Zombie cells that accumulate in skin trigger inflammation and break down collagen, causing wrinkles and sagging. A peptide called OS1 reduces these senescent cells, allowing healthy cells to multiply and reverse visible aging signs.

So can you talk to us why peptides, then, are so important in getting to that root cause? That's one skin. Recent studies have shown that the accumulation of old cells in our bodies, also called the senescent cells or zombie cells, it's one of the major drivers of aging in our whole body and also in our skin. So, basically, these old cells accumulate in our skin, and they start secreting inflammation. And this inflammation will lead to collagen degradation and will also cause the cells around that fast. Well, that's why the more aging cells that you have in your skin, the more signs of aging, wrinkles, fine lines, and tagging you will experience. We found OS1 that can basically decrease the load of these aging cells in the skin. So with your own cells, the healthy cells can proliferate. This is the proof that we can actually reverse aging, and we can quantify it.
