Science
Mechanism of Action
This peptide acts as an antagonist to PGC-1alpha, downregulating its expression. This mechanism inhibits the maturation of pre-adipocytes and reduces lipid accumulation within fatty tissues, thereby smoothing the skin surface.

Key findings
- 01 In vitro studies show a significant reduction in PGC-1alpha expression, leading to decreased lipid accumulation in adipocytes, suggesting potential for cellulite reduction.
- 02 In vivo trials using related adipogenesis-inhibiting peptides demonstrated measurable decreases in thigh circumference and improved skin regularity within 28-56 days.
