The second most studied cosmetic peptide — often called "topical Botox" because it targets the same SNARE protein complex that botulinum toxin acts on, partially reducing muscle contractions that cause expression lines.

How do you take it?
These are typical doses from research and real prescriptions — not a recommendation for you specifically. Your provider will adjust based on your body, your goals, and your health history.
How well researched is this?
Growing Evidence (Some Human Studies)
Published clinical studies confirm measurable wrinkle depth reduction at studied concentrations. Evidence is meaningful for a cosmetic peptide, though effect size is significantly smaller than that of botulinum toxin injection.
Legal status
Currently restricted by the FDA and cannot be legally compounded. This status may change — we'll update this page when it does.
2026 reclassification status updates coming soon.
Purity
