It acts as an alternative to botulinum toxin, reducing wrinkles in a different way. It targets the mechanism responsible for muscle contraction, which helps to minimise expression lines. In addition, thanks to its ability to inhibit the release of neurotransmitters, reducing the release of glutamate by 32%, it prevents cell degeneration and protects the skin against external damaging factors. But its benefits are not just limited to wrinkle reduction, since continued use has been shown to reduce roughness by 20.4% after 28 days. Argireline is therefore a key ingredient in anti-ageing cosmetic products intended to enhance the skin’s appearance and health.
