Expert Verdict
Generally well-tolerated; peptides at cosmetic use levels have a strong safety record; potential for mild irritation in very sensitive individuals. A heptapeptide (7 amino acids) conjugated with a methylenedioxyphenylsuccinoyl group - the lipophilic moiety likely enhances skin penetration and bioavailability of the peptide; designed to target signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of firmness
