SNAP-8® (Acetyl Octapeptide-3)

SNAP-8® (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is one of O COSMEDICS’ Core Four functional actives selected for its targeted ability to soften the look of expression lines without compromising natural facial movement. As a next-generation biomimetic peptide, SNAP-8® is designed to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles supporting a more youthful and smooth skin.

SNAP-8® is a highly stable octapeptide engineered for purity, consistency and superior skin affinity. Its eight-amino-acid structure allows more precise line smoothing action.

By accumulatively blocking the excessive release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction, SNAP-8® helps soften the visible lines created through repeated expression, particularly across the forehead, eyes and mouth. This makes it a cosmedical must-have for age management skin longevity.

Benefits For The Skin

  • Helps visibly reduce expression lines caused by repetitive muscle movement
  • Helps soften dynamic wrinkles (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet)
  • Assists in relaxing the look of facial muscle tension for a more youthful appearance
  • Supports long-term skin longevity with accumulative use
  • Works synergistically with multi-peptide systems (including V8 Peptide Complex®)
  • Highly tolerable peptide suitable for most skins, including compromised

Form, Stability & Delivery

SNAP-8® is a stable, water-soluble peptide that is easily integrated into formulations working seamlessly with delivery systems whilst maintaining stability and purity.

How SNAP-8® (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) Works - Made Simple

1. Reduces the Intensity of Muscle Contraction Signals
SNAP-8® gently decreases muscle contraction so lines formed from expression appear softer.

2. Visibly Softens Expression Lines
By slowing tension in movement-prone areas, the skin’s surface appears smoother and less creased.

3. Supports Long-Term Youth Management
Consistent use helps address the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Works Synergistically With Other Peptides
SNAP-8® enhances the performance of O’s V8 Peptide Complex® and multi-vitamin systems supporting cell optimisation and skin longevity.
