SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3)

Snap-8 is a synthetic peptide that mimics the effects of Botox. It is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines by inhibiting acetylcholine, which relaxes the facial muscles and reduces the signals sent to those muscles by neurotransmitters. Snap-8 also promotes collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, and hydrates and nourishes the skin.

Benefits

  • Reduces the appearance of expression lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
  • Fills in fine lines and wrinkles
  • Provides long-lasting anti-aging benefits
  • Hydrates the skin
  • Safe and non-invasive alternative to cosmetic procedures
  • Strengthens your skin barrier—protecting against bacteria, pollution, toxins, and UV rays
  • Restores the body’s ability to produce collagen and elastin
  • Clinical trials showed an average wrinkle reduction of 30%-68% after one month of twice-daily use

Possible Side Effects

Snap-8 is generally well-tolerated, but mild irritation or redness may occur—especially at higher concentrations or when mixed with Retinoids or Vitamin C.

SNAP-8: 10MG

  • Mix SNAP-8: 10MG with 0.3mL–0.5mL (30–50 units) of BAC water
  • Topical Administration Only – “It Puts the Lotion on the Skin”
  • Apply once in the morning and once in the evening

Mixing & Application Instructions

  • Inject BAC water slowly into the peptide vial
  • Gently roll between palms to mix
  • Due to the low volume, let the vial sit 10–20 minutes to fully dissolve
  • If hard to extract with a syringe, use a large blue reconstitution syringe or 100-unit syringe slowly
  • Alternatively, remove the vial cap and pour contents into your skincare base
  • Add entire vial of SNAP-8 to a maximum of 1 ounce of skincare cream or serum

Complimentary Skincare Ingredients

To enhance the effects of SNAP-8, combine with:

  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Niacinamide
  • Argirelene
  • Leuphasyl
  • GHK-Cu or other topical copper peptides
  • Matrixyl 3000
  • Retinol*
  • Vitamin C*

* Caution: May cause irritation when combined at high concentrations. Perform patch test first.

Important Notes

  • Retinol and Vitamin C Warning: Always perform a patch test with SNAP-8 when using with Retinoids or Vitamin C to check for irritation before mixing the full vial
  • Do NOT use with:
    • Strong exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs)
    • Products with high pH
    • Vitamin A-based products

Stacking Suggestions

To maximize results and improve skin appearance across all layers:

  • GHK-Cu – Regenerates skin tissue, boosts collagen and elastin, powerful anti-aging peptide
  • Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8) – Works synergistically with Snap-8 to further reduce expression lines
  • Leuphasyl – Complements Snap-8 by relaxing facial tension and smoothing deep wrinkles
  • Matrixyl 3000 – Improves skin firmness and elasticity over time
  • Hyaluronic Acid – Deep hydration that plumps skin and enhances absorption
  • Niacinamide – Brightens skin tone, reduces pore size, and strengthens skin barrier

These combinations offer a full-spectrum skincare solution targeting wrinkles, fine lines, hydration, elasticity, and barrier repair. Ideal for anti-aging, preventative, and rejuvenation protocols.
