Snap-8
Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1
Snap-8 is a synthetic octapeptide derived from SNARE complex proteins that provides advanced cosmetic anti-aging benefits through topical application. It works by modulating neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions, reducing facial muscle contraction intensity and preventing expression line formation. This innovative peptide offers a non-invasive alternative to injectable treatments, delivering visible wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation through twice-daily topical application.

Step-by-Step Dosing Protocol
Dosing Guidelines
Begin with 0.5% concentration twice daily for skin adaptation, progress to 2.5% after 2 weeks, then advance to therapeutic 5% concentration by week 5. Maintenance therapy uses 5-10% concentrations based on skin tolerance and desired results. Apply thin layer to target areas (forehead, periorbital region, nasolabial folds) avoiding direct eye contact.
Start with a weak 0.5% concentration twice a day to let your skin get used to it. After 2 weeks, increase to 2.5%, then to 5% after a month. Most people use 5% for maintenance, but you can go up to 10% if your skin handles it well. Apply a thin layer to problem areas like forehead and around eyes, but don't get it directly in your eyes.
Mixing & Injection
