Key Ingredients
- Important note on "Peptide Complex" naming: despite the product name, MedEasy's review of the confirmed ingredient list found NO actual peptide ingredient (such as Matrixyl, palmitoyl-tripeptide, copper peptide, or Argireline). The formula instead contains a "Silk Amino Acid Blend" -- a mixture of individual free amino acids and their sodium salts (Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, L-Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, PCA, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-Threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine). Free amino acids are a distinct ingredient category from peptides (which are bonded chains of amino acids), and MedEasy does not present this product as containing a verified peptide active
- Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (marketed as "botanical hyaluronic acid"): this is a plant-derived polysaccharide marketed as a Hyaluronic Acid mimetic, not actual Hyaluronic Acid itself -- MedEasy notes this distinction rather than implying the product contains true Hyaluronic Acid
- Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel): botanical ingredients included for soothing and toning support
- Organic Jojoba Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): included for moisturizing and antioxidant support
- Full confirmed ingredient list: Organic Herbal Infusion, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Vegetable Glycerin, Silk Amino Acid Blend (Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, L-Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, PCA, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-Threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine), Organic Jojoba Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexylglycerin
Key Features
- Manufactured by Guangzhou Yilong Cosmetics Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou, China)
- Marketed as a peptide-based anti-aging and repair serum; MedEasy could not confirm an actual peptide ingredient in the formula (see note above)
- MedEasy could not find this product listed within Melao's own catalogued product line on independent ingredient databases, suggesting it may be a rebranded generic/OEM formula rather than a Melao-exclusive formulation -- this is disclosed as an unresolved sourcing note
Benefits
- The botanical and amino-acid-based ingredients (Aloe, Witch Hazel, Silk Amino Acid Blend, Jojoba Oil) support general hydration, soothing, and skin conditioning
- MedEasy does not assert specific anti-wrinkle, collagen-stimulating, or firming benefits, since the marketed "peptide" mechanism could not be confirmed from the ingredient list
- Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) offers general antioxidant support
