Studysummary This study found that microspicule cosmetics with low-molecular-weight peptide complexes significantly improved skin whitening, pore condition, and skin barrier function over four weeks compared to a non-microspicule formulation. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study investigated the skin improvement efficacy of microspicule cosmetics containing low-molecular-weight peptide complexes. An in vitro test showed excellent cell viability and a 23.62% inhibition rate of melanogenesis at 0.1% concentration. A human application test on 20 adults aged 30–59 over 4 weeks revealed significant improvements in skin whitening, pore improvement, and skin barrier enhancement, with the experimental group showing superior results compared to the comparison group. The findings suggest that microspicules enhance the transdermal absorption of active ingredients, strengthening the skin barrier and providing a basis for optimizing spicule purification techniques and cosmetic formulations for skin safety and efficacy.
