00

Biological pathway

Cell-culture studies report altered actin organisation, stiffness and expression of genes associated with collagen and elastin regulation.

00b

Evidence summary

Peer-reviewed in vitro work supports biological activity of acetyl tetrapeptide-2 in keratinocytes.

00c

Limitations

Cell stiffness and gene-expression findings do not prove visible anti-ageing benefits in humans.
