Science
Mechanism of Action
Functions as a selective voltage-gated sodium channel blocker, specifically targeting NaV 1.4 channels to interrupt neuromuscular transmission signals that cause facial muscle contractions, resulting in temporary muscle relaxation and wrinkle reduction
Research
Clinical Evidence
Medium confidence3%
Key findings
- 01 Related conopeptide studies show significant wrinkle depth and surface roughness reduction within 2 hours of single application
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Given the 1-5% recommended use level and peptide stability requirements, concentrations below 0.1% are likely insufficient for neuromuscular modulation effects
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Exhibits high stability in aqueous systems but requires cool-phase addition below 30-40°C to preserve peptide structural integrity
Synergies
- hyaluronic acid
- glycerin
- other peptides
Conflicts
- strong oxidizing agents
- proteolytic enzymes
- extreme pH conditions
Safety
