Protocols · Cosmetic
Snap-8 is a cosmetic-ingredient peptide designed to interfere with SNARE-complex formation, marketed as a topical alternative to neuromodulator injections. Its evidence is manufacturer-sponsored cosmetic testing rather than independent trials.

Every figure on this page is a range reported in published literature or in a publicly documented study protocol. It is a record of what researchers used, not a recommendation, a therapeutic protocol, or advice. Peptide Intel Hub is an independent publication, sells nothing, and describes these compounds as in-vitro research reagents only.
Each row below describes one body of work. The model and population are part of the figure — a rodent per-kilogram quantity and a human trial quantity are not comparable.
The supplied material is usually a dilute solution, so the label percentage overstates active content.
Around a 30% reduction in wrinkle depth was reported in manufacturer testing; independent replication is scarce.
These figures match the published chart for this compound on peptidedosages.com, including the reconstitution volume, resulting concentration, insulin-syringe units and the staged schedule. Educational reference only — not instructions, and not medical advice.
SNAP-8
SNAP-8 dosage is best expressed as the concentration of active acetyl octapeptide-3 in a finished topical research formulation. Human research has evaluated SNAP-8 in creams, multi-peptide serums, and purpose-built dissolving microneedle patches. The calculator below converts a 10 mg vial into actual active-peptide concentrations for topical cream, gel, or serum research.
| Final Batch | Active Peptide | Active % w/w | ppm | Research Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 g | 10 mg | 0.0333% w/w | 333 ppm | About 6.7 times the upper developer reference |
| 50 g | 10 mg | 0.0200% w/w | 200 ppm | 4 times the upper developer reference |
| 100 g | 10 mg | 0.0100% w/w | 100 ppm | 2 times the upper developer reference |
| 200 g | 10 mg | 0.0050% w/w | 50 ppm | Matches 10% of the nominal 0.05% supplier solution |
| 333.3 g | 10 mg | 0.0030% w/w | 30 ppm | Mid-range calculation |
| 666.7 g | 10 mg | 0.0015% w/w | 15 ppm | Matches 3% of the nominal 0.05% supplier solution |
The same arithmetic for every vial size Snap-8 is supplied in, using a fixed 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. One unit on a U-100 insulin syringe is 0.01 ml, so the unit column below is simply the volume that carries the reported amount. Educational arithmetic only — not instructions, and not medical advice.
Snap-8 · 3 ml bacteriostatic water
| Vial size | Concentration | Per 1 unit |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 3.33 mg/ml | 33 mcg |
No single reported amount applies to this compound, so only the concentration and the value of one unit are shown. Only the vial sizes this compound is actually supplied in are shown, and every figure assumes exactly 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. For any other volume, use the reconstitution calculator.
Supplied either as a powder or as a pre-diluted aqueous solution. Check which — the difference between 10% of a solution and 10% active peptide is a factor of twenty.

Peptide Intel Hub is an independent educational publication. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or the same company as Regena Peptides and Regena.app (regena-peptides.com / regena.app). We do not sell, supply, ship or take payment for any compound. Because readers regularly ask where compounds discussed in published studies can be sourced for laboratory work, we list Regena Peptides and Regena.app as suppliers we have verified and trust — every batch is released with a lot-matched third-party certificate of analysis (HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity).
