Description
Snap-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) | 10 mg
Class: Topical Neuropeptide / Neurotransmitter-Inhibiting Peptide
Snap-8 is an elongated octapeptide analogue derived from the parent hexapeptide Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8). Mimicking the N-terminal fragment of SNAP-25, Snap-8 competitively integrates into the SNARE (Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor Attachment protein REceptor) complex. By destabilizing vesicle fusion, it blocks the calcium-dependent exocytosis of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, attenuating localized micro-contractions to visibly relax expression lines, dynamic wrinkles, and peri-orbital creases.
Key Research Findings & Properties
-
Targeted Neurotransmitter Inhibition: Competitively binds SNARE proteins to dampen acetylcholine release at the cellular level.
-
Superior Octapeptide Efficacy: Demonstrates roughly 30% higher potency in dynamic wrinkle depth reduction compared to earlier hexapeptide iterations.
-
Non-Paralytic Smoothing: Softens deep expression lines (forehead, crow’s feet, nasolabial lines) while preserving cellular facial tone and natural movement.
-
Topical Versatility: High structural stability across water-based cosmetic serums, gels, and micro-needling transdermal formulations.

“Great experience overall. The Reta itself seems super high grade. Took one extra day to get out to Calgary because of a weekend, but support was quick to reply to my email.”

“Nobody sells this locally and every other site charges out the a**. Found these guys, paid with e-transfer, and had the product at my door in 2 days. Dissolved clean and didn’t get killed on price. Definitely ordering again.”
