It layers beautifully under sunscreen and makeup, leaving a soft, hydrated, never-greasy finish.

Roughly 20× the dose typically found in retail formulas.
How SNAP-8 works
A smarter peptide for expression lines.
- 01
An extended argireline
SNAP-8 is acetyl octapeptide-3, an eight-amino-acid peptide developed as an extended form of acetyl hexapeptide-8, better known as argireline.
- 02
The science behind expression lines
Expression lines form where skin folds again and again with everyday movements like smiling, squinting and frowning. Research suggests SNAP-8 modulates the SNARE complex, a group of proteins involved in the signals behind these repeated expressions.
- 03
What you can see
With daily use, expression lines on the forehead, around the eyes and in the frown area look softened, and skin looks smoother and more refined.
Why 0.1%: SNAP-8 is included at 0.1%, roughly 20× the dose typically found in retail formulas. It is gentle enough for every morning: smooth it on after cleansing and follow with sunscreen.
