The details

Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester is a peptide composed of amino acids arginine and tyrosine . This peptide is considered a neurotransmitter peptide, meaning it has pain-relieving and relaxing properties. It has the ability to calm skin irritation from external factors such as chemical stinging or heat. Neurotransmitter peptides are also often called "botox in a bottle". This is because these peptides have the ability to relax the muscles. Though relaxing the muscles can prevent expression lines (as we have seen in botox), the studies do not show these peptides to be a botox replacement. The effects of this muscle relaxation is also short-term, as opposed to longer-term results from botox.
