Formiself
Maintenance of skin cell shape with fragment of cofilin
Heptapeptide Formiself improves the actin cytoskeleton and ensures mechanical stability of the cells and maintain their integrity in the skin.
- improves elasticity by increasing collagen production
- prevents sagging of the skin and improves skin texture
- improves skin barrier function by fighting against UV radiation and ROS
