OS-01 for Cellular Senescence & Skin Anti-Aging — Skin & Hair
Senolytic peptide for removing senescent cells, reducing cellular aging, and improving skin health and healthy aging.
Overview
OS-01 (Oligopeptide-01) is a novel senolytic peptide developed through AI-driven drug discovery that selectively targets and clears senescent cells (zombie cells) in aging skin. Senescent cells accumulate with age and contribute to inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and visible aging. OS-01 works by inducing apoptosis in senescent fibroblasts while preserving healthy cells. Clinical studies show improvements in skin barrier function, reduced inflammation, and enhanced cellular turnover. Represents a cutting-edge approach to anti-aging by addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
Indications
- Cellular senescence and skin aging
- Chronic inflammation and inflammaging
- UV-damaged and photoaged skin
- Age-related skin barrier dysfunction
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness
- Cellular turnover optimization
- Prevention of age-related decline
Mechanism of Action
Aging and UV damage cause accumulation of zombie cells that resist apoptosis and secrete inflammatory factors
Dosing
| Compound | Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| OS-01 Peptide | Apply 2-3 drops | Once daily (evening preferred) | Apply to clean skin before moisturizer |
| OS-01 Peptide | 3-4 drops | Once daily (evening) | Extended application for comprehensive anti-aging |
| OS-01 + Retinol 0.25-0.5% | Alternate nights or layer | As tolerated | Synergistic cellular turnover, start slowly to assess tolerance |
| OS-01 Peptide | As directed | After microneedling or laser | Enhanced penetration post-treatment, may accelerate healing |
