What Makes Argireline® peptide So Special?
Since its launch in 2000, Argireline® peptide quickly established itself as one of the world's most acclaimed anti-wrinkle ingredients. Its effectiveness lies in its unique ability to emulate the biological pathway of Botulinum toxin type A (BTA) injections by disrupting the SNARE complex assembly, thereby decreasing acetylcholine release. This helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, providing smoother, younger-looking skin.
In 2020, Lubrizol launched Argireline® Amplified 肽, an evolution of the historical Argireline® peptide with superior activity and added muscle relaxation effects. Also reducing the appearance of age related changes in all skin layers for a multifunctional effect to globally enhance the skin appearance.
Argireline® Amplified peptide earned the 2022 Allē Award for Most Significant Anti-Aging Active, reinforcing its reputation for innovation and effectiveness in skincare.
A recent clinical studies have demonstrated that Argireline® Amplified peptide not only helps mimic the effect of BTA injections, but also can helpsignificantly extend their effects by 8 weeks.
Launched in 2023, Argireline® YOUth肽 was specifically developed for formulation into oil-based products such as makeup and sticks.

The peptide effectively minimized the appearance of expression lines without compromising natural facial expressions, reduced the visibility of wrinkles around the eyes, and smoothed the skin in the nasolabial and forehead regions. Additionally, it significantly diminished the appearance of "tech neck" lines, making it a versatile and powerful ingredient for maintaining youthful skin.
