SNAP-8 SNAP-8

A cosmetic peptide related to Argireline but longer-lasting, used in anti-wrinkle skin creams to relax tiny facial muscles. Manufacturer-backed studies report modest wrinkle improvements with topical use; it has no established use anywhere else in the body.

Also known as Acetyl octapeptide-3, Ac-glu-glu-met-gln-arg-arg-ala-asp-nh2, 8K14HJF88S, Acetyl octapeptide-1, SNAP8, Acetyl Glutamyl Octapeptide-3?, orb1685530, C41H70N16O16S
