Argireline(Acetyl hexapeptide-8) NEW

Acetyl hexapeptide-8 or acetyl hexapeptide-8 amide (some sources incorrectly refer to this peptide as acetyl hexapeptide-3) is a synthetic anti-wrinkle cosmetics ingredient.

Acetyl hexapeptide-8 is used in attempts to decrease the visible effects of aging by reducing the deep wrinkles and lines that occur around the forehead and eyes.

Chemically, when applied as a solution to specific areas of the face, acetyl hexapeptide-8 inhibits the reactions that cause muscles to move or contract – for example when forming facial expressions such as smiling or frowning.
