About
An acetylated eight-amino-acid peptide, sold for expression-line smoothing. Standard peptide safety profile; efficacy is supplier-claimed.
Acetyl octapeptide-57 is a synthetic octapeptide with an N-terminal acetyl group, positioning it in the "Argireline-like" family of peptides marketed for softening expression lines and relaxed-skin appearance. The acetyl cap often improves molecular stability versus free amine peptides. Used at low ppm levels in serums. No SCCS or CIR review for this specific peptide identified; supplier-commissioned studies form the basis of efficacy claims. No GHS hazards at cosmetic concentrations.
