Rh-Polypeptide-11
What is Rh-Polypeptide-11?
Rh-Polypeptide-11 is a synthetic peptide that mimics the human fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1), a naturally occurring protein involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue repair. In skincare, it stimulates fibroblast activity to boost collagen and elastin production, promoting skin firmness and reducing signs of aging. It is typically produced via biotechnology to ensure purity and consistency for topical use.
