Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 / Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Relaxes facial muscle micro-contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Often called "topical Botox" — works by interfering with the neurotransmitter release cycle at the neuromuscular junction, gently softening expression lines over 4–8 weeks of consistent use. Most effective at 5–10% concentration.
At these concentrations this ingredient should appear above the 1% line on the INCI list. If you see it listed after preservatives or fragrance allergens, the dose is likely too low to work as marketed.
Topical serum 5–10%. Apply before moisturiser, AM and/or PM on damp skin. Most effective around crow's feet, forehead and between brows.
