Pentapeptide 18 in skin care
Pentapeptide-18 is a common synthetic bioactive peptide, often used in anti-aging skin care products. It can reduce dynamic wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet by regulating muscle contraction signals. Its working principle is a bit like the effect of “botulinum toxin”, but it is more precise than acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline)

Applications of Pentapeptide-18
Widely used in cosmetics, it is particularly effective in anti-wrinkle and anti-aging products. It mimics the natural pathway of endorphins, reducing expression lines.
Most commonly used in combination with acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), it is designed to work in conjunction with botulinum toxin type A injections. Complements the effect of BoNT-A between sessions, it enhances, maintains, and prolongs the anti-wrinkle effect of botulinum toxin type A, enhancing its anti-aging efficacy, achieving up to three times the effect of a single injection.
Lubrizol’s Argirelox™ uses this formula.
Recommended use level for Pentapeptide-18 Solution is 100-1000 PPM.
Both are anti-wrinkle products that reduce the appearance of fine lines and have similar effects, but their mechanisms of action are different. It is generally recommended to use them together in combination for better results.
