Dosing guide
| Level | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic formulas | 0.01 % | 0.001–0.01% finished strength |
Timing & cycling
On clean skin/scalp, morning and/or evening; layer under moisturizer.
Cycle length. Continuous cosmetic use; assess at 8–12 weeks.
Storage & handling
Keep topical peptide serums cool and out of direct light; many are best refrigerated to preserve activity. Follow the individual product's shelf life once opened.
Key points
- A cosmetic-grade signal peptide; concentrations are tiny by design and more is not better.
- Buy finished formulations — home-compounding to 0.001% accurately is harder than it sounds.
What to monitor
Photos and patch-test first — tripeptides are gentle but any new serum can irritate.
Legal & prescription status
No prescription needed for the cosmetic form — it is an over-the-counter skincare/haircare ingredient found in serums and creams.
