Adifyline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-38): The Complete Guide
Written by the Osmotics team · Reviewed by Elena Hart, MD, dermatologist · Last updated
The short answer
Adifyline (acetyl hexapeptide-38) is a peptide studied for supporting the look of fuller, more contoured skin in areas that have lost volume.
Quick answer: Adifyline® is a hexapeptide (Acetyl Hexapeptide-38) developed to restore the look of youthful facial volume — the soft cushioning in the cheeks and contour that thins with age — for a plumper, more lifted appearance without fillers.
What is Adifyline®?
Adifyline® is the trade name for Acetyl Hexapeptide-38, a peptide focused on facial volume rather than lines. A big part of why a face reads as “aged” isn’t wrinkles but loss of volume — the youthful fullness in the cheeks and mid-face deflates over time, so contours flatten and skin looks more hollow and drawn.
How Adifyline® works
Adifyline® is formulated to support the volume-giving cushioning in the skin’s deeper layers, helping restore the look of plumpness and roundness to areas that have deflated. The result is a subtly fuller, more lifted-looking contour — a cosmetic “volumising” effect that develops gradually with use.
What does Adifyline® do for skin?
- Restores the look of facial volume — targets deflated cheeks and mid-face.
- Plumps and cushions — for a rounder, fuller-looking contour.
- Softens a hollow, drawn appearance — helping the face look fuller and more rested.
How to use Adifyline®
Adifyline® comes formulated into volumising treatments and is gentle enough for twice-daily use. It layers well with copper peptides, firming peptides and hyaluronic acid — volumising and firming actives complement each other, addressing fullness and structure together.
Is Adifyline® safe?
As a signal peptide it’s gentle and generally well tolerated. It offers a cosmetic improvement in the look of volume, not the effect of an injectable filler. This guide is general education, not medical advice; individual results vary.
