What do the studies show?
In vitro and limited cosmetic research. Educational information. Not diagnosis, treatment or use advice.
Topical
Limited evidenceCosmetic formulations
Small comparative studies report changes in wrinkle measures, often using multi-ingredient products and without strong independent replication.
Barrier
Limited evidenceSkin penetration
Peptides cross the stratum corneum poorly; formulation and delivery system determine exposure.

Research route, formulation and population determine what a result actually means.
What is known
- Visible research claims use primary or official sources.
- The calculator is arithmetic and does not turn a study amount into medical advice.
- A registered medicine and a research vial are not automatically equivalent.
What remains uncertain
- Many products lack long-term safety data and independent replication.
- Animal and cell findings do not predict a safe human dose.
- Stability depends on formulation, pH, sterility, light, temperature and packaging.
