Researched for: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 evidence and protocol review
Also known as: Syn-Coll
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a registered cosmetic ingredient (INCI-listed) marketed for supporting collagen synthesis, sharing the general palmitoylated-signal-peptide mechanism concept with the better-documented Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, which has a published 12-week RCT). Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5's own independent clinical evidence base is smaller than Matrixyl's.
