Anti-wrinkle effect of an emulsion based on the hexapeptide argireline. Pilot study

Abstract

One of the symptoms of skin aging is the appearance of wrinkles on the face, which have a significant impact on appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life, especially in women. Delaying this process has been the subject of much research for many years. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions based on argireline peptide and inexpensive raw materials available in Iran. Their anti-wrinkle effect was evaluated in twenty women. According to the results obtained, the use of the emulsion contributed to a reduction in wrinkles without causing an allergic reaction. The argireline peptide has anti-aging properties and may be a suitable choice for improving the appearance of the skin. © (2025), (INDYGO Zahir Media). All rights reserved.
