Peptides and use thereof having anti-aging activity

The present invention finds a short peptides with anti-aging effect, it is an object to provide a novel anti-aging agent containing the peptide as an active ingredient. Fibroblast growth promoting action, have the effect of one or more selected from the group consisting of hyaluronic acid production promoting action and a collagen gel contraction effect, the amino acid sequence represented by ELKLIFLHRLKRLRKRLKRK (SEQ ID NO: 1), or from the partial sequence peptide or its derivative or a salt thereof made has been found to be useful as an active ingredient of an anti-aging agent.
