Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5Active
A synthetic lipidated tripeptide (KVK with a palmitic-acid tail) supplied as a signal peptide for collagen-related pathways.
What it does
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a synthetic peptide — a lysine-valine-lysine tripeptide with a palmitic-acid tail that helps the molecule cross the outermost skin layers. The peptide-house literature positions it as a signal peptide that mimics a TGF-β fragment and engages collagen-synthesis pathways in dermal fibroblasts. In a formula it is included for that proposed mechanism. The end-point clinical evidence base is dominated by supplier-funded studies and multi-component creams; independent topical RCTs isolating this peptide are sparse.
