NCT ID NCT07614698
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a cream containing Acetyl Hexapeptide-37 helps the skin barrier recover faster after being slightly damaged by tape-stripping. Thirty healthy adults will apply the peptide cream on one forearm and a placebo on the other. Researchers will measure water loss, hydration, and redness to see if the active cream works better.
