ACETYL MONOFLUOROHEPTAPEPTIDE-1.

Valuable / SKIN PROTECTING

A synthetic biomimetic peptide engineered to mimic the muscle-relaxing effects of injectable neurotoxins through topical application. This fluorinated heptapeptide targets voltage-gated sodium channels to temporarily reduce facial muscle contractions, offering a non-invasive approach to smoothing dynamic wrinkles.

skin-protecting cell-communicating ingredient anti-aging

Science

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
