SNAP-8

RESEARCH GUIDE

SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide
studied for its potential to reduce the appearance of
expression lines by inhibiting neurotransmitter release and supporting skin smoothness.

01. WHAT IS SNAP-8?

SNAP-8 is a synthetic octapeptide that acts as a modulator of SNARE (Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor Attachment protein REceptor) complex formation. By inhibiting neurotransmitter release, it may help reduce the appearance of dynamic expression lines and support a smoother complexion.
