Oligopeptide-1

Oligopeptide-1 has an identical chemical structure as an epidermal growth factor and has been shown to increase the rate of healing and renewal of the skin, as well as slow down the thinning of aging skin, thus minimizing wrinkles. Growth factors are proteins that stimulate cell growth and cell function. They cause the cells to divide, grow and produce proteins such as collagen, the basic building block of the skin. With increased collagen production, the skin becomes thicker and wrinkles smaller.
