About

A synthetic four-amino-acid peptide for skin conditioning. Low-risk by peptide class; independent evidence is sparse.

Tetrapeptide-59 is a defined-sequence synthetic peptide of four amino acids used as a skin-conditioning agent. Tetrapeptides in cosmetics are typically used at fractions of a percent and have a generally clean class safety record: low irritation, minimal sensitization, rapid enzymatic breakdown into amino acids. No CIR or SCCS opinion has been published for this peptide. Independent peer-reviewed efficacy data is sparse; most claims trace to supplier in vitro work.
