Melanotan-2

Melanotan-2 has been explored for pigmentation and other melanocortin-mediated responses. Early human observations show several physiological effects, but do not establish safe cosmetic tanning or long-term skin benefits.

Read the findings & sourcesHuman study discussed

An early phase I study in only three male volunteers reported pigmentation changes as well as nausea, fatigue and spontaneous erections. It establishes that the compound has multiple physiological effects, not that cosmetic tanning is safe. The very small sample and short observation period cannot assess uncommon harms or long-term skin outcomes.
