Scientific Overview

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is marketed by Lipotec/Lubrizol under the trade name Uplevity. Manufacturer-funded clinical data report improved skin firmness and reduced sagging via thymopoietic-pathway mimicry. Independent peer-reviewed evidence is limited, and effects are generally modest like other cosmetic peptides.
