Dosing guide
| Level | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Entry strength | 5 % | 5% serums |
| Study-level | 10 % | 10% used in published trials |
Timing & cycling
Morning and/or night on forehead, crow's feet, and glabellar lines; under sunscreen in the day.
Cycle length. Continuous use; studies showing wrinkle-depth change ran 4 weeks and results fade after stopping.
Storage & handling
Keep topical peptide serums cool and out of direct light; many are best refrigerated to preserve activity. Follow the individual product's shelf life once opened.
Key points
- Acetyl hexapeptide-8 — the 'topical botox-like' peptide; it interferes with the SNARE complex locally at the skin level.
- Penetration is the limiting factor; formulation quality matters more than raw percentage.
What to monitor
Photos in identical lighting; the effect is a softening of expression lines, not a facelift.
Legal & prescription status
No prescription needed for the cosmetic form — it is an over-the-counter skincare/haircare ingredient found in serums and creams.
