KTcos® Nonapeptide-1
KTcos® Nonapeptide-1, also known as Melitide, is a powerful peptide with nine amino acids, specifically designed for skin brightening and pigmentation reduction. This biomimetic peptide is highly effective in lightening skin tone and fading dark spots, making it a popular choice for skincare formulations aimed at achieving a more even, radiant complexion.
Nonapeptide-1 works by targeting the MC1 receptor on melanocytes, where it acts as an antagonist to melanocyte-stimulating hormones. By competitively binding to the receptor, it prevents the activation of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. As a result, the formation of excess pigment is reduced, helping to even out skin tone and reduce dark spots.
With consistent use, KTcos® Nonapeptide-1 starts showing noticeable improvements in skin tone within 14 days, gradually brightening the complexion. After one full skin cycle of 28 days, the skin appears visibly more radiant, with a fairer and healthier look. Ideal for inclusion in whitening, anti-spot, and skin tone improvement products, this peptide helps restore a more youthful, glowing appearance.
