Acetyl tetrapeptide-5
is used in cosmetic eye formulations to decrease puffiness, eye bags, and dark circles by reducing edema and protecting proteins such as SOD from glycation
Alanine
Ala / A · hydrophobic residue · neutral charge
AOD-9604
is studied as an anti-obesity peptide that can reduce weight gain and increase fat oxidation in obese animal models with generally neutral effects on IGF-1 and glucose metabolism in early human trials
Arginine
Arg / R · basic residue · positive charge
Argireline
is a topical cosmetic peptide reported to decrease dynamic wrinkles by partially mimicking the mechanism of botulinum toxin in a non-invasive manner
Asparagine
Asn / N · polar residue · neutral charge
Aspartic acid
Asp / D · acidic residue · negative charge
BPC-157
is investigated for accelerating healing of gastrointestinal mucosa, tendons, ligaments, bone, and nervous tissue in preclinical models, with anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic effects
Comparison
While Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 is used in cosmetic eye formulations to decrease puffiness, eye bags, and dark circles by reducing edema and protecting proteins such as SOD from glycation51150159154, LL-37 acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptide involved in host defense and wound repair, but can also promote inflammation and cancer cell proliferation in some contexts5215.
While Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 works as a synthetic tetrapeptide, Ac-βAla-His-Ser-His (Eyeseryl), with reported ACE-1 inhibition and anti-glycation activity, proposed to improve microcirculation and reduce capillary permeability and fluid accumulation in periorbital tissues51150159157, LL-37 is a cationic amphipathic 37-amino-acid cathelicidin peptide generated from hCAP18 that disrupts microbial membranes and modulates innate immunity, including chemotaxis, cytokine induction, and NET formation521586.

LL-37
CAMP
The clearest overlap between Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 and LL-37 is that both converge around Signaling modulator. Their typical research and application settings separate fairly clearly: Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 is more often discussed in the realm of Dermatology and aesthetics, whereas LL-37 is more often associated with the realm of Immunology and inflammation and Gastroenterology. Both appear to work through Signaling modulator, but the functional emphasis still separates, with Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 leaning toward Anti-inflammatory and LL-37 leaning toward Anti-pathogenic, Immune regulation, and Tissue repair and healing. Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 has a more synthetic design origin, while LL-37 is closer to natural endogenous background and their development context also differs, with Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 cosmetic grade while LL-37 is in Preclinical development. Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 incorporates acetylation features that are not part of LL-37.
