Plain-English summary

One patient improved while using several treatments together, so the effect cannot be attributed to acetyl hexapeptide-1 alone.

Population
Adult with premature hair greying
Sample size
1
Intervention
Topical Melitane 5% plus oral supplements and other supportive treatment
Outcomes measured
Hair pigmentation and photographic appearance
Key findings
Pigmentation improved during combined treatment, without proof that acetyl hexapeptide-1 caused the change.
Limitations
Single patient|Multiple simultaneous interventions|No control group|Subjective and photographic outcomes
Risk of bias
Very high — uncontrolled case report with major confounding.
