Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Cys-Gly is a dipeptide composed of cysteine and glycine, known for its involvement in cellular redox homeostasis. Within the skin, Cys-Gly can participate in biochemical pathways related to glutathione metabolism, supporting the modulation of oxidative processes. By engaging in thiol-disulfide exchange reactions, this peptide may influence cellular signaling environments and help maintain the balance of redox-sensitive biomolecules, contributing to overall skin resilience at the molecular level.
Cys-Gly can be incorporated into a variety of cosmetic formulations to enhance product diversity and functionality.
- Suitable for inclusion in serums, creams, and lotions- Compatible with water-based and emulsion systems- Can be added during the cooling phase of formulation- May be combined with other peptides or active ingredients- Appropriate for facial and body care products- Recommended for daily-use cosmetic products
