ability, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 fights dull, dry skin, revealing a healthy, supple, youthful appearance.
