AccessPEP PTP-7

Advanced Anti-Glycation Peptide for Skin Repair and Firmness

INCI Name: Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

AccessPEP PTP-7 is powered by Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, a targeted peptide that helps protect the skin’s structural proteins from glycation-related damage while moderating pro-inflammatory signals (e.g., IL-6). This dual-action approach supports wrinkle reduction, firmer-looking skin, and improved elasticity, making it a versatile choice for advanced anti-aging and skin-repair formulations across serums, creams, and eye treatments.

Solubility Notes:

Water-soluble. Add to the water phase or during the cool-down stage below 45°C (113°F). Stable in typical cosmetic pH ranges (4.0–7.0).

Anti-Aging Face Serums

Targets glycation and inflammation to visibly improve smoothness, firmness, and overall skin quality in lightweight, fast-absorbing formats.
Firming & Lifting Creams

Helps preserve collagen and elastin integrity for improved tone, bounce, and a more lifted appearance.
Skin Repair & Recovery Treatments

Supports a balanced, calmer environment to aid recovery in stressed or mature skin while enhancing resilience.
Eye Creams & Gels

Gently improves the look of fine lines and firmness in the delicate periorbital area.
Body Firming Lotions

Enhances elasticity and tone on areas prone to laxity, such as neck, décolletage, and arms.

Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessPEP PTP-7

How Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 Works

AccessPEP PTP-7 features Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, a bioactive peptide designed to address two key drivers of premature aging: glycation and chronic, low-grade inflammation. Glycation occurs when sugars bind to structural proteins like collagen and elastin, forming Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) that stiffen and weaken the dermal matrix. By helping to inhibit glycation-associated damage, this peptide supports the preservation of collagen and elastin integrity for smoother, more elastic skin.

In parallel, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is known to down-regulate pro-inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). By tempering the skin’s inflammatory cascade, it helps reduce matrix degradation and supports a healthier environment for repair and resilience. The result is visible wrinkle reduction, improved firmness, and enhanced skin comfort over time.

Formulation Guidelines

AccessPEP PTP-7 is water-soluble and can be incorporated into the aqueous phase of emulsions, gels, and serums. For optimal stability, add during the cool-down phase below 45°C (113°F). It is generally compatible with a skin-friendly pH range of 4.0–7.0 and pairs well with humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid, glycerin), antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C derivatives), niacinamide, and complementary peptides such as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 in firming and anti-wrinkle systems.

Key Formulation Benefits

Anti-Glycation Defense: Helps limit AGE-related stiffening of collagen and elastin to preserve skin elasticity.
Anti-Inflammatory Support: Helps reduce IL-6–associated signaling to minimize matrix degradation and discomfort.
Wrinkle Reduction: Visibly softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with consistent use.
Firmness & Elasticity: Supports a stronger, more resilient dermal matrix for improved tone and bounce.
Skin Repair & Comfort: Encourages a balanced environment that supports recovery in stressed or mature skin.
Formulation-Friendly: Water-soluble, broad pH compatibility, and easy to integrate into serums, creams, and lotions.
