These dosage ranges are derived from preclinical research and community protocols. No human clinical dose-ranging trials have established therapeutic doses for most research peptides. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any peptide protocol.

Dosage by Use Case

Under-Eye Puffiness (edema reduction)

0.5–2%2× daily
Duration

Up to 60 days

Apply around the orbital bone. Clinical studies show optimal results after 60 days of consistent use.

Dark Circle Reduction (vascular component)

1–2%2× daily
Duration

Up to 60 days

May be combined with other ingredients targeting hyperpigmentation for enhanced effect.

Pre-Event De-Puffing (acute edema)

1–2% (eye patch)Single application
Duration

15–20 minutes

Use hydrogel eye patches for concentrated delivery before special occasions.

Timing & Frequency

Apply morning and evening after cleansing. Allow product to fully absorb before applying makeup or sunscreen. Evening application is most important to reduce fluid accumulation overnight.

Cycle Guidance

Continuous use is generally recommended for optimal results. There is no evidence to suggest cycling is necessary or beneficial. Long-term use has not been associated with adverse effects in cosmetic applications.
