What is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8?

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, also known as Argireline, is a synthetic peptide made up of amino acids. Due to its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, this ingredient is popular in anti-aging formulations, often appearing in serums and creams designed to target visible signs of aging.

In fact, it's often referred to as a "Botox-like" peptide because it works by inhibiting the muscle contractions that cause expression lines, but unlike Botox injections, it's non-invasive and topical.

Benefits:

Reduces wrinkles and fine lines: By targeting expression lines, especially around the forehead and eyes.

Prevents new wrinkles: By limiting repetitive muscle movement, it helps prevent the deepening of existing lines and the formation of new ones.

Non-irritating: It's considered gentle and suitable for most skin types.
