Argireline

Argireline, also known as botulinum toxin, is an oligopeptide that mimics the 6 amino acids at the N-terminus of the SNAP-25 protein. Argireline is one of the commonly used raw materials for high-end cosmetics. Its main function is to reduce wrinkles caused by the contraction of facial expression muscles. It has an ideal effect on removing wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes. Argireline is a safer, cheaper and milder alternative to botulinum toxin. Argireline competes for the site of SNAP-25 in the melt vesicle complex, thereby affecting the formation of the melt vesicle complex, resulting in the inability of the vesicle to effectively release neurotransmitters, weakening muscle contraction, and then relaxing muscles, soothing fine lines to make the skin clear and flawless, and can also promote cell regeneration to restore the skin’s softness and elasticity. Therefore, it is widely used in the preparation of cosmetics and health products.
