Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 is a synthetic peptide composed of six amino acids (hexapeptide) with an acetyl group at the N-terminal. It is primarily used in anti-aging cosmetic formulations due to its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
This peptide works by modulating muscle contractions in the skin, which helps relax facial expression lines (similar to a topical botulinum-like effect) and smooth out dynamic wrinkles over time. It is commonly included in creams, serums, and eye treatments for its wrinkle-reducing and skin-smoothing properties.
