5AA Limited Human
Vialox (Pentpeptide-3V)
A synthetic skin peptide studied for neuromuscular-like wrinkle relaxation; evidence is primarily preclinical and cosmetic.
In Plain English: This is a small man‑made protein fragment designed to act on tiny muscles under the skin. It sends signals that may help those muscles relax a bit so expression lines and wrinkles can look softer on the surface.
Research Maturity
Limited Human (<10 PubMed-indexed results for Pentapeptide-3/Vialox; key efficacy ref Gorouhi & Maibach 2009; no independent RCT+ Studies)
