Description
Pentapeptide-3, commercially known as Vialox, is a potent muscle-relaxing pentapeptide that provides rapid, visible wrinkle reduction. It acts as a competitive antagonist at postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, reducing signal transmission that triggers subdermal muscle contractions.
Vialox's rapid onset (visible effects within 2 hours) sets it apart from slower-acting anti-wrinkle peptides. Clinical testing demonstrates up to 49% reduction in crow's feet wrinkle depth and 47% reduction in forehead line roughness after 28 days of twice-daily application.
Derived from a synthetic analog of snake venom proteins, designed for topical safety while maintaining high receptor affinity. Water-soluble, compatible with most cosmetic bases, and effective at 3-5% in finished products.
COSPEP supplies pharmaceutical-grade Pentapeptide-3 with rigorous quality control. Every batch includes comprehensive analysis, stability data, and technical support for commercial formulation development.
