There has been a lot of buzz lately about Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-3), a peptide derived from proteins of collagen and elastin.

Argireline affects muscle contraction by relaxing and causing temporary muscle paralysis. The side effect of this is the inability to wrinkle and fold.

Argireline also stimulates collagen production to smooth out and plump the skin, and helps retain hydration in the skin, further improving skin health overall.

Products contain Argireline have been shown to give a “shrink wrap effect” immediately on the skin, especially around the eyes. Great for those who have puffy eyes.

Argireline is event more effective when paired with hyaluronic acid. The results of this combination are beautiful and can be seen instantly as soon as the product is absorbed in the skin.

There have not been negative side effects reported from this peptide, and it is safe for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

You can use products with Argireline daily, under your SPF or as a moisturizer or as a base.

A high quality product that combines Argireline and hyaluronic acid combo is called Solucao 1.4 by AlkemeRx. The product also comes with colloidal silver microspheres that are antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, ideal for oily or scarred skin.
