Argireline is made up of chains of amino acids. Such chains can affect how our cells work, e.g. relaxing our face muscles.It is derived from the peptide Acetyl hexapeptide-3, a substrate of Botulinum toxin, or more commonly known as Botox.

Efficacy and effect

Botox is a common, anti-wrinkle treatment which is applied using a needle. You may achieve the same anti-aging results with products which contain Argireline.

Argireline can help prevent the formation of wrinkles by inhibiting muscle movement in the face. Because of this, Argireline cream is sometimes known as “Botox in a jar.”

Mechanism

Although Argireline products and Botox can help fight and inhibit the signs of aging, both of them work differently.

When a muscle contracts, a vesicle, which is a super lipid, will release a neurotransmitter to the synapses. This then sends a neuro-signal for the muscle to move.

Three proteins, known as the SNARE complex, are necessary for the final stages of this muscle contraction process, called exocytosis. Acetyl hexapeptide-3, the peptide where Argireline is derived from, can help hinder this process.

The Argireline peptides in anti-aging products may inhibit the release of neurotransmitters which cause our muscles to contract.

When we apply Argireline directly on the skin, the body absorbs the Argireline peptide causing our facial muscles to relax. The cream’s chemical composition helps reduce the appearance of expression wrinkles and soothe fine lines.

Argireline has been found to be effective in fighting the signs of aging and helping reduce the appearance and depth of facial wrinkles. Argireline can also stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, both of which reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The loss of collagen and elastin is a natural part of the aging process, which can cause the skin to become less smooth, firm, and elastic.

Instructions

Argireline peptides don’t penetrate the skin as deeply as injected toxins do, because Argireline cream is applied only on the surface of the skin. The results of using Argireline cream are more subtle.

Anti-aging products with Argireline deliver results slowly and gradually, but you can still notice visible differences with continued use. People with thicker skin may not notice the difference as quickly as those who have comparably thinner skin.

Make sure to use a daily moisturizer like the Purple Tea Hydrating Cream which contains Argireline. This can help ensure that you’re giving your skin the daily anti-aging treatment it needs.
