Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, also known as Argireline®, is today considered one of the most powerful anti-wrinkle ingredients in functional cosmetics. Belonging to the class of biomimetic peptides, it acts as a topical “botox like”, helping to reduce expression wrinkles, especially in the eye contour and mouth area.
This peptide is a non-invasive cosmetic alternative to botulinum toxin, formulated to gently relax the subcutaneous muscles, reducing the microcontractions responsible for fine lines and early wrinkles.
How does it work?
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 inhibits the release of the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, acting on a key receptor (SNARE complex), safely and progressively. The result? A more relaxed, natural face, without loss of expressiveness.
Main benefits:
- Visible “botox like” smoothing effect after a few weeks
- 30% reduction of dynamic wrinkles in clinical studies
- Stimulates collagen synthesis and increases skin elasticity
- Prevents dehydration, improving the hydrolipidic barrier
- Suitable for sensitive skin, without side effects
Why is it one of the best peptides for wrinkles?
Compared to other peptides, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 stands out for its targeted action on expression lines, combining efficacy and gentleness. It is ideal for those who want an intensive anti-wrinkle treatment, with a visible lifting effect but non-invasive.
How to integrate Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 into the skincare routine?
Within the LeLang line, this active ingredient is present in high functional concentrations in our most advanced treatments, such as the Crema Perlage, the eye contour serum Formula Eyes, the serum Botoxil and the cream Vitis Cell eye contour. Clinical studies confirm its effectiveness already after 28 days of consistent use, making it one of the most recommended peptides by pharmacists and aesthetic doctors.
