Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 has been studied for its interaction with SNARE complex formation, which is why it is grouped with the expression-line peptides rather than the collagen-support ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier's efficacy work reports improvement in the appearance of fine lines at a 2% concentration, with measured reductions in wrinkle depth and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese findings are the manufacturer's, from their efficacy dossier, and are reproduced here under our licence agreement with them.

Each works on the look of expression lines through a different route, so combining them is not doubling up on the same thing.
