Product Description
1. MOA - Mechanism of Action
Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is a biomimetic peptide specifically designed to mimic the body's natural mechanism for reducing muscle contractions that lead to expression lines and wrinkles. Its mechanism of action is highly targeted and sophisticated:
Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is a biomimetic peptide specifically designed to mimic the body's natural mechanism for reducing muscle contractions that lead to expression lines and wrinkles. Its mechanism of action is highly targeted and sophisticated:
Neurotransmitter-Inhibiting Peptide (Flattening Effect):
*The dipeptide core structure is analogous to the C-terminal end of the SNAP-25 protein. SNAP-25 is a key component of the SNARE complex, which is essential for the release of neurotransmitters (like acetylcholine) from nerve endings to muscle cells.
*By mimicking this structure, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester acts as a competitive inhibitor. It interferes with the formation of the SNARE complex, thereby reducing the excessive release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
*This results in a relaxation of facial micro-contractions, similar to the mechanism of injectable neurotoxins but in a topical, non-paralytic form. It effectively "softens" the repetitive muscle movements that cause dynamic wrinkles (e.g., crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines).
Acetyl Group & Cetyl Ester (Penetration & Efficacy):
*The Acetyl group enhances the peptide's stability and biomimicry.
*The Cetyl Ester (a long-chain fatty alcohol ester) is crucial for lipid solubility, enabling the peptide to effectively penetrate the stratum corneum and reach its target sites in the deeper layers of the skin.
2. In Vitro Efficacy Data
Inhibition of Neurotransmitter Release: In vitro studies on neuronal cell models have demonstrated that Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester can significantly reduce the release of acetylcholine in a dose-dependent manner, confirming its primary mechanism of action.
Cytotoxicity & Safety: The ingredient has shown excellent tolerance in standard cytotoxicity assays (e.g., on human fibroblast cultures), indicating its safety for cosmetic use at recommended concentrations.
Stability Studies: The molecule demonstrates high stability in various cosmetic formulations (emulsions, serums) under standard storage conditions, ensuring its efficacy throughout the product's shelf life.
3. Clinical Results
Multiple clinical studies, including double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, have validated the efficacy of products containing 2-10% Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester.
Reduction in Wrinkle Depth and Volume:
Study 1: A 28-day study with a formula containing 5% of the ingredient showed a statistically significant reduction in wrinkle depth (up to -27%) in the crow's feet area, as measured by skin replicas and image analysis.
Study 2: A 56-day study demonstrated a continuous improvement, with a reduction in wrinkle volume by over 30% in the periocular region.
Reduction in Wrinkle Severity (Clinical Scoring):
Dermatologist clinical grading confirmed a visible decrease in the severity of expression lines on the forehead and glabella (between the eyebrows). Participants were rated as having "smoother" and "more relaxed" skin.
High-Resolution Ultrasound:
Ultrasound imaging of the skin has shown a measurable decrease in the hyper-contractility of the underlying muscles, providing objective evidence of its "Botox-like" activity.
Safety Profile
Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester has an excellent safety profile. It is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and well-tolerated, even by subjects with sensitive skin. It is not a drug and does not cause systemic effects.
Synergistic Combinations

Recommended Dosage & Formulation
Recommended Usage Level: 2% to 10% in the final product.
*A level of 2-5% is effective for general anti-wrinkle claims.
*A level of 5-10% is recommended for targeted, high-performance products focusing on deep expression lines (e.g., "anti-aging concentrates," "wrinkle relaxer serums").
Recommended Formulations:
Serums & Concentrates: Ideal for high-dose, targeted treatments.
Eye Creams & Gels: Perfect for addressing crow's feet.
Day/Night Creams & Lotions: For overall facial smoothing and preventative care.
Patches/Masks: For intensive, localized application.
