A synthetic peptide modeled on the Temple Viper's venom — relaxes facial muscles, mimicking Botox at a fraction of the cost.
What It Does
Relaxes muscle tensionReduces expression lines
Deep Dive
SYN-AKE mimics the action of waglerin-1, a peptide from Temple Viper venom that binds nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions. In cosmetic form, it's synthetic — no actual snake venom involved. Limited clinical data but some evidence of reduced expression-line depth over 8–12 weeks of twice-daily use. Usually found in anti-aging serums alongside other peptides.
Best For
Mature
Effective Concentration
1–4% typical. Often marketed as "snake venom peptide".
