About
An N-acetylated three-amino-acid peptide used as a skin-conditioning agent. Acetylation improves stability; independent safety/efficacy data is limited.
Acetyl Tripeptide-72 is a three-residue peptide capped with an N-terminal acetyl group, formulated for cosmetic skin-conditioning use. Acetylation typically improves resistance to aminopeptidase degradation, allowing slightly longer skin-surface residence. Used at parts-per-million levels in serums and creams; the small size and trace use give the class a generally low-irritation profile. No independent CIR or SCCS review of this specific INCI is available; efficacy claims rely on supplier studies. Listed in EU CosIng. Conservative tier: yellow with low evidence.
