Although there is no clinical research behind these products proving them to be effective when it comes to visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially compared to the proven effective ingredients included in many other products on the market today, this line of anti-aging anti-wrinkle products appear to use many exclusive, unique ingredients like many lifting ingredients, and many unique botanical based ingredient complex. Some of its wrinkle filling ingredients (spheres) are collagen and hyaluronic acid which are proven effective wrinkle filling ingredients found in many other products on the market. The line also uses a facial expression line muscle relaxation ingredient — Botufix. Similar muscle relaxing or muscle contraction inhibition ingredients have been widely used in other wrinkle combating products on the market. This line of anti-aging is worth trying, however some of the top products are all above $200 compared to the size of the products which will create a barrier for new customers to enter.
