Mechanism of Action
Peptides generally operate by signaling the skin to initiate its intrinsic repair mechanisms. This specific peptide aims to support the regeneration of mature skin, enhance its structural integrity, and contribute to a visible reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, while also improving overall complexion and skin elasticity by stimulating endogenous repair pathways.

Stability
No specific optimal pH range for the stability of this peptide was identified. However, for general Asp-hexapeptides, the pH of the bulk solution was not a statistically significant factor for solid-state chemical stability, whereas residual moisture levels, temperature, and the specific type of bulking agent used were critical considerations.
Safety
Safety Profile
The European Union explicitly lists R-(ASPARTYL OLIGOPEPTIDE-162 HEXAPEPTIDE-40 ASPARTYL RH-POLYPEPTIDE-114) as a 'PROHIBITED INGREDIENT' under restriction II/416. There are no specific safety reviews available from CIR, SCCS, or FDA for this exact ingredient beyond this EU prohibition.
