If you're a fan of anti-ageing moisturisers and serums (and let’s be honest here, who isn’t?), you may think you know all there is to know about the secrets of smooth, wrinkle-free skin. But the name ARGIRELINE® peptide probably doesn’t trip off your tongue, even though it’s bound to be a key ingredient in your most effective anti-ageing weapons. Yes, it’s one of the cosmetic industry’s best-kept secrets – until now...
ARGIRELINE® peptide (aka acetyl hexapeptide-8) was introduced to the beauty industry back in 2001. After 10 years of scientific research, Lipotec came up with the peptide as a non-invasive, safer alternative to using injectables such as botulinum toxin to reduce the appearance of expression wrinkles – and with the bonus of noticeable effects on skin within one week of use.
Today, 17 years on from its groundbreaking launch, ARGIRELINE® peptide is a vital element in many of the most effective, in-demand anti-ageing treatments out there. And if the big beauty brands love it, then so does your skin – ARGIRELINE® peptide helps relax the muscles responsible for the formation of expression lines, keeping your face smooth and crease-free. Result!
In tests performed by the brand, wrinkle volume diminished by 20.6% on average, while roughness and depth of wrinkles were also proved in further clinical studies to have decreased.
So fear not, Lipotec and ARGIRELINE® peptide may be new names to you, but together they’re a secret wrinkle- fighting weapon helping you to look younger every day.
