Acetyl Octapeptide-3 | Anti-Wrinkle & Expression Line Peptide
Overview
What is SNAP-8?
SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic octapeptide developed as a topical alternative to botulinum toxin. It inhibits SNARE complex formation, reducing acetylcholine release and muscle contractions. Clinical studies demonstrate up to 63% wrinkle depth reduction.
Key Benefits
Non-invasive Botox alternative, reduces expression lines by up to 63%, safe for sensitive skin and eye area, no recovery time.
Mechanism of Action
SNAP-8 mimics SNAP-25 protein N-terminal, competing for SNARE complex binding sites, reducing neurotransmitter release and muscle contractions.
