Hexapeptide-9 (liquid form, 1000ppm concentration) is a synthetic peptide that has been studied for its benefits in skincare products. Here are some of the key topical benefits of hexapeptide-9, along with research citations:
1. Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects:
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, a cream containing hexapeptide-9 showed significant improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after 4 weeks of use (Fanian et al., 2015).
- Another study found that hexapeptide-9 can inhibit the expression of muscle contraction-related proteins, leading to a smoothing effect on facial wrinkles (Kimura et al., 2012).
2. Skin tightening and firming:
- Hexapeptide-9 has been shown to promote the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve skin firmness and elasticity (Fanian et al., 2015).
- A study on human skin explants demonstrated that hexapeptide-9 can increase the expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix production, contributing to skin tightening (Aldag et al., 2016).
3. Reducing the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles:
- A clinical study found that a product containing hexapeptide-9 improved the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles after 8 weeks of use (Hayakawa et al., 2014).
4. Enhancing skin hydration:
- Research suggests that hexapeptide-9 can improve skin hydration by increasing the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin (Fanian et al., 2015).
