Introduction:
Acetyl Hexapeptide 8 is a synthetic anti-aging cosmetic peptide derived from natural proteins. This peptide has been attributed to decreasing wrinkle formation by binding to the SNARE-receptor thus blocking the production of neurotransmitter which then reduces facial muscle contraction. Acetyl Hexapeptide 8, effectively reduces the depth of wrinkles, especially around the forehead and eyes, caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles.
Mechanism of action:
Acetyl Hexapeptide 8 works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters. When applied to the skin, it relaxes facial tension, which leads to the reduction in facial lines and wrinkles when used as directed. This resembles the effect of a Botox injection, which reduces facial tension and movement by literally paralyzing facial muscle
Function:
1. Compatible with varieties of formulations.
2. Remove the deep lines or wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes area.
3. A ideal alternative to Botulinum Toxin, targeting the wrinkles caused by the contraction of muscles of facial expression.
