Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides of general formula (I) capable of regulating fibrillogenesis, stereoisomers thereof and mixtures thereof, which may or may not be racemic, and the cosmetically or dermopharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein Z is alanyl, allo-isoleucyl, glycyl, isoleucyl, isoseryl, isovalyl, leucyl, norleucyl, norvalyl, prolyl, seryl, threonyl, allo-threonyl or valyl; n and m may vary between 1 and 5; AA is selected from the group consisting of natural amino acids encoded in their L- or D-form and non-encoded amino acids; x and y may vary between 0 and 2; R1 is H or alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or acyl group; and R2 is amino, hydroxyl or thiol, all of them substituted or non-substituted with aliphatic or cyclic groups. A method for obtaining cosmetic or dermopharmaceutical compositions containing them and use thereof for treating the skin, preferably those skin conditions which require regulating fibrillogenesis, such as aging and/or the softening of the appearance of scars.

Abstract: A cosmetic or dermopharmaceutical composition comprising enkephalin-derived peptides of general formula (I) for reducing and/or eliminating facial wrinkles is disclosed. The cosmetic or dermopharmaceutical composition can be applied to the skin, preferably skin of the face, to reduce and/or eliminate facial wrinkles, such facial expression wrinkles. Use of the peptide of general formula (I) in the preparation of a cosmetic or dermopharmaceutical composition for reducing and/or eliminating facial wrinkles is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to peptides of general formula (I): that can reduce or remove bags formed under the eyes, their stereoisomers and racemic or non-racemic mixtures thereof, and the cosmetically or dermopharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein X is cystenyl, seryl, threonyl or aminobutyryl; R1 is H or alkyl, aryl, aralkyl or acyl group; and R2 is amino, hydroxy or thiol, all of them substituted or non-substituted with aliphatic or cyclic groups. The invention also relates to a method of obtaining, cosmetic or dermopharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use for treating skin, preferably for reducing or removing bags formed under the eyes.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic compositions which are intended to improve the firmness of the skin by increasing adhesion of cutaneous cells in relation to one another and the basal lamina. The aforementioned compositions comprise a cosmetically-effective quantity of peptides having general formula X-isoleucyl-lysyl-valyl-alanyl-valine-Y, known as X-SEQ ID No. 1-Y (FIG. 1). The invention also relates to the use of X-SEQ ID No. 1-Y peptides in the preparation of cosmetic compositions which are intended to improve the firmness of the skin.
