anti-ageing firms skin

overview

Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, also known as Calmosensine, is a synthetic peptide that functions as a "messenger of tranquility and muscle relaxation" in skincare. It works by stimulating skin nerve cells to release met-enkephalin, an opioid messenger molecule that promotes relaxation and pain relief. This ingredient can instantly decrease skin irritations caused by heat, chemical stinging, or mechanical stresses. It is also claimed to prevent wrinkles and expression lines due to its muscle relaxation properties. Additionally, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is used to stimulate elastin production, helping prevent skin sagging by resisting gravity.

additional info

Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is used as part of a blend with butylene glycol and hydroxyethylcellulose. The soothing effect of Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester offsets stinging and burning sensations on the skin. It is a good option to pair with bio-active ingredients that can be more sensitizing for some people. Recommended usage levels of this peptide range from 3–4%; however, since the peptide portion itself is part of a blend, the actual amount of peptide needed to gain benefit is much lower, in the parts per million level. It is considered safe as used in cosmetics.
