Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

This synthetic peptide is designed to mimic the muscle-relaxing effect of snake venom. It works by temporarily inhibiting muscle contractions, which can help to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, particularly expression lines. It is often used in anti-aging formulations to provide a smoothing effect on the skin.
