Storage, Reconstitution & Stability Guidelines

Prior to reconstitution, lyophilized Argireline powder should be stored away from light between 2°C and 8°C for short-term access, or -20°C for long-term preservation. Once reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative), maintain strict refrigeration between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze liquid solution.
