VitaPep KPV Topical Serum is a ready-to-use external cosmetic formula labeled with 10 mg of KPV in a 30 mL bottle. It combines a clearly disclosed peptide amount with a DMSO-based carrier, straightforward topical application, and batch-specific testing documentation.
There is no mixing, reconstitution, or complicated preparation. The practical value is simple: a prepared topical format, transparent product specifications, and direct access to the documentation behind the formula.
| Product format | Ready-to-use topical serum |
|---|---|
| Peptide | KPV |
| Labeled peptide amount | 10 mg per 30 mL bottle |
| Measured concentration (batch KPV020) | 0.34 mg/mL |
| Listed carrier blend | 70% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 30% deionized water |
| Testing documentation | Batch-specific concentration, microbiological-quality, and heavy-metal testing |
| Intended use | Topical external cosmetic use only |
The serum arrives prepared for external use. There is no powder to measure, liquid to add, or reconstitution process.
The topical format lets you apply the amount stated in the current directions directly to the intended external area.
VitaPep identifies the peptide, bottle volume, listed concentration, carrier blend, intended use, and available testing documentation.
The KPV testing page identifies the submitted samples, batch, laboratories, testing scope, and reported results.
KPV is the three-amino-acid sequence lysine-proline-valine. Scientific literature describes it as a short peptide sequence associated with the C-terminal region of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
The named peptide component. The current bottle artwork identifies 10 mg in each 30 mL bottle.
Also known as DMSO, this is listed as 70% of the formula's carrier blend.
Purified water listed as 30% of the carrier blend.
Always review the ingredient declaration on the current product packaging before use. If the packaging and online listing differ or are unclear, contact VitaPep before applying the product.
Researchers have examined KPV in laboratory systems, including cell-signaling research involving cultured human keratinocytes. That work helps describe the molecule, but it did not test VitaPep KPV Serum or establish a cosmetic result in people.
A separate ex vivo human-skin delivery study evaluated KPV using microporation and iontophoresis. Passive delivery was below the study's detection threshold. The experiment did not evaluate VitaPep's DMSO-based formula and should not be treated as proof of absorption or performance for this serum.
For additional safety context, the FDA states on its bulk-drug-substance safety page that it has not identified human exposure data for drug products containing KPV by any route. That discussion concerns drug compounding and is not an approval or evaluation of this cosmetic product.
Published laboratory and experimental-delivery research can explain why a molecule is being studied, but it does not establish that a finished topical cosmetic formula produces a medical or clinical outcome. VitaPep does not represent this serum as a treatment, cure, or prevention for any disease or medical condition.
Testing documents should be read according to the sample, batch, method, units, and scope stated by the laboratory. One report does not automatically establish every characteristic of a raw ingredient or finished formula.
| Laboratory document | Identified sample | Reported scope and result |
|---|---|---|
| Janoshik report 93403 | KPV, batch KPV020 | Reported KPV concentration of 0.34 mg/mL for the submitted peptide liquid |
| Dyad Labs certificate 1425293-1 | VitaPep KPV Serum, lot KPV020 | Microbiological-quality panel and arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury results |
Across a 30 mL product volume, the reported 0.34 mg/mL concentration corresponds to 10.2 mg in the submitted KPV020 sample. The product is labeled at 10 mg. These reports document the submitted samples and characteristics specifically tested; they do not establish skin absorption, clinical effectiveness, or a consumer outcome.

Always follow the directions supplied with the specific bottle you receive. For additional guidance, see how to read VitaPep topical serum directions.
DMSO is discussed as a penetration enhancer in pharmaceutical and research formulations, but that general property does not establish KPV delivery from this finished formula. See a peer-reviewed review of DMSO in topical formulations.
Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition, taking medication, or have questions about whether the ingredients are appropriate for you. Learn more on the VitaPep standards page.
It is a ready-to-use 30 mL external cosmetic serum labeled with 10 mg of KPV in a DMSO and deionized-water carrier blend.
It is a fluid topical serum rather than a conventional cosmetic cream or lotion.
No. The serum is supplied as a prepared external-use formula. Follow the directions on the current bottle.
No. Published cell and experimental-delivery studies help describe KPV as a research molecule, but they do not prove that this finished serum produces a clinical or cosmetic outcome in people.
No. DMSO can affect skin permeability for some substances, but that general property does not establish the extent of KPV delivery from this particular formula.
Independent laboratories evaluated identified samples for the characteristics stated in their reports. Each document should be read by batch and testing scope.
No. It is formulated and sold for topical external cosmetic use only.
