Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

( 221 )

A neuropeptide complex that works by modulating neuromuscular activity to visibly reduce facial expression lines. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 mimics the SNAP-25 N-terminal domain, preventing SNARE complex formation and thereby reducing acetylcholine release. This results in smoother skin and a relaxed facial appearance without the need for injections.

Peptide Type: Neurotransmission-modulating peptide

Cat Number: PLS-BIO-002

 II. PREPARATION / RECONSTITUTION

General Guidance

Reconstitute with 1 mL sterile distilled water or buffer (pH 6–7), to obtain 100 mg/mL concentration. Gently mix until fully dissolved.

Recommendations

Avoid vigorous shaking and multiple freeze–thaw cycles. Add directly to the aqueous phase of formulations.

 

 III. MECHANISM & BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION

Mechanism of Action

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 mimics the N-terminal domain of SNAP-25, competing with natural SNAP-25 for SNARE complex formation. This reduces neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions, decreasing muscle contraction and expression wrinkles.

Biological Claims

Reduces the depth of facial wrinkles, especially in the forehead and eye areas; provides a Botox-like smoothing effect without muscle paralysis.

 

 IV. APPLICATIONS

Intended Uses

Anti-aging serums, wrinkle-reducing creams, eye contour formulations, dermal relaxant products.

Common Questions

How quickly can results be observed?

Clinical studies show visible wrinkle reduction in 7–15 days with consistent application.

Other studies indicate improved wrinkle appearance over 4–8 weeks in some formulations.

Is it safe for sensitive skin types?

Yes, the peptide is well tolerated and non-irritating when used at recommended concentrations.

Can it be combined with retinol or acids?

Yes. It complements collagen-stimulating actives when applied in separate or alternating formulations.
