Chemical composition

Snap-8, or Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is an octapeptide composed of eight amino acids. It is a synthetic peptide derived from Argireline and is designed to inhibit facial muscle contractions, targeting the formation and deepening of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions.

Mechanism of action

Snap-8 works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters that cause facial muscle contractions. This inhibition is similar to how Botox works, but Snap-8 provides a milder effect, reducing the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles without the need for injections.

Potential research benefits

Reduces wrinkles

Snap-8 is designed to reduce the depth of wrinkles and lines caused by facial expressions, particularly around the forehead and eyes.

Alternative to invasive procedures

As a topical treatment, Snap-8 offers a non-invasive alternative to Botox, providing similar benefits in reducing facial muscle contractions that lead to wrinkles.

Hydrating and skin-smoothing

In addition to its muscle-relaxing effects, Snap-8 helps to maintain moisture levels in the skin, contributing to a smoother and more hydrated complexion.

Safe for topical use

Snap-8 is generally well-tolerated and can be safely incorporated into daily skincare routines. It is suitable for most skin types and has a low risk of causing irritation.

Usage in formulations

Snap-8 is commonly included in anti-aging skincare products like serums, creams, and lotions, typically at concentrations of 3% to 10%.

This is a pure raw peptide, meaning you add the water based carrier directly to the jar. Hyaluronic Acid serum or a suitable gel and mix it up.
