• SNAP-8 also known as Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is an elongated peptide composed of eight amino acids, developed as an extension of the Argireline sequence. This compound is studied as a topical, milder alternative to botulinum toxin by targeting the SNARE complex involved in muscle contraction.

By competing with the SNAP-25 protein, SNAP-8 is investigated for its ability to reduce repetitive facial muscle contractions associated with expression lines. It remains a key focus in cosmetic and skin-rejuvenation research for non-invasive anti-ageing applications.
