About this ingredient
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide that mimics the effects of botulinum toxin by inhibiting neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction, thereby reducing facial muscle contractions that cause expression wrinkles. It is commonly used in anti-aging skincare products to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the forehead and around the eyes, without invasive procedures.
