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.
