Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a peptide which is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by repeated facial expressions, such as crow's feet, frown lines or smile lines. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is also known as Argireline which also refers to Acetyl Hexapeptide-3.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 promotes the skin's natural production of Type 1 collagen, improving skin elasticity, and blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. This is why it is often referred to as 'Botox in a jar' as it helps to relax the facial expression lines. In fact studies show that Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can reduce wrinkle depth by up to 30% when used for 30 consecutive days.
In addition it helps dry skin by restoring the skin's natural water barrier and helps to bind water to the skin.
Skin Sculpt Advanced Multipeptide Cream contains Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
