ACETYL OCTAPEPTIDE-3 OLIGOPEPTIDE-133.

Valuable / SKIN CONDITIONING

A sophisticated neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide complex that mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 protein to deliver Botox-like wrinkle reduction without injections. This dual-peptide system destabilizes the SNARE complex responsible for muscle contractions, effectively smoothing expression lines through topical application.

anti-aging skin conditioning wrinkle reduction

Science

Competes for binding sites in the SNARE complex by mimicking SNAP-25, disrupting acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions and reducing facial muscle contractions that cause expression wrinkles
