Why it is in there
A peptide of six amino acids (Ac-EEMQRR-NH₂), rebuilt in the lab after a fragment of the protein SNAP-25, which takes part in muscle contraction. It was designed for the skin around the eyes and the forehead.

Where it comes from
A lab-built peptide that behaves like one of the body's own signalling substances.
What is known
What the maker measured
The manufacturer measured with a cream containing 3% of this peptide, in people sleeping five to six hours a night: 12% fewer dark circles under the eyes after seven days and 19% fewer after 28 days. How many people took part, and their age, is not stated in the documentation we were able to consult.
This is research into the active, not into the Valvor Man product. What a single active does in a study is not a promise about the cream it sits in.

About the research
Supplier study with a cream in people who slept only briefly, focused on the skin around the eyes. The number, sex and age of the participants were not published. The research was not done with the Night Cream: an identical dosage says something about the formula, not about the outcome with this product.
In our formula: 3% iPEPTIDE® — the same dosage as in the cream that was studied Bron: Formulation documentation, owner 24-09-2026
