The Zombie reality
The scientific literature shows that the zombie problem is limited to one cell type – melanocytes – which increase at a linear, rather than exponential rate.
Do I have a zombie problem?
Is there a zombie killer cream?
Yes. Topical rapamycin treats pigment dysfunction associated with zombie cells.
Fig. 3 Rapamycin treatment improves clinical signs of aging in the skin. Clinical improvement in a 65-year-old woman (a) and a 67-year-old woman (b) following application of 10 μM rapamycin cream for 6–8 months. The placebo-treated hand is provided for comparison. in c, overall clinical improvement on 3 scales, the Glogau Classification of Photoaging, wrinkling measured on a 1-4 Likert scale, and the Merz Hand Grading Scale for aging skin, is presented for all subjects completing the study. Lower score on all scales correlates with reduced clinical severity.
The clinical studies: Rapamycin vs. OneSkin.
Comparative Summary of Topical Rapamycin (GeroScience, 2019) and OS-01 Peptide (J Cosmet Dermatol, 2024).
| Criterion | Topical Rapamycin (GeroScience, 2019) | OS-01 Peptide (J Cosmet Dermatol, 2024) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Protocol published in clinical trials repository | Yes – Registered on ClinicalTrials.gov(NCT03103893) | No evidence – No trial registration reported |
| 2. Registered protocol specifies primary / secondary endpoints | Yes – Primary: dermal thickness (6–8 mo); Secondary: gene expression, seborrheic keratosis severity | No – No pre-specified endpoints |
| 3. Publication reports on registered endpoints | Partially – Reports histology / gene expression but emphasizes exploratory outcomes (p16^INK4a, skin tone) | No – Reports only exploratory cosmetic outcomes (hydration, barrier, texture) |
| 4. Evaluates senescence markers | Yes – Reduced p16^INK4a; increased collagen VII | No – No senescence markers measured |
| 5. Evaluates pigmentation effects | Yes (qualitative) – Improved evenness / skin tone (not pre-specified or quantitative) | No – Pigmentation not assessed |
The Adipeau regimen restores strong skin.
