Acetyl hexapeptide-1
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Acetyl hexapeptide-1 (Melitane) is a biomimetic peptide that mimics the activity of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Acetyl hexapeptide-1 regulates muscle contraction, thereby reducing facial expression lines. Acetyl hexapeptide-1 is one of the components of anti-aging skincare serums targeting dynamic wrinkles. Acetyl hexapeptide-1 can be used in research related to mild photoaged facial skin and premature gray hair.

Biological Activity
Acetyl hexapeptide-1 acts directly on melanocytes in hair follicles to promote hair repigmentation. In skin care products, it is used to induce healthy skin pigmentation, helping to improve uneven skin tone and local paleness. Acetyl hexapeptide-1 also reduces skin erythema and inflammatory responses, and helps repair UV-induced DNA damage, making the skin appear healthier[1][2].
