INHIBITS WRINKLE FORMATION

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is a unique new peptide that both reduces the degree of existing facial wrinkles and has been demonstrated effective against their development. It's been shown to inhibit the formation of the SNARE complex as well as catecholamine release. These inhibitions confer anti-aging activity on Acetyl Hexapeptide-3; they closely relate to the basic biochemical mechanisms of wrinkle formation.

Controlled studies have also demonstrated that facial wrinkle depth can be reduced, especially in the forehead and around the eyes, and that Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 can prevent apparent facial skin aging. Skin topographic analysis performed on healthy female volunteers confirmed the validation of the proposed biochemical mechanism of action.

COSMETIC APPLICATION

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 can be incorporated in cosmetic formulations such as emulsions, gels, sera, etc., where the reduction in deep lines or wrinkles in the forehead or around the eyes area is desired. The recommended dosage of Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is 5%.

END APPLICATION
