Research PeptideAlso known as: Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
What is Argireline?
Argireline is a popular cosmetic peptide that reduces expression wrinkles by inhibiting neuromuscular junction activity.
How It Works
Argireline inhibits SNARE complex formation, reducing acetylcholine release and muscle contraction for a mild botox-like effect.
What Research Shows
Key Findings:
- 30% wrinkle reduction in some studies
- Well-established safety profile
- Popular in anti-aging cosmetics
Limited Human Research
Most research on Argireline has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.
Dosing Protocol
These are general guidelines based on research literature and community protocols. Individual dosing should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider.
