Acetyl Octapeptide-3

Also known as: SNAP-8 · Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-3

Related-compound evidence only

Grade describes the published research on the molecule. It is not a quality score, a safety score, or a release state.

What this is

Acetyl octapeptide-3 is the INCI ingredient marketed as SNAP-8. It is not acetyl hexapeptide-8, despite both being positioned around SNAP-25-related cosmetic concepts.

Evidence position

The exact chemical record is clear, but the independent clinical record is weak. That supports Grade D.

What the record does not establish

Related Argireline studies, manufacturer panels and combination creams do not prove the performance or identity of a SNAP-8-labelled powder.
