Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide with neurotransmitter-inhibiting properties which serves an anti-aging purpose in skincare products. Comprising six amino acids linked together, this peptide is recognized for its efficacy in reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines by inhibiting specific muscle movements. It is believed to work similarly to Botox but without the need for injections. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 enhances the appearance of expression lines, reduces muscle stiffness, and diminishes expression wrinkles. It is believed to interfere with the signals responsible for muscle contractions, leading to a temporary smoothing effect on the skin.
