Hexapeptide-33 is a biologically active peptide that has been reported for use in cosmetics due to its multifaceted benefits for the skin. It is known to stimulate blood vessel formation and is developed under the trade name W3 peptide by Novacell Technology. This peptide consists of the amino acids arginine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, serine, and tyrosine. It has been proven to have skin whitening effects, contribute to wound healing, reduce wrinkles, promote cell migration, and stimulate collagen synthesis while inhibiting melanin synthesis. Hexapeptide-33 also acts as an antioxidant, directly inhibiting tyrosinase during melanin biosynthesis, which reduces the synthesis of melanin and inhibits the activity of tyrosinase in melanoma B16 cells. It is used in skincare for its whitening properties, induced angiogenesis in human endothelial cells, and accelerated wound healing. It also promotes hair growth and eyelash growth.
