Comedogenic Rating

Safety

Typically well tolerated and not known to be photosensitizing; mild redness or stinging can occur in sensitive skin, especially at higher use levels or when layered with strong actives. Patch test if prone to reactivity and discontinue if irritation persists.

Is Oligopeptide-1 a Good Ingredient?

Earns a Good rating because small clinical and in-vitro studies point to modest improvements in smoothness and conditioning, with generally low irritation and good formulation compatibility. It stays at Good rather than higher because the benefits are plausible but not consistently demonstrated across products.
