Tripeptide-29
Skin & Hairaka Gly-Pro-Hyp · Collagen-tripeptide GPH · Tripeptide-29 cosmetic active
Overview
Tripeptide-29 is a collagen-like Gly-Pro-Hyp tripeptide used in cosmetic anti-wrinkle and firmness products. The direct mechanistic evidence base is thin — claims rest on the collagen-mimetic motif and related collagen-tripeptide biology rather than human studies of the molecule itself.
Mechanism
Tripeptide-29's proposed mechanism is collagen signaling based on its collagen-mimetic Gly-Pro-Hyp motif and related collagen-tripeptide biology. Direct human mechanistic confirmation for topical Tripeptide-29 itself is limited. A Korean study discussed anti-wrinkle effects for a palmitoylated derivative, and supplier technical literature describes Tripeptide-29 as an anti-wrinkle and tightening active.
