TEGO Pep 4-17 is a novel bioactive and pure tetrapeptide with anti-ageing properties based on the skins own structures . It activates collagen production and therefore stimulates dermal filling, repair and the natural renewal mechanisms of the skin.

Formulations with TEGO Pep 417 lead to an increased elasticity and a decreased volume of wrinkles and fine lines. Those formulations containing 100 ppm about 5 Tetratrapeptide21 showed a 25% improvement in skin roughness and depth (decrease)  of fine and coarse wrinkles.

It is an ideal active ingredient to prevent and minimize the appearance of skin aging based on its collagen boosting activity, outperforming the current market standard Matrixyl preservative free peptide solution.
