fficacy: Applied topically, Pentapeptide-3 operates effectively by inhibiting muscle contractions that lead to the formation of wrinkles. As a result, it reduces the depth and size of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it enhances skin smoothness and gives a rejuvenated look to the skin.
Mechanism of Action: Pentapeptide-3 works by targeting the mechanism that leads to the formation of wrinkles. Its method of action involves the following steps:
Inhibition of muscle contractions: After application, Pentapeptide-3 gets absorbed into the skin where it interferes with the proteins that induce muscle contractions.
Reduction of wrinkle formation: By inhibiting these scheduled contractions, the peptide helps to minimize the formation of wrinkles and expression lines.
Enhancement of skin smoothness: As a result of limited muscle contraction, the skin appears smoother and more supple.
