Snap 8 10mg

Composition

• SNAP‑8 (Acetyl Octapeptide‑3) is a synthetic octapeptide, consisting of eight amino acids: Ac‑Glu‑Glu‑Met‑Gln‑Arg‑Arg‑Ala‑Asp‑NH₂.

  • It includes an acetylated N‑terminus (Ac‑) and an amidated C‑terminus (‑NH₂) to boost stability and resist enzymatic breakdown

• Designed to mimic part of the SNAP‑25 protein, SNAP‑8 interferes with the SNARE complex, which is essential for neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions—thereby gently relaxing facial muscles and helping reduce expression lines

Benefits

• Wrinkle reduction: Especially effective against dynamic expression lines—such as crow’s feet, forehead creases, and frown lines—through moderated muscle contractions

• Non-invasive alternative to Botox: Offers muscle-relaxing action similar to Botox but with topical application and no injections or “frozen” expressions

• Skin texture improvements: Enhances smoothness, elasticity, and hydration over consistent use

• Compatible with other actives: Works well with other anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and copper peptides

• Safety profile: Generally well-tolerated across skin types, with only rare and mild irritation in some cases

• Quantified results: Clinical observations show wrinkle depth reduction in the range of ~30% over several weeks, with some reports suggesting up to ~60% reduction in expression lines after around 28 days of regular use

Dosage Protocol

Note: SNAP‑8 is formulated for topical use only, not for injection. The following is based on current cosmetic research and application practices.

• Formulation concentrations:

  • Commonly used in serums or creams at 3–10% concentration, with most products starting around 3–5% for sensitive skin types

• Application frequency:

  • Apply twice daily—morning and evening—for consistent results

• Step-by-step usage routine:

  1. Cleanse and dry your skin.

  2. Apply SNAP‑8 (or a product containing it) to targeted expression line areas (e.g., forehead, crow’s feet, glabellar region).

  3. Follow with moisturizer or sunscreen, as needed

• Expected timeline:

  • Initial improvement often appears within 4–6 weeks.

  • Full results, such as up to ~30%–60% wrinkle reduction, may be visible in 8–12 weeks of consistent use

• Formulation tips (especially for DIY or protocol development):

  • Use water-based formulas (given SNAP‑8’s solubility) and maintain a pH of 4.5–6.5 to preserve peptide integrity

  • Store in a cool, dark place; reconstituted solutions should be refrigerated
