How Do SeneGence Peptides Help the Look of Wrinkles?

Quick answer

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in skincare, each chosen for a specific visible job, such as softer-looking lines or smoother, firmer-looking skin. In SeneGence’s finished formulas, the proof is measured on the whole product. In an independent study, GLP Complex™ with SenePlex+® and Exosomes reduced the appearance of deep wrinkles by 23.4% at eight weeks. See the GLP Complex study.

What has the peptide itself been shown to do?

Its maker also studied the peptide on its own. The ingredient’s maker reports 16% average improvement in fine-line and wrinkle appearance at day 28 in a randomized split-temple serum study of Glycerin, Water, Dextran, and Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3. See the Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3 ingredient research.

Which SeneGence peptide product fits the lines I want to soften?

Shop in the Beauty Book, or see NeoTight® Rejuvenating Anti-Wrinkle Serum and Lip Line Corrector. Explore the full SeneGence peptide map, whether peptides work on skin or copper peptides.

Where else does SeneGence use the Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 pair?

At the brow line, BrowSense® Volumizing Brow Gel pairs Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 with Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract to support fuller-, healthier-looking brows; see the BrowSense study results.
