What is Tripeptide-1?

This ingredient, found in the famous Matrixyl 3000 and Copper Tripeptide-1 matrices, can deliver extremely impressive skin results. It is able to repair tissue damage caused by the disruption of collagen production due to aging and is also suitable for people with acne-prone skin types. This damage is often seen as uneven skin texture, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and the skin starts to sag. This is often caused by the face being exposed to various factors, such as genetic factors, hormonal changes, pollution, UV rays, and other environmental skin stressors. Tripeptide-1 works well alone or in combination with a matrix or other skin care formula.

Side Effects of Tripeptide-1

If your skin is in good condition, there is no need to include this ingredient in your daily skin care routine.
