Myristoyl Octapeptide-2  is a synthetic peptide composed of eight amino acids (octapeptide) with a myristoyl group attached, which enhances its lipophilicity, stability, and penetration into the skin. The myristoyl modification allows the peptide to more effectively reach target areas in the dermis, where it can exert its biological effects.
This peptide is primarily used in anti-aging and wrinkle-reduction skincare formulations. It works by modulating skin signaling pathways that affect muscle contraction and skin elasticity, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around sensitive areas such as the eyes and forehead.
