Topical composition for stimulating hyaluronic acid production in skin
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230277429A1) describes a topical composition that aims to restore or improve the appearance of aging skin. The composition includes an octapeptide and a hexapeptide, which work together to stimulate hyaluronic acid synthesis, increase HAS2 expression, reduce HYAL2 expression, or increase EGR3 expression.
In addition to the octapeptide and hexapeptide, the composition may also contain a synthetic tripeptide, specifically tetradecyl-diaminobutyroylvalyldiaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate. The octapeptide can have various amino acid sequences, including GDGDGASA, GPMGPSGP, GLGPGARA, GPQGFQGP, GPHGVREA, GPMGPRGP, GPGKNGDD, or GPMGPRGP. The octapeptide and hexapeptide can be encapsulated in liposomes for enhanced delivery.
The composition may further include lactoferrin, phosphatidylserine, Tremella fuciformis extract, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, hydroxymethoxyphenyl decanone, or a combination of these ingredients. Lactoferrin and phosphatidylserine can also be encapsulated in liposomes.
The patent also describes a method for using the topical composition to restore or improve the appearance of aging skin. The method involves administering the composition, which includes the octapeptide and hexapeptide, to stimulate hyaluronic acid production, increase HAS2 expression, reduce HYAL2 expression, or increase EGR3 expression. The composition may also include the synthetic tripeptide and can be encapsulated in liposomes.
The method can be used to improve various aspects of the skin, including hydration, the appearance of age spots, white pseudoscars, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. It can also stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of about 2 MDa or greater. The administration of the composition can be done prior to, during, or following the injection of a filler.
Overall, this patent presents a topical composition and method for improving the appearance of aging skin by stimulating hyaluronic acid production and regulating gene expression. The composition includes peptides, liposomes, and other ingredients that work together to achieve these effects.
