A Fair Evaluation And Note On The Ingredients...... See Photos~, This review is from:
Premium Argireline Serum, Become Instantly Ageless with this Best Anti-aging Serum for Face and Neck with Hyaluronic Acid. Our Botox in a Bottle Cream is a 100% Risk Free Offer.
The kind folks at Acetyl Organics provided me with this product in exchange for sharing my unbiased review...
Having previously been a beauty consultant for over ten years, I've tried a ton of beauty products and skincare regimens. If you know a bit about how our skin works, you know not to believe hype about instant results or instant problems (except for allergies for the most part).
Our skin cells take roughly 30 - 45 days to surface from the base layer to the surface. That time period goes up as we age and sometimes due to other variables like flying a lot, too much sun or caffeine, stress, etc. Using good skincare and exfoliating can help slough off the older cells and help the fresh, more resilient skin to shine.
I've had this product in use for a little over three months now so I can share a pretty good personal experience. Right off, this isn't what I'd call a Botox alternative. Maybe if it was injected, lol but used topically, the results are not comparable and this is not a miracle serum.
It is, however, an excellent product. I started out using 3 to 4 drops to cover my face, neck, and decolletage. Then I got real about the fact that I like this product and it's not cheap, lol so I'll likely be buying my next bottle and shouldn't blow through this first one. 2 drops is enough to cover just as much area and massage in (follow with moisturizer after it dries).
This is firming; you can feel your skin tightening but it's not drying. The consistency is fantastic in that it's not watery or too thick to easily spread on. It doesn't have any strong perfumy smells or in any way irritate my sensitive skin or eyes.
My mom's been commenting, this last month especially, on how good my skin looks and this is without any makeup on. For reference, I'm 34 but my skin has been through a lot for my age. I have combination oily skin, during the summer I'm oily in my T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and normal everywhere else. During the winter I'm less oily in my T-zone and still don't experience any dryness.
This product doesn't magically erase wrinkles or turn back time but it is definitely brightening (I stopped using a makeup brightener) and has helped even out some redness.
I don't have enlarged pores to speak to that but a good serum like this one should help them appear smaller if you do. By itself, this product does not lighten age spots but some of my old acne scarring has lightened some since using this.
Like with any other product, you should give this a month (unless you have an actual reaction) to do it's thing. If you break out with some acne, your skin could likely be purging from how it was cared for previously. Remember, the cells your influencing now won't be at the surface until 30 days or more from now.
I initially started to rate this 4 stars because I wouldn't say it's an alternative to Botox, per say, but I really feel like this is a 5 star product because of my personal results with it. The ingredients are another thing...
This product is paraben free and I can't tell you how important that is, especially if you have any hormonal acne issues! I used to have pretty bad acne and I didn't understand it because at the time I didn't smoke and I ate super healthy, slept well, and stayed hydrated.
It wasn't until I learned about parabens and went completely paraben free (face care, hair care, deodorant, body products, hand wash, and makeup) that I cleared up! I made the switch because breast cancer is on both sides of my family and parabens are found in tumors.
If you're unfamiliar with them, they're usually towards the end of ingredient lists, like: methylparaben, propylparaben, etc. They're preservatives that make products have a longer shelf life, like 7 or more years, great for manufacturers but not for me because they are also hormone disruptors!
They're actually illegal in many other countries but unfortunately are not yet here in the US. Many manufacturers are finally getting with it and removing them; thank goodness! Off my soapbox, lol.
Needless to say, I definitely recommend this product. Smile. Uploading some photos so you can get a closer look. This serum is worth trying!
