Argireline Calculator
Argireline (also known as Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) reconstitution and dosage reference — calculate vial concentration, BAC water volume, and exact syringe units below.
At the reference preset of a 10mg Argireline vial reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, a 1mg dose measures 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Argireline is an acetylated hexapeptide widely used in cosmetic formulations as a topical 'Botox-mimetic' that interferes with SNARE-complex assembly.

How to use this calculator›
- 1. Vial — the peptide amount printed on the vial, in milligrams.
- 2. BAC water — the bacteriostatic water added to the vial. More water means a lower concentration and a larger, easier-to-read draw.
- 3. Dose — the single dose being measured, in milligrams.
- 4. Syringe — the barrel being drawn into. The diagram rescales to that syringe, so the same dose sits at a different mark on a 0.3 mL barrel than on a U-100.

What is Argireline?
Argireline is an acetylated hexapeptide widely used in cosmetic formulations as a topical 'Botox-mimetic' that interferes with SNARE-complex assembly. It is intended for topical application only — injectable use is not standard.
| 5 mg | lyophilized powder |
| 10 mg | lyophilized powder |
| 0.5 mg | ≈ 10 U-100 units (at 10mg / 2mL) |
| 1 mg | ≈ 20 U-100 units (at 10mg / 2mL) |
| 2 mg | ≈ 40 U-100 units (at 10mg / 2mL) |
How it's typically prepared
Argireline is most commonly used topically as part of a serum. Reconstitution math here is illustrative only.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Argireline injected?
- No — Argireline is a topical cosmetic peptide. Injectable use is not the standard route.
