ARGIRELINE 5 g

Argireline - the main peptide in cosmetology

Argireline peptide solution C from the Spanish company Lipotec is one of the effective and proven over the years peptides that effectively fights against expression lines. It is what is considered to be the safest alternative to Botox. The product is the first hexapeptide that mimics the N-terminal end of SNAP-25. Argireline competes with this protein for a place in the SNARE complex. The short protein, which is made up of a number of amino acids, eliminates and smooths wrinkles in a non-invasive way without the need for injections.

What are peptides, into which groups they are divided and a summary table for easy selection of the component is presented in Blog Beurre "Peptides and their use in cosmetics". We would also like to specify that the analogues of Argireline myorelaxant are peptides from the same group Syn-ake and X50 Myocept.

Characteristics of the component and specifics of use

INCI: Water (Aqua), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8(0.045 – 0.055%), Caprylyl Glycol Dosage: 2 - 10%

Use: dissolve in water, in the active phase or inject immediately into a warm emulsion.

It is recommended to administer the peptide at temperatures up to 40°C, but it remains stable at 70°C for 2 hours. The pH of the finished product should be in the range of 3.0 - 7.5. Combination with up to 50% ethanol is permitted.

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Long-term storage is recommended at a temperature of +2 to 8 C. Temporary transport at other temperatures is allowed and does not affect the quality of the product. Do not freeze.

How cream or serum with argireline acts on the skin

Let's first understand what aging is and what types of wrinkles there are. The main sign of aging is the appearance and deepening of wrinkles on the face. This is a natural process that cannot be stopped completely, but can be slowed down. Bad ecology, heredity, mimic movements, improper diet and other factors contribute to the deepening of wrinkles. The first wrinkles you see are the facial folds associated with constant contractions of facial muscles: goose bumps from smiling, forehead creases from surprise, wrinkles around the mouth from smiling. They first begin to appear in women after the age of 25, because the muscles contract but do not relax. This is what contributes to the deepening of wrinkles. But Argireline helps to cope with this problem by having a relaxing effect on the muscles, thus preventing creases in the skin caused by constant active facial expressions. 

Properties of muscle relaxant peptides

Muscle contraction occurs when the process of releasing a neurotransmitter from a vesicle occurs. In simpler terms, it is called "neural exocytosis." Peptides that replace Botox block this release and relax your muscle. Therefore, such peptides are also called muscle relaxants, because they send muscles to rest. Cosmetics with such peptides are effective only when used locally in areas of expression wrinkles, but do not help with age wrinkles that appear as a result of weakening tissue tone. Using such a cream on the eyelid area above the eyes or the cheek area can only make things worse, because muscle relaxation in this area can contribute to sagging skin.

Recipe for cosmetics with Argireline 

Most often women wonder at what age to start preparing cosmetics with peptides. But there are no clear guidelines regarding age limits. Most often peptides are used as intended, because "severe" girls in their 30s can have a pronounced interbrow crease, and in girls "giggles" the network of wrinkles around the eyes becomes noticeable earlier than 30 years old. However, if you have problems not only with wrinkles but also with general skin ageing, then it is recommended to combine peptides-myorelaxants with another group of peptides that stimulate the production of collagen fibres: these are Syn-coll, Matrixyl 3000 and Matrixyl synthe 6. These components revitalise the structure of the skin from within, rejuvenating it and giving it elasticity. 
 

Argireline application specifics 

The recommended input % is 3-10%. You should start using it with the lowest dosage - 3%. The course of use of the peptide - 1-2 months, as during the first weeks of use the active accumulates in the skin and the result of its action will not be seen before 30 days. However, at the maximum dosage of the active in the cosmetic preparation, you may feel an immediate "freezing" effect in the place of application of cosmetics. Never apply Argireline to the skin undiluted and always clearly follow the dosage of the injection. Do not apply the preparation intramuscularly - it is intended for external use only. 
 

Effect after application 

Argireline in cosmetics is an effective peptide that has a number of advantages. These cosmetic actions have been claimed by the manufacturer of the peptide based on in vitro and in vivo tests: 

• effective in slowing down the release of glutamate 
• effective in combating fine lines and wrinkles 
• a safe and cost-effective alternative to Botox injections 
• wrinkle depth is reduced by about 17% after 2 weeks of use. 
• the greatest reduction in wrinkle depth is up to 32%.
