At Aminu, we have pioneered innovative skincare solutions, making cutting-edge peptides accessible to skincare enthusiasts in India. Since our inception, we've actively created awareness about these powerful compounds, beginning with the success of Copper Peptides. Now, we're excited to introduce another effective ingredient that's been integral to our better-aging solutions since 2021 Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, commonly known as Argireline.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is often called a "wrinkle relaxer" or "Botox in a bottle" But what does that really mean? Simply put, it mimics the effects of botulinum toxin (Botox) by helping to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. It does this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters that trigger facial muscle contractions (the ones caused by our everyday expressions like smiling or frowning).

Why We Love Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

You might be wondering why we’ve chosen to incorporate this powerhouse ingredient into our better-aging serums. Here are a few compelling reasons:

Preventive Action: It’s not just about treating existing wrinkles; Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 helps prevent new ones from forming by easing muscle tension over time.

Who Can Benefit from It?

Great news! Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is well-tolerated by most skin types and is safe for topical use. However, keep in mind that results may vary depending on the concentration and formulation. So, whether you’re just starting your skincare journey or you’re a seasoned enthusiast, this ingredient is worth considering!

Which Aminu Product Features Acetyl Hexapeptide-8? 

If you’re curious about where to find this amazing ingredient, check out our Regenerating Serum. This serum is enriched with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 to help build up collagen, making skin firmer and more elastic while softening wrinkles and bringing you one step closer to aging gracefully and truly loving the skin you’re in.

How Does It Work?

Acetyl hexapeptide-8 works by interfering with the nerve signals responsible for facial muscle contractions, particularly in areas prone to expression lines like your forehead and around your eyes. Minimizing these contractions, it helps reduce the depth and visibility of wrinkles caused by those repetitive facial movements.

Embrace the power of this dermatologist's favorite ingredient and take a step closer to achieving the youthful, radiant skin you deserve. With Aminu’s innovative formulations, loving your skin has never been easier!
