Abstract:

This study was designed to evaluate the alteration of the new generation cosmetic peptide argireline molecule on some enzyme activities involved in skin aging processes. Tyrosinase, collagenase, elastase and hyaluronidase enzymes are the enzymes that attract attention due to their direct and therapeutic effects in skin aging. High elastase inhibition anti-wrinkle, tyrosinase inhibition whitening effect, collagenase inhibition elasticity and hyaluronidase inhibition anti-inflammation effect. For this reason, the effectiveness of the argireline molecule, which has been used as a trend in cosmetics recently, has been studied. Considering the overall activities tested, the argireline compound was judged to be a promising anti-aging compound.
