Medical & legal disclaimer

Not medical advice

Peptide Skin Science publishes general educational information about peptides: cosmetic skincare ingredients, approved peptide medicines, drugs in clinical trials, and unapproved research peptides. It is not medical advice and must not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional (such as a doctor, dermatologist, or pharmacist) about your individual situation, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a skin condition, or take medication.

Cosmetic peptides are not medicines

Throughout this site we distinguish cosmetic peptides (topical skincare ingredients regulated to make appearance claims) from medical and injectable peptides (regulated as medicines, or sold as unapproved “research” chemicals). Nothing here should be read as guidance to buy, prepare, ingest, or inject any peptide product intended for research or non-cosmetic use. Doing so can be dangerous and, in many places, unlawful.

Approval and legal status

Approval, trial and legal status changes over time and differs by country. Where we state a status, we name the country or regulator, the source, and the date we checked it. A status is only as current as that date. Nothing here is legal advice; check the rules where you live.

No guarantees

Results vary between individuals, and results reported in a trial may not apply to you. Descriptions of what an ingredient may support are general and do not guarantee any specific result for you.

Product references

Where we describe ingredient types or how to evaluate a product, we are offering educational criteria, not a personalised recommendation. If we ever introduce products or affiliate links, any commercial relationship will be disclosed clearly.

External links

We link to third-party sources for verification. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or policies of external sites.

Use at your own discretion

By using this site you agree that you are responsible for your own health and skincare decisions and that Peptide Skin Science is not liable for outcomes arising from reliance on general educational content. Patch test new products and stop use if irritation occurs.
