So, I’ve been looking into Snap-8 peptide (heard it’s like liquid botox for your skin) and I’m curious if it actually does anything.

I’ve seen mixed reviews on Reddit and noticed people use it in different ways—some in serums/lotions, others micro-needling with it.

I’ve been pinning GHK-Cu and love it, but I’m wondering if Snap-8 would be a good addition. Topical of course.

Those who’ve tried it, how’s it been? Is it good? Noticed any real difference? Give me the tea.

Thanks <3
 
Mix Snap8 and GHK in a serum...two birds one stone. My skin looks like a miners boot so not sure if they make something strong enough for me.
 
I’m starting my skin serum project too. SNAP-8, GHK-Cu, Matrixyl and hyaluronic acid. I emptied out an eye dropper bottle and put the peps in there so I could dispense a few drops at a time onto my finger . Seems to be working well.
 
I’ve been doing topical Snap 8 and ghk consistently for 2 months - maybe it’s helping prevent the turkey neck inherited from my dad, I can’t be sure. From what I’ve read, it sounds more like a temporary lift than something that would give you longer lasting benefits like ghk. I’m using it everyday anyway, just because it was cheap.

However, the ghk has definitely helped my rosacea. I was using ivermectin cream for flareups and haven’t touched it in 2 months.
 
When mixed together, GHK-Cu decreases the effectiveness of Snap 8. You can either layer them, waiting 20 minutes between layers, or use one in the morning and one at night.
 
Source for SNAP 8? I was planning on grabbing some in my next order but I've seen some on domestic single vial peeps.

https://s1research.net/product/snap-8/

My china pricelist is showing 100mg for $45 (10x10mg). Looking at all the other prices on the above website I know that they are a normal 10x China. So what gives, where is the cheap SNAP 8 coming from?

Source for that? Not intending to offend just genuinely curious. I will also say I have never used a skin care product in my life other than sun screen so I have zero reference.
 
Snap-8 doesn't sound like anything that I would be interested in. Expressionless Botox face looks weird to me. From an AI search, SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a topical peptide designed to reduce expression wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, acting as a non-invasive, needle-free alternative to Botox. Often called "Botox in a jar," it works by inhibiting neurotransmitters, minimizing muscle contraction to soften lines on the forehead and around the eyes.

It's more theoretical than study-based. Copper can cause oxidation. Snap-8 is a delicate peptide and can be vulnerable to that.

When you buy a product that has them both, the sellers are (usually) better able to stabilize them and control pH. When mixing yourself without the proper chelators, antioxidants, or pH buffering, they could lose potency over time.

Idk about the 20 minute thing. I'm not finding whatever it was that I learned that from in the first place. Theoretically, though, applying them in two different serums is probably better than mixing into one.

Snap-8 is often advertised and "Botox in a bottle", but it doesn’t actually make your face expressionless like Botox, or work in the same way.

Botox is injected into muscles and temporarily blocks nerve signals, but SNAP-8 is just a topical peptide, and only slightly affects the signals at the surface. It doesn’t really go deep enough to reach the muscles, so it softens the look of expression lines a bit, but won’t freeze the muscles like Botox.

Topicals don't have that effect, because they're working at surface level for a temporary softening of expression lines, where Botox is injected into the facial muscles to "temporarily" paralyze them which allows other muscles to take over and the skin to have a chance to contract where deeper lines are forming. If I could get a topical to help cover my RBF, you betch'er ace I'd be bathing in it.

Same, because working with the public, one thing I know is, they will be saying some ridiculous shit to me, I’m going to include my co workers too🤦‍♀️

“What was that?”👸🏼

I tried to buy some snap 8 a couple of days ago, but I haven’t heard back on the total. (i was trying to tack on some tb500 and their Botox 👩‍🔬 maybe it’s a sign?)

What do you mix the snap with? just hyaluronic acid or just straight reconstituted?

I’m back on the ivermectin for my rosacea, the ghk helps but is not ivermectin, that stuff just sends all the little demodex mites to hell. I did switch to the horse paste and it works reeeeally good.
