Registry functions describe possible formulation roles, not results for a finished product. A dictionary entry is not an approval or a safety assessment.
A closer look
What the research shows
Laboratory and human research
The complete cream improved measured periorbital hydration, elasticity and ultrasound collagen density over 12 weeks.
What this does not tell us
The peptide was combined with other actives, preventing independent attribution. The article gives internally inconsistent descriptions of control and blinding, so the clinical design remains uncertain.
