Cream with Botox effect : a review of the 10 best remedies

Botox has been the most effective method of rejuvenation for decades. It is also called “beauty injections”. This quickly smoothes fine lines and wrinkles. But not all women dare to do it. The modern cosmetics with botox effect can be an alternative to painful injections. To take advantage of their benefits, you need to understand how they work, what should be in the composition.

What is the Botox effect

During this procedure botulinum toxin is injected under the skin. It blocks the nerve impulses to the facial muscles and paralyzes them. The result is the smoothing of expression lines and wrinkles.The effect of the treatment is visible within a week or two. Your face looks tighter, fresher, younger. lasts up to six months.

But there are many contraindications for Botox injections, so they are recommended for healthy women to slow down age-related changes. If the procedure is carried out incorrectly, negative consequences are possible:

1. Allergic reactions;

2. eyelid drooping, ptosis;

3. weakened skin tone;

4. the face turns into a lifeless mask.

Other substances with the same effect have recently been discovered. The Botox effect is a relaxation of facial muscles, which leads to smoothing of wrinkles. In the cream such substances slowly penetrate into the muscle. That’s why the effect is not immediate. It will not work on deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and sagging skin. But such cosmetics have many advantages over Botox injections:

1. Has almost no contraindications other than individual intolerance;

2. There is no risk of infection and the development of inflammation;

3. No side effects;

4. natural composition;

5. ease of use;

6. cumulative effect;

7. It can be used for the eye area;

8. additional caring properties.

How does cosmetics with botox effect work?

These products contain botulinum-like substances that have the ability to relax facial muscles. They work almost as well as Botox injections, only slower. The result of the use of the cream can be expected not earlier than in 1.5-2 months.

The effect of these creams is especially efficient for the first wrinkles. Elena Eliseeva, Vichy medical expert, advises how to distinguish them from age-related wrinkles: if they are smoothed out after a good night’s sleep, these are expression lines.

What must be included in the composition

Such products do not contain botulinum toxin, this substance does not penetrate the top layer of the epidermis and quickly disintegrates. Certain peptides have the same effect, but they can also relax muscles. They penetrate the fibroblasts, exerting a myorelaxing effect.

1. Argarelin acts gently by blocking nerve endings. The result is a Botox-like effect. You need to look for the names of Argire in the composition of the cream

2. ne, Acetyl hexapeptide or hexapeptide.

3. Matrixyl or Matrixyl is another effective peptide that activates the collagen synthesis. It fills in wrinkles, reducing their expression. It may be listed as Palmitoyl pentapeptide in cosmetic products.

4. Synthetic peptide similar to viper venom Syn-Ake. It paralyzes the muscles.

5. Adenosine is a source of cellular energy. When it enters the tissues, the muscles relax.

6. There are several plants that contain peptides similar to botulinum toxin. Hibiscus seeds, ginger and anise extracts.

To enhance the effect of such cosmetics should contain moisturizing components, herbal extracts, vegetable oils. Then the cream will have a complex effect.
