Scientific Abstract

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 has become one of the most talked-about ingredients in modern skincare for its ability to help soften the appearance of expression lines and create a smoother, more relaxed-looking complexion. Its popularity has spread from celebrity beauty routines and aesthetic clinics to social feeds around the world. But the peptide is only part of the story. We will get to the larger breakthrough in a moment. So, is it worth $195? That depends on what you expect from your skincare.

Why Is It Called a “Botox-Like” Peptide?

Botox is an injectable medical treatment that produces a very different biological effect. No topical skincare product can reproduce or replace an injectable procedure.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a topical peptide applied directly to the skin morning and evening. It is often called a “Botox-like” peptide because it is designed to help reduce the visible effects associated with repeated facial movement, including the appearance of expression lines around the forehead, eyes and mouth.

Founded by Pioneers in IVF Solutions

Now Reimagining the Science of Skin Aging

Science visual

AV Laboratories was founded by Ami and Monica Mezezi, pioneers with more than 25 years of experience in regenerative medicine, stem-cell science and IVF solutions.

Their earlier work focused on one of the most delicate challenges in bioscience: creating the precise molecular environment that early cells require to survive, develop and thrive.

What if the same approach used in IVF solutions, could be applied to the appearance of skin aging?

Together with a world-class team of scientists, doctors and formulators, they spent years developing a biotechnology designed around the molecular needs of healthy-looking skin. The result was AVL SOM3®.

The Three Foundations of Younger-Looking Skin

Together, structure, elasticity and energy influence how firm, smooth, luminous and resilient skin appears over time.

Structure

Collagen helps give skin its firm, supported appearance. As collagen declines, lines become more visible.

Elasticity

Elastin contributes to the visible flexibility and resilience that allow skin to appear smooth and supple.

Energy

NAD+ plays an important role in cellular energy and processes associated with renewal, recovery and radiance.

See What Can Change in 28 Days

AVL Face Serum is a lightweight, high-efficacy formula designed to deliver progressive visible improvement without adding unnecessary steps to your routine.

Apply morning and evening to clean skin, followed by an AVL moisturizer. Clinically evaluated across more than 1,300 participants.

28 day results

Clinical testing has shown improvements in:

  • Appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin's elastic-looking bounce
  • Smoother-looking texture
  • Visible radiance
  • Firmer-looking skin
  • Hydration and moisture
  • More even-looking tone

The AVL SOM3® Breakthrough

Amino acids are fundamental molecular building blocks used throughout the body in processes associated with proteins such as collagen and elastin.

AVL SOM3® contains all 20 amino acids in a patented, precisely balanced system developed to support the visible foundations of skin wellness: Structure, Elasticity, and Energy.

  • More than five years of dedicated development
  • More than $10 million in research and development
  • A team of leading biotechnology scientists
  • A patented complex containing all 20 amino acids
  • Manufacturing in an FDA-registered facility
  • Clinical testing under dermatological supervision

Your 28-Day Protocol

Day 1

Nourish and Hydrate

Skin begins receiving lightweight moisture and precision molecular nourishment. It may immediately feel softer, smoother and more comfortable.

Day 7

A Fresher-Looking Surface

With consistent use, skin may begin to feel smoother and appear more refreshed, hydrated and radiant.

Day 14

Visible Improvement Builds

Texture, hydration and the appearance of fine lines may begin to show more noticeable improvement.

Day 28

Your Transformation Is Revealed

After 28 days of consistent use, skin may appear smoother, firmer, more hydrated, more even and more youthful-looking. But 28 days is not the finish line. It is the beginning of a more intelligent approach to how your skin appears to age.

The Real Value of Molecular Serum

A single injectable treatment can cost several hundred dollars and require recurring appointments. A shelf filled with disconnected products can cost just as much, without being formulated or clinically tested as one complete system.

AVL Face Serum brings together patented AVL SOM3® biotechnology, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, all 20 amino acids, precision formulation, lightweight daily hydration, and a 28-day protocol designed for visible results.

This is not the price of one fashionable peptide. It represents decades of bioscience, years of development and a patented technology designed to expand what daily skincare can do.
