What is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8/Argireline
Argireline, also known as acetyl hexapeptide-8, also known as botulinum toxin, is an oligopeptide that mimics the N-terminal 6 amino acids of SNAP-25 protein. It is a high-quality anti-wrinkle cosmetic raw material with high anti-wrinkle activity and few side effects. It has been used in various high-end cosmetics series.

Feature of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8/Argireline
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8/Argireline is a high-quality anti-wrinkle cosmetic raw material with relatively small side effects and high anti-wrinkle activity. It can increase skin elasticity, smooth wrinkles and improve facial relaxation.
Applications of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8/Argireline can be added to beauty and skin care products, such as lotions, facial masks, morning and night creams, eye essences, etc. It can usually improve the face and neck, and can also be used for hand care.
It participates in competition for SNAP-25 sites in the fusion vesicle complex, thereby affecting complex formation. When the vesicle complex is slightly unstable, the vesicles cannot effectively release neurotransmitters, resulting in weakened muscle contraction and preventing the formation of wrinkles.
A bioactive peptide of the sequence Acetyl-Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-ArgNH2, called acetyl hexapeptide-3, is a compound similar to botulinum toxin A, but it lacks the N of the protein SNAP-25 – terminal domain that competes for binding to the SNARE complex that regulates its formation, which inhibits the formation of acetylcholine and therefore attenuates muscle contraction. The peptide also reduces the development of wrinkles caused by involuntary skin movements. Botulinum toxin A acts like a protease, cleaving the protein SNAP-25 from the SNARE complex. This results in inhibiting the release of acetylcholine.
