Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessPEP MM-634 Care
How Dual-Peptide Action Rebuilds the Dermal Matrix
AccessPEP MM-634 Care employs a scientifically advanced two-pronged strategy to target the skin’s Extracellular Matrix (ECM)—the structural network responsible for firmness, elasticity, and overall resilience.
- Stimulation of ECM Synthesis (Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-6): A biomimetic signal peptide that encourages fibroblasts to increase the production of structural proteins. It specifically upregulates Type I Collagen and Fibronectin, helping to densify and reinforce the dermal matrix.
- Inhibition of ECM Degradation (Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-34): As skin ages, heightened Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) activity accelerates the breakdown of collagen. This peptide works to inhibit MMP-1, protecting existing collagen from enzymatic degradation and helping to prevent sagging and wrinkle formation.
The myristoyl (lipid) attachment enhances the peptides’ ability to penetrate the stratum corneum, improving bioavailability and ensuring they reach their intended cellular targets for maximum efficacy.
Formulation Guidelines
AccessPEP MM-634 Care is a user-friendly aqueous solution that integrates seamlessly into serums, creams, lotions, and gels. Add to the water phase or during the cool-down stage below 40°C (104°F) to preserve peptide integrity. The active is stable between pH 4.0 and 7.0 and is compatible with common anti-aging co-actives such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C derivatives, and antioxidants.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Dual-Action Efficacy: Combines ECM production and protection for comprehensive anti-aging results.
- Enhanced Penetration: Myristoyl lipidation improves transcutaneous delivery and peptide bioavailability.
- Clinically-Inspired Action: Mimics the skin’s natural regenerative signaling to improve firmness, elasticity, and wrinkles.
- Excellent Formulation Compatibility: Easily incorporated into a wide range of water-based systems without compromising stability.
- Targeted Structural Repair: Reinforces collagen and fibronectin networks for a visible lifting and firming effect.
- High-Performance Anti-Aging: Addresses root causes of structural aging by rebuilding and preserving the ECM.
