Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate (often sold under the trade name Syn‑Ake) is designed to mimic the effect of certain bioactive peptides by modulating neuromuscular signalling involved in fine muscle contractions; in cosmetics it aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and create a smoother surface. It is typically incorporated into serums, creams and some scalp treatments as an active ingredient; sensitivity is uncommon but patch testing is standard for new actives. Efficacy depends on formulation, concentration and consistent use, and most published data relate to facial skin rather than hair or scalp.
