Reader Comments on Friday’s Blog: Faitox or Fake-tox?

Comment 1

I would like a product that mimics Botox by inhibiting my facial muscles from making new wrinkles around my eyes when I smile, and also my forehead. I can find another cream to deal with the existing wrinkles in my skin if I have too. I would just like something to prevent more due to muscle contractions, but I don't want to commit to Botox. Any suggestions?



Comment 2

I would like to use an Argireline wrinkle relaxer and wondered if you liked the one you are using and which one it was. There are so many it's hard to decide - DermaExcel 7 by Janson Beckett, True Radiance Youth Cream, Skinutrition's Wrinkle Relaxer Serum with SYN®-AKE - the list is endless! HELP!!

I personally like DDF Wrinkle Relax the best. Its second and third ingredients are Argireline and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid. However since I can’t always afford such a splurge, I frequently use Avon’s Clinical Deep Crease. It contains Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 rather than 3 as the sixth ingredient and also contains Hyaluronic Acid.



I would be very interested to hear how Reader #2 liked DermaExcel. It’s a bit more expensive than DDF but has Argireline as the third ingredient and also contains Snap 7 Heptapeptide, Pentapeptide-3, alpha lipoic acid and DMAE. Wow!
