Description Acetyl Octapeptide-3, also known as SNAP-8, is a synthetic peptide that is based around octapeptide-3, a peptide complex composed of the amino acids aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, and methionine. This peptide is said to improve the look of signs of aging formed from repetitive facial expressions. Like all peptides, it has water-binding properties and theoretical skin-restoring ability. It may play a role in helping skin look younger and can help hydrate and smooth skin.
Uses anti-wrikle
benefits Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is mimics N-terminal of SNAP-25, competiting againstthe site of SNAP-25, inhibiting release ofAcetylcholine(Ach), muscle contraction, reduceexpression lines.Higher activity than AcetylHexapeptide-8.Its recommended dosage is 3~10%.
Mechanism of action The way Acetyl Octapeptide-3 works is by limiting the contraction of facial muscles, which in turn helps to reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines. It is similar in its mechanism to Botox, but it is a safer and less invasive alternative. It is also less expensive than Botox injections, which makes it more accessible to a broader range of people.
Safety
Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is considered to be safe for most people. However, some individuals have reported experiencing some mild side effects, such as irritation or redness of the skin. If you experience any side effects after using Snap-8 peptide, stop using it and consult with a dermatologist.
Acetyl octapeptide is an extended analog of the hexapeptide aquirelin. Since anti-wrinkle oligopeptides are scientifically and rationally designed anti-wrinkle active raw material peptides based on modern biochemical mechanisms, they have now become a popular anti-wrinkle cosmetic raw material in the world. Anti-wrinkle oligopeptide ingredients are claimed to be used in various cosmetic series for anti-wrinkle. Its efficacy is comparable to that of botulinum toxin type A, but it avoids the disadvantages of botulinum toxin requiring injection and high cost.
Efficacy and Application
Reduces the depth of wrinkles caused by contraction of facial expression muscles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes A safer, cheaper, milder alternative to Botox that targets wrinkle formation mechanisms topically in a very different way effect. Add it to cosmetic formulas such as lotions, gels, serums, etc. to achieve the ideal effect of removing deep wrinkles or wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes.
