Equinox contains the Matrikines Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR acting in synergy to repair the cutaneous damages of age. Equinox contains matrikines which are messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair. They activate the neosynthesis of extracellular matrix macromecules providing Equinox with a visible antiwrinkle efficacy.

Matrikines are messenger peptides capable of regulating cell activities by interacting with their specific receptors. They activate certain genes involved in the process of extracellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation. Those mechanisms become weaker and weaker with age.
