What studies have looked at
Each point says who or what was studied and what the study reported, with its source and the date we checked it. These are findings from the sources cited, not advice or a promise of any result.
- In humans
In a randomised, placebo-controlled study in 60 Chinese adults, eye-area wrinkles improved more with argireline than with placebo, on both a subjective rating and skin-replica measurements.

- In animals or the lab
In lab tests, argireline interfered with the SNARE protein complex that nerve cells use to release signalling chemicals. It inhibited that release with a potency similar to botulinum toxin A, but far less effectively.

How to track it in Peptimes
Add Argireline in My Protocols and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Its Library entry shows the status label “Not FDA-Approved”.
- Logging: the amount you applied and how you feel. It’s logged as topical, so there’s no injection site to record.
- Reminders and history: reminders at your times, Dose History, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the peptide tracker app page.
Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell Argireline or any other compound.
