Beauty Classroom: Getting to know an ingredient: Acetyl Hexapeptide

English Name: Acetyl Hexapeptide
Alias: "Botox-like" peptide
👉🏻 A small molecular peptide composed of six amino acids
👉🏻 Relaxes facial muscles by blocking nerve signaling
👉🏻 Because its mechanism of action is similar to "Botox" but it is not a toxin and does not cause paralysis, it is known as a "Botox-like" peptide
👉🏻 Can reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by habitual expressions, such as crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines

Benefits of Acetyl Hexapeptide for the skin:

👉🏻 Promotes collagen production
⭐️ Able to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen synthesis
⭐️ Maintains skin elasticity and firmness
⭐️ Helps to slow down wrinkles, sagging, and drooping

👉🏻 Softens dynamic expression lines
⭐️ Inhibits excessive muscle contraction
⭐️ Improves expression lines such as forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and nasolabial folds

👉🏻 Antioxidant protection
⭐️ Provides antioxidant benefits, neutralizing free radicals
⭐️ Protects the skin from environmental stressors
⭐️ Slows down the skin aging process

👉🏻 Promotes epidermal renewal
⭐️ Stimulates the renewal of epidermal cells
⭐️ Removes aged epidermal cells
⭐️ Makes the skin smoother

Who should use Acetyl Hexapeptide:
✨ Dynamic expression lines: To inhibit excessive muscle contraction and reduce dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles
✨ Early signs of aging / mature skin: To prevent skin aging and slow down signs of aging
✨ Individuals concerned about Botox injections: To achieve similar smoothing effects in a non-invasive, needle-free way
✨ Sensitive skin: For those who cannot use Retinol but want gentle anti-aging care

Things to note when using Acetyl Hexapeptide:
👉🏻 Perform a patch test: Always conduct a skin patch test before use (apply a small amount to the inner arm or behind the ear and observe for 24 hours).
👉🏻 Effects are cumulative: Peptide skincare takes time; it is generally recommended to use it continuously for over four weeks for visible results.
👉🏻 Cannot replace injectables: The effects are gentler and more natural and cannot achieve the immediate, powerful contouring results of medical aesthetic injections.
👉🏻 Cannot erase static wrinkles: It has limited effects on deep-set static wrinkles (lines visible even without expression); you may need to combine it with fillers or ingredients like Retinol.
👉🏻 Be mindful of ingredient pairing: While compatible with most ingredients, mixing it with high-concentration strong acids (like high-strength AHAs) may affect the stability of the peptide structure.
