HYDROXYPROLINE

This is a peptide sourced from natural proteins and mimics the endogenous collagen forming amino acid version hydroxyproline. The collagen in the dermis is triple-helical structure of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. Hydroxyproline helps to support the extracellular space of connective tissues in the skin. 

Uses: 

• Plumps skin
