Product Description
SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3)
SNAP-8 is a topical, Botox-like anti-wrinkle peptide—a potent, upgraded version of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline). I. Basic Information
Full Name: Acetyl Octapeptide-3
CAS No.: 868844-74-0
Structure: 8 amino acids (longer and more stable than Hexapeptide-8)
Category: Neurotransmitter-inhibiting Peptide (Neuro-cosmetic Peptide)
Appearance: White lyophilized powder / Solution
Purity: ≥99% (Cosmetic Grade)

II. Mechanism of Action (Botox-like, yet gentler)
Mimics the SNAP-25 protein → Interferes with the SNARE complex → Inhibits acetylcholine release
Gently relaxes muscles: Attenuates the contraction of facial expression muscles (non-paralyzing)
Addresses wrinkles at the source: Reduces dynamic lines caused by facial expressions
Reversible and Safe: Effects are temporary and reversible; no stiffness or "mask-like" facial appearance
III. Core Efficacy (The King of Anti-Wrinkle Peptides)

After 7 days: Wrinkles reduced by approximately 21%
After 28 days: Wrinkle depth reduced by 34.98%–63%
Prevents static lines: Stops expression lines from evolving into permanent, deep wrinkles
Smoothes and rejuvenates skin: Improves skin texture and firmness
Gentle and Safe: Suitable for sensitive skin and the eye area; non-comedogenic and non-irritating
