- Days 1–14
- Gene upregulation for collagen types I/III; peptide-receptor binding
- No visible change; TEWL decreases 8–12%
- 'Product isn't working'
- Critical foundation phase. Fibroblast activity initiating
- Weeks 2–4
- Procollagen synthesis begins; GAG production increases
- Skin feels smoother; hydration improves slightly
- Minor placebo or moisturizer effect
- First measurable matrix changes. Not placebo
- Weeks 4–6
- Initial collagen deposition; dermal hydration increases 15–20%
- Fine lines soften; texture more uniform
- Temporary 'plumping' from hydration
- Structural change beginning. Hydration is matrix-bound
- Weeks 6–12
- Collagen fibril organization; wrinkle depth reduces 15–25%
- Visible reduction in crow's feet and nasolabial folds
- 'Now it's finally working'
- Peak synthesis phase. Results compound from here
- Months 3–6
- Sustained collagen turnover at elevated baseline; dermal thickness +12–18%
- Maximum visible benefit; skin resilience improves
- Plateau means diminishing returns
- Optimal steady state. Maintain to preserve gains
