How shoppers use the guide

SNAP-8 vs. the marketing language

SNAP-8 is not the same peptide as Argireline. SNAP-8 is Acetyl Octapeptide-3, while Argireline is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. When comparing products, check the exact ingredient name rather than relying only on phrases such as “peptide serum.”

What should you compare?

Look at peptide identity, concentration disclosure when available, supporting humectants, complete ingredient list, size and price. Avoid treating a topical cosmetic as equivalent to a medical procedure.
