It delivers said anti-aging effects by intervening in the nerve-muscle communication, inhibiting the movement of facial muscles, preventing wrinkles from forming and reducing deeper set folds in the skin. Bonus points for the fact that also boosts collagen production, too.

10% argireline is the main active in this serum. It’s a proprietary solution of acetyl hexapeptide-8, a peptide compound targeting wrinkles by inhibiting muscle movement caused by repeated facial expressions.
