A new decorin-like tetrapeptide for optimal organization of collagen fibres
In vitro and in vivo testing confirmed the peptide regulates collagen fibrillogenesis and increases skin suppleness.

Lys-Asp-Ile-Cit decorin mimic · CAS 117933-89-8
Tripeptide-10 Citrulline (Lys-Asp-Ile-Cit-NH2) is a decorin-mimetic tetrapeptide used in firming skincare. Published work describes it binding collagen fibrils and regulating fibrillogenesis so fibrils keep a more uniform diameter and spacing, which formulators position for suppleness, resilience, and elasticity in mature skin.
Market context: this is the INCI peptide found in supplier-branded Decorinyl (Lipotec / Lubrizol) actives, and it also appears in Decorinyl-class blends such as Trylagen (Lubrizol). Formulate Labs supplies Tripeptide-10 Citrulline in our own made-to-order suspensions. We do not sell, stock, or represent those trade names.
Formulate Labs offers it as a water-soluble suspension in glycerin / water or Sea Kelp Bioferment. Use about 5% of the 0.2% (1X) grade, or 0.5% of the 2% (10X) lab concentrate, for roughly 0.01% peptide in the finished formula.
Hair-care note: unlike dermal-papilla or DEJ-anchoring peptides, Tripeptide-10 Citrulline has no primary hair application - follicle growth and keratin shaft structure do not depend on collagen fibrillogenesis. Target facial and body firming skincare.*
These attributes are assessments based on the ingredient deck and the supplier information available to us. They are not third-party certifications (no Kosher, Halal, Vegan, or similar certifying body has audited or issued a certificate for this material). If your finished product requires a specific certified status, please reach out and we’ll walk through what we can document.
Every lot is produced to order in our AI-powered robotic factory. Nothing sits on a warehouse shelf going stale - you get a date-of-manufacture-fresh batch every time.
Tripeptide-10 Citrulline is the INCI name for the active ingredient; trade names such as Decorinyl refer to supplier-branded actives, which Formulate Labs does not sell or represent.
Tripeptide-10 Citrulline's efficacy in collagen organization and skin rejuvenation is supported by robust scientific research, including peer-reviewed studies that validate its mechanism as a decorin-mimetic peptide found in Decorinyl-class actives. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.
