SNAP-8 Peptide Serum — 9% High-Strength Expression Wrinkle Support
This advanced serum delivers **9% SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3/Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1)** in a premium vehicle, formulated to visibly reduce the look of expression-lines by moderating facial-muscle contraction and supporting smoother skin.
Key Active
- Peptide: SNAP-8 (Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1) [oai_citation:0‡HubMedEd](https://www.hubmeded.com/blog/snap-8-peptide-a-non-invasive-alternative-to-botox?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- Molecular weight: ~1,075 Da (octapeptide) [oai_citation:1‡Elite Labs Peptides](https://elitelabspeptides.com/product/snap-8/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- Concentration: 9% w/w — ultra-high strength for visible wrinkle-support results.
- Mechanism: Modulates the SNARE complex by competing with SNAP-25, thereby attenuating acetylcholine-mediated facial muscle contraction. [oai_citation:2‡Cellbone](https://cellbone.com/pages/acetyl-glutamyl-heptapeptide-1-snap-8%E2%84%A2?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
What It Does (Plain English)
- Targets expression-lines (forehead, crow’s feet, glabellar furrows) by reducing repeated muscle movement beneath the skin’s surface.
- Helps support smoother skin texture and more relaxed appearance over consistent use.
- A strong option for users who are familiar with peptide serums and want elevated performance.
Why 9% Strength?
- Industry information shows typical cosmetic concentrations of SNAP-8 range from ~3% to 10%. [oai_citation:3‡Scantifix](https://www.scantifix.com/products/snap-8?srsltid=AfmBOorp79oK1uz8nZdCwhA2UZXXCRrsQ8-IAVkPlDhMcekZqrrnhdYz&utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- At 9% you’re at the upper end of that range—this is designed for users seeking visible benefit from muscle-relaxation peptides.
Highlighted Study & Usage Insights
Expression Wrinkles & Muscle-Contraction Study Themes
- What was studied: Topical SNAP-8 serums/emulsions applied to wrinkles caused by facial muscle contraction (especially around the eyes/forehead). [oai_citation:4‡Minutehack](https://minutehack.com/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-snap-8-peptide?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- Outcomes reported: In some formulations, reduction in wrinkle depth up to ~-63% in specialized tests. [oai_citation:5‡HubMedEd](https://www.hubmeded.com/blog/snap-8-peptide-a-non-invasive-alternative-to-botox?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
- Interpretation: While promising, performance depends heavily on delivery system, peptide stability, and consistent use—users should expect gradual improvement rather than immediate “freeze” effect.
How to Use
- Apply at night or morning on clean, dry skin to the targeted areas (forehead, outer eye, mouth corners) or full face as preferred.
- Use 1–2 pumps or a pea-sized amount; follow with moisturizer if needed.
- Because this is a high strength peptide serum, if new to peptides start **every other night** for 1–2 weeks before nightly use.
- Always apply **broad-spectrum SPF** during daytime when using anti-aging actives.
Synergistic Peptides & Layering
GHK-Cu Serum
Matrix-support copper-peptide that pairs well (firming + muscle-relaxation combo).
Retinol 0.3-0.9% Serum
Use on alternate nights for renewal + muscle-relaxation support.
Hyaluronic Acid Multi-Weight Serum
Apply after SNAP-8 to lock-in hydration and buffer high-performance actives.
Specifications & Handling
| Texture | Lightweight serum (clear or lightly tinted) optimised for peptide delivery. |
|---|---|
| Packaging | Opaque/airless pump bottle to protect peptide integrity. |
| Storage | Store cool & dark; avoid prolonged heat/light exposure (peptide stability matters). |
| Size | [Insert your size: e.g., 30 mL / 1.0 fl oz] |
Known Considerations
- As a high-strength peptide serum, there may be increased chance of mild irritation—especially if layered with strong actives (acids, retinoids) without adaptation.
- Results will depend on formulation quality (vehicle, peptide integrity, packaging) and consistent use over weeks/months rather than overnight turnaround.
- For sensitive skin, patch test recommended before full-face use.
