Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Argireline, also known as Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, is a newer ingredient in skincare, ideal for maturing skin and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. Argireline is the brand name of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, a molecule formed principally of 6 amino acids (which in a row are called a peptide). It is synthetically produced in a lab, but there are no indications of any degree of toxicity and it is a favored compounds for maturing skin.

More Info
It’s taken the skincare market by storm, and for good reason. It is related to Botulinum Toxin, more commonly known as botox, and it acts in a similar but less dramatic fashion. It’s aiming for relaxation rather than paralysis. Daily use can reduce the appearance of wrinkles over the course of a month, so we are excited to use it.
