My good friend just spent 3.500$ on ultherapy treatment and was given a nourishing cream with anti-aging peptide: Palmitoyl-Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Oligopeptide-1,3,13, Algae Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, Licorice, Green Tea Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheral

Is this peptide good and safe for her to use? She has some lumps and cysts inside her body, and I just don't want her to add more harmful chemicals to her system.

Pleae advice Dr. Pickart.. Thank you...

Dr. Pickart, my friend applied Day Cover after she put on this cream: Palmitoyl-Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Oligopeptide-1,3,13, Algae Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate, Licorice, Green Tea Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Tocopheral. About an hour later she's got uneven brownish/reddish color all over the face.

Could that be a result of copper reactions? Wish I had the picture. She washed it right away.

That could be due to copper reactions with the other compounds.

It is best to use the copper peptide products alone.
