Also known as: Acetyl Octapeptide-3
Snap-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an extended version of argireline with an additional amino acid sequence. It inhibits the SNARE complex more effectively than argireline alone, providing greater reduction of expression lines. Clinical studies show significant reduction in wrinkle depth with regular use. Often combined with argireline for synergistic effects.
Comedogenicity ratings are based on the rabbit ear assay model. Individual skin responses vary. See our article on comedogenicity ratings for context.
