Molecule53 launches India’s first and a highly potent anti-aging serum formulated with Argireline® peptide to promote smoother, firmer skin while significantly reducing the appearance of fine-lines and wrinkles.
What’s the hype?
The highly potent peptide- Argireline, gained immense recognition when it went viral worldwide first in 2021. It has gone viral multiple times since then owing to its ability to mimic the effects of BOTOX. In fact Tik-tok beauty influencers have raved about this ingredient and made it popular by the name “BOTOX in a Bottle”. However, this potent peptide was not available in India until Molecule53 launched the Argireline® Peptide Complex 10%.
What it does?
Argireline works by targeting the neuromuscular junctions in your skin, which is where your nerves and muscles meet. When applied topically, it relaxes these muscles, reducing their movement and preventing the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s often referred to as “BOTOX in a bottle” because it mimics the effects of BOTOX injections but without the needles.
Regular usage of this serum shows lasting results in wrinkle-reduction and preventive benefits, which helps to combat fine-lines and promote moisture levels in the skin. Helps prevent further signs of aging. Argireline is the 1st peptide that targets expression wrinkles and one can notice a 27% decrease in wrinkle depth in just 30 days.
This serum is easy to combine with any skin regimen and delivers great results when paired with retinol. It’s Paraben free, Sulphate free, Phthalate free, Fragrance free, and Vegan. Suitable to all skin types and made for Indian skin
How to use: Apply 2-4 drops post-cleansing, am & pm. To be applied before all other serums and creams. DO NOT pair this in the same routine with Vitamin C, AHAs, and BHAs.
Price: INR 1,250

PS: The main ingredient in Argireline is acetyl hexapeptide-3, a type of peptide that targets neuromuscular junctions to relax the muscles in the face. It works similar to Botox, blocking the communication between a nerve and a muscle to reduce the movements of that muscle.
