A synthetic peptide complex designed to target wrinkles and support skin matrix proteins — the kind of high-tech anti-ager found in advanced skincare lines.
Cyclotetrapeptide-24 Aminopiperidine Carboxylate HCl is a synthetic peptide composed of four amino acids cyclized into a ring structure, conjugated to an aminopiperidine carboxylate moiety and neutralized with HCl. Peptides of this type are designed to mimic matrikines — signaling peptides that regulate extracellular matrix remodeling. The cyclized structure provides metabolic stability, extending its activity at the skin surface. It is used in anti-aging formulations targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and skin firmness. The HCl salt is standard for peptide stability but can cause mild stinging in sensitive individuals at high concentrations.
Skin benefits
- Targets fine lines and wrinkles
- Supports skin matrix collagen
- Improves skin firmness and elasticity
Known concerns
- May cause mild stinging or irritation in sensitive skin at high concentrations
- HCl salt may slightly lower formulation pH
