Topical Anti-ageing Peptide for Skin Regeneration

Description

AHK (Tripeptide-3) 200mg is a cosmetic peptide active used in advanced anti-ageing skincare formulations. AHK is a short tripeptide (Ala–His–Lys) known for its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, support tissue regeneration and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. When incorporated into topical products such as serums, creams or masks, it targets skin firmness, texture and overall rejuvenation at a cellular level. Offered at a 200 mg strength, this peptide is suitable for formulators, skincare professionals and experienced consumers seeking a high-performance ingredient to support smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Storage Conditions

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
