The skin bulletin

Reading list

The studies and reviews discussed in this bulletin.

Start with skin

The fibroblast collagen experiment is the most direct starting point for the collagen-production claim. The skin-regeneration review places it in a wider topical context, while the tissue-remodelling review describes the broader collection of repair-related effects across human and animal work.

For the physical barrier, pair the removed-human-skin experiment with the review of topical GHK delivery and wrinkles. An ingredient name tells me very little beside that penetration result.

Other experiments

The human hair trial tests GHK combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid. The follicle paper uses AHK-Cu. Those are different materials and different experimental settings.

The gene-data review supplies the threshold and scope for the gene-expression discussion. I give the skin measurements more weight when the question is a visible cosmetic outcome; the molecular work earns attention for the experiments it suggests.
