I. Description
Acetyl hexapeptide-8, also known as Argireline, is used to decrease the visible effects of aging by reducing the deep wrinkles and lines around the forehead and eyes. Acetyl hexapeptide-8 is used in skin care products to reduce the appearance of wrinkles brought on by repeated facial expressions. When it comes to fine lines and wrinkles on the face, especially around the eyes and mouth; they usually form because of repeated facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or furrowing the brow in deep concentration or frustration. When people make these expressions, the face contorts based on the contraction of the muscles beneath the skin.

Chemically, when applied as a solution to specific areas of the face, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 inhibits the reactions that cause muscles to move or contract for example when forming facial expressions such as smiling or frowning. Acetyl hexapeptide-8 can temporarily get rid of wrinkles by intercepting messages from the brain, thereby preventing muscle contractions.
