The culture dish, the skin sample and the combined topical preparation each leave a different kind of record.
Cells and genes
The fibroblast collagen experiment is the most tightly bounded starting point here. The GHK gene-data review asks a much broader mechanistic question. I give these different jobs when considering the laboratory findings.
Topical preparations and skin transport
The skin-regeneration review and the topical anti-wrinkle review bring the cosmetic argument into focus. The human skin-layer experiment gives the delivery discussion an actual transport measurement. I favour putting the cosmetic outcomes alongside that delivery question.
Hair formulations
The human combination trial and the AHK-Cu laboratory experiment reward attention to the compound named in each. Their differences are the subject of the hair-formula entry. The complete source titles follow.
