Question 3: Can you trust the marketing hype on Synake?
Short answer: no!
I gave an example Saturday. There is no reason not to use Synake around the eye area. It is a non-irritating peptide dissolved in water and glycerin. [Do check the rest of a product’s ingredients though. There may be others that would irritate, like denatured alcohol.]
The point is, take what you read with a grain of salt. Marketers can and do make up information or make factual errors. No one is perfect.
Question 4: What are they saying on the forums and can forums be trusted?
Another short answer: no.
Here is more information about SYN®-AKE.
I had Peter Thomas Roth Un-wrinkle rated #2 on my top ten list of Skin Care Picks, not because it contains Synake, but because of all its other anti-aging peptides. After all this research into Synake, I’m bumping it up to #1.

Question 1: Who is Pentapharm and can they be trusted?Pentapharm is a fifty-year old pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland. It specializes in research and development and the production of active ingredients for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In the company’s words, they use “the most modern methods and procedures in research and production [which] comply fully with ISO 9001 quality assurance standards and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).”My only reservations regarding Pentapharm’s reported study on Synake are that it was quite small and that it has not been peer-reviewed or replicated by independent labs. This is not Pentapharm’s fault and is a problem for the entire cosmeceutical industry and the consumers of cosmeceutical products. Independent labs simply do not have funding for such cosmetic research.Read more advice and information about SYN®-AKE.

I’ve begun looking into the research and development of SYN®-AKE and truthfully, I’m coming up with more questions than answers.
According to Pentapharm, the manufacturer of Synake, the compound is a synthetic tripeptide which mimics the action of a “neuromuscular blocking compound of the venom of the Temple Viper.” First we had Botox, now we have snake venom?!
While the actual venom paralyzes, this peptide copies only the component which relaxes the muscles (Waglerin 1). Pentapharm postulates that it acts similarly to Argireline by interfering with the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles directing them to contract. However, the company’s research indicates that Synake is significantly more powerful than Argireline.

Reader #2 wrote back with some words of wisdom about selecting anti-aging products. She has done quite a bit of research on some leading edge ingredients, so I hope she won’t mind my sharing this.
“I haven't actually used any of these products as I'm confused as to which one works best. However, after reading more about SYN®-AKE, I've learned that you are not supposed to use it under the eye, which is where I need it, so I'll probably cross that one off my list.
I guess the best thing to do is if a product claims to have certain ingredients, check the label to ensure it does, and in what order the pertinent ones appear. I think the hardest thing to do is get through all the marketing "hype", especially if you're uneducated in anti-aging like I am, though I feel I'm learning a lot from your website.
Once I try something I'll let you know how well it works for me. Thanks! Reader #2.”
I don’t know anything about SYN®-AKE, so appreciate the caution about not using it under the eyes. I’ve put it on my list of new ingredients to research. As I said Sunday, I was most impressed by the ingredient list for DermaExcel,
so I’ve already started researching that one.
Stay tuned!
