2. Use:

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is commonly used in anti-aging skincare products to target expression lines, such as crow's feet and forehead wrinkles. It works by blocking the release of neurotransmitters that cause facial muscles to contract, resulting in smoother and firmer skin.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is typically found in serums, creams, and lotions designed for daily use. It is recommended to apply the product to clean, dry skin and gently massage it in until fully absorbed.

Some individuals may experience mild tingling or redness upon initial use, but this is usually temporary and should subside with continued use.
