Acetyl hexapeptide-3

Acetyl hexapeptide-3 softens the look of wrinkles, lessens skin roughness, and boosts skin hydration. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and comes in serums, creams, eye creams, and masks. It fits well into a routine with panthenol, green tea, and ceramide-building complex, but you should keep it apart from adapalene, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide.
