Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) (200mg)
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 — sold cosmetically as Argireline — mimics the N-terminal fragment of SNAP-25. In cell studies it competes with native SNAP-25 for a position in the SNARE complex, which is why it appears throughout topical formulation research.

About Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) (200mg)
The 200mg fill is a formulation-scale quantity rather than an assay-scale one; at typical cosmetic use levels a single vial covers a substantial batch of test formulations.
Like everything in the Cosmetic peptides range, this vial is lyophilized, sealed, and accompanied by third-party purity documentation for its batch.
Research applications
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) (200mg) appears in the following research contexts. These are descriptions of published laboratory work, not instructions for use:
- SNARE complex assembly assays
- Topical cosmetic formulation research
- Peptide stability and penetration studies

Handling, reconstitution and storage
Store the sealed vial of lyophilized Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 at -20°C, protected from light. Allow it to reach room temperature before opening so that moisture does not condense onto the powder.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and swirl instead of shaking — mechanical agitation is the most common cause of degradation in peptide handling. Keep reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and validate its working life for your own assay conditions.
Frequently asked questions
- How is Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) (200mg) supplied and stored?
- It ships as a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. Store the lyophilized product at -20°C protected from light; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2-8°C and use it within the window your protocol validates.
- Is a certificate of analysis available?
- Yes. Every batch is independently tested by a US laboratory and verified to exceed 99% purity by HPLC/MS. Request the COA for your batch number and we will send the report.
- How long does delivery take?
- Orders dispatch within two business days. Delivery is free within the USA on orders over $200.
- Can Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) (200mg) be used in humans or animals?
- No. This product is sold strictly for research, laboratory and analytical purposes. Human and animal consumption is prohibited.
