About
A short synthetic peptide (4 amino acids) used at very low percentages for skin conditioning. Likely safe but evidence is mostly supplier-generated.
Tetrapeptide-65 is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide marketed for skin conditioning, typically used at fractions of a percent. As with most numbered cosmetic peptides, the exact sequence is supplier-controlled and not always public. Short synthetic peptides have a generally clean safety record — they are too large to penetrate deeply, biodegrade rapidly, and rarely cause sensitization. There is no specific CIR or SCCS review for this peptide. Independent peer-reviewed efficacy data is essentially absent; claims rely on in vitro studies from the supplier. Treated as low-risk, low-evidence.
