99% Pure | USA Made | Multi DoseSnap-8, also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3, is a next-generation cosmetic research peptide often referred to as a topical Botox alternative in laboratory settings. It is an octapeptide derivative of the well-known Argireline® (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), designed for enhanced efficacy in reducing the depth of facial expression lines and wrinkles in research models. Unlike neurotoxins, Snap-8 operates by targeting the SNARE complex — a key mechanism in neurotransmitter release — thereby inhibiting facial muscle contractions without paralytic effects. Its topical research application focuses on wrinkle formation, dynamic muscle tension, and the aging process at the neuromuscular junction level. At Real Peptides, our Snap-8 peptide is ≥99% pure, U.S.-made, and third-party tested for research integrity.
Peptides are not ready to use. Must purchase BAC water for reconstitution.
Snap-8 is shown to interfere with SNARE complex formation, mimicking Botox-like effects in soft tissue studies.
By minimizing repetitive muscle contractions, it supports reduced wrinkle formation, particularly around the forehead and eyes.
Used in cosmetic research to improve overall skin texture and dermal tightness.
Unlike injectable neurotoxins, Snap-8 is researched fortopical administration, showing effects without invasive techniques.
Snap-8 is often combined with peptides like GHK-Cu or Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide) for compounded dermal regeneration.
Studies demonstrate neuromuscular relaxation effects without cell toxicity, opening doors for non-invasive aesthetic research.
Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is an advanced cosmetic peptide composed of eight amino acids. It is engineered to modulate the SNARE protein complex that governs muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release, making it a targeted research tool in wrinkle reduction and facial muscle relaxation. Snap-8 expands upon the Argireline® model (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) with enhanced functionality and broader efficacy in dynamic wrinkle areas.
Researchers select Snap-8 to explore non-invasive neuromuscular relaxation mechanisms relevant to facial aesthetics. Unlike neurotoxins like Botox® that require injection and act irreversibly, Snap-8 provides a reversible and topical research pathway. It has been shown in vitro and in clinical trials to reduce expression wrinkle depth by up to 63% in as little as 28 days of treatment in research models.
Additionally, its compatibility with topical serums, patches, and creams makes it ideal for transdermal delivery studies, expanding its application across diverse cosmetic testing fields.
Snap-8 is a synthetic octapeptide studied for its ability to reduce the depth of facial expression lines by inhibiting SNARE complex activity.
No — Snap-8 is an evolution of Argireline (Hexapeptide-8) with improved activity and a longer peptide chain for greater efficacy.
It is used in cosmetic peptide research to explore wrinkle depth reduction, facial relaxation, and topical anti-aging applications.
It is typically mixed with a sterile bacteriostatic solution and applied topically or via micro-needling in dermal models.
Injection is not the standard protocol; Snap-8 is researched primarily for topical use. However, lab models may test alternate delivery routes.
Reconstitute with 1–2mL of bacteriostatic water per vial and store at refrigerated temperatures. Use within a defined research period.
Yes — frequently stacked with GHK-Cu,Thymosin Beta-4, and Matrixyl for enhanced anti-aging effects.
Snap-8 mimics the mechanism of Botox by modulating neuromuscular activity — but does so without paralyzing muscle tissue or requiring injection.
Reduction in wrinkle depth, improved skin smoothness, enhanced elasticity, and non-invasive application in research models.
Lyophilized peptide remains stable for 24+ months when stored correctly; reconstituted versions should be used within 2–4 weeks.
Yes — research has explored crow’s feet, under-eye tension, and brow lines using Snap-8 peptides.
Real Peptidesoffers ≥99% purity, U.S.-tested Snap-8 peptide with full lab documentation.
While GHK-Cu focuses on skin regeneration and repair, Snap-8 targets facial muscle relaxation — making them complementary in stack research.
While not approved for use on humans, it is widely studied in aesthetic models for wrinkle and elasticity improvement.
When handled within standard laboratory protocols, Snap-8 is considered non-toxic and safe for topical application research.
