Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions through a dual-pathway approach: the vitamin C component inhibits melanin synthesis for brightening effects while the dipeptide-17 segment stimulates collagen biosynthesis to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines. The carbonyl linkage provides enhanced molecular stability and facilitates deeper skin penetration through multiple dermal layers.

Clinical Evidence
Medium confidenceN/A
Key findings
- 01 Multi-peptide eye cream formulation showed 14% improvement in eyelid fine lines and 12% reduction in under-eye wrinkles after 4 weeks
- 02 Enhanced skin absorption speed by 183.3% with penetration across 11 skin layers when delivered via ultra-micro liposome technology
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Insufficient market data available for dusting analysis due to limited commercial usage outside Korean functional cosmetics
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Demonstrates superior stability versus pure L-ascorbic acid due to carbonyl linkage protection. Benefits from ultra-fine liposomal encapsulation for enhanced delivery and preservation.
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- Extreme pH formulations that may compromise peptide bond integrity
Safety
Safety Profile
Not currently evaluated by CIR or SCCS regulatory bodies. Recognized as safe for use in Korean functional cosmetics as a skin-conditioning agent.
