[High Penetration & Stability] Penetrating Peptide Vitamin C Derivative Pentide-C

CITE JAPAN Gold Award Winner! A high-functionality and highly permeable vitamin C derivative combined with cell-penetrating peptides and vitamin C.

"Pentide-C" is a groundbreaking vitamin C derivative that combines a cell-permeable peptide with the hydroxyl group of vitamin C. Conventional vitamin C derivatives have had the challenge of being difficult to penetrate the skin and convert into free vitamin C within cells. Pentide-C does not rely on receptors (vitamin C transporters) and directly penetrates the stratum corneum to reach the dermis and the interior of cells through the action of permeable peptides. The bond is hydrolyzed by intracellular peptidases, exhibiting excellent effects as pure vitamin C. It has demonstrated an impressive skin penetration rate of 26.6% in the Franz Diffusion Cell test and boasts a proven track record, having won the Gold Award in the Technology Category at the CITE JAPAN 2021 Awards.
