Confidence · High

Melanotan II can affect skin pigmentation, but calling it 'safe' overstates the evidence. It is not approved for cosmetic use, and reported side effects exist.

What the research says

Melanotan II has documented pigmentation effects through melanocortin receptor activation, but the published record is dominated by small studies and dermatology case reports of side effects. No trial establishes cosmetic safety.
