What is Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine?
Palmitoyl Dipeptide-5 Diaminobutyroyl Hydroxythreonine is a synthetic peptide designed to mimic the muscle-relaxing effects of Waglerin-1, a peptide from temple viper venom, by inhibiting muscle contractions. It is commonly used in anti-aging skincare products to reduce the appearance of expression wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and forehead. The palmitoyl group enhances its lipophilicity, improving skin penetration and delivery.
