Syn-Ake

Syn-Ake (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate) is a synthetic tripeptide that mimics the effect of Waglerin-1, a peptide found in Temple Viper venom. It's used in cosmetics for anti-wrinkle effects.

Mechanism of Action

Acts as a competitive antagonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, reducing muscle contractions similar to Botox but through a different mechanism. Provides muscle-relaxing effects when applied topically.

Typical Dosage (Research)

Topical: 1-4% concentration in serums or creams. Applied 1-2 times daily to target areas like forehead and crow's feet.

Topical application only. Should be applied to clean skin. Often combined with other anti-aging peptides for synergistic effects.

Side Effects & Risks

Generally well-tolerated topically. Rare reports of mild skin irritation or sensitivity.

Effects are milder and slower than injectable treatments. Quality varies significantly between commercial products.

Who Uses Syn-Ake

Those seeking topical wrinkle reduction, individuals wanting needle-free anti-aging options, skincare enthusiasts.
