Acetyl Hexapeptide

The trademark name for Acetyl Hexapeptide is Argireline. It is also called a neuropeptide. This is the product that is marketed as “an alternative to Botox”, because it claims to relax certain types of facial wrinkles by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters.

In a clinical study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, argireline at a 10% concentration was reported to reduce the depth of wrinkles up to 30% after 30 days of use.

Since the product would have to absorb all the way to the muscle cells (not likely) to have a Botox-like effect, there is really no way they can be a true alternative to Botox. Some people do report great results from using it, but it is basically an unproven ingredient that is strictly optional for an anti-aging skin care routine. If you do want to give it a try, look for it in a multi-tasking product that will provide you other benefits as well - some are listed below.
