Is Argireline Better than Botox?

What can I say, is Argireline better than botox? Nicknamed “Botox in a jar,” Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-3 or acetyl hexapeptide-8) is not a toxin. Argireline prevents the formation of skin lines and wrinkles in a very similar way to Botox, inhibiting neurotransmitter release at the neuromuscular junction. Argireline does not require under-skin muscle injections and it is believed to be relatively safe. In fact, Argireline is a well-known, innovative anti-ageing product used in the cosmetic market.

What is Argireline?

TYPE OF INGREDIENT: Peptide

MAIN BENEFITS: Prevents the muscle movement that leads to wrinkle formation. Argireline also promotes collagen production and optimizes the function of collagen, which both fight fine lines and improve moisture levels in the skin.

WHO SHOULD USE IT: Anyone looking to smooth out wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement in areas such as the forehead and around the eyes. It’s also a good pick for anyone with dry skin as it actually helps allocate moisture to the area of application.

HOW OFTEN CAN YOU USE IT: It can be used daily.

WORKS WELL WITH: One study suggests that it works well in conjunction with another peptide, tripeptide-10-citrulline (amino acid), which increases the permeability for Argireline to penetrate to a depth where it can target muscles that cause wrinkles. It’s also often combined with hyaluronic acid to up the hydration benefits.

DON’T USE WITH: Generally speaking, Argireline works well with many ingredients although Deciem suggests it is best to not use Peptides in the same routine as direct acids, LAA (L-Ascorbic Acid), and ELAA (Ethylated Ascorbic Acid).

Deciem Argireline Solution 10% — **Deciem The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10%**

Lightweight serum with 10% Argireline peptide complex. Deciem’s controlled studies have shown that Argireline improves the appearance of facial areas prone to developing dynamic folds, including around the eyes and in the forehead area. Their studies have shown that the more hydrated the skin is the better Argireline works. Using it after applying a hydrating essence or applying a hyaluronic serum after Argireline will also help but to avoid oils, esters, and silicones.

My Opinion on Deciem’s Argireline Solution 10%

There’s no denying that injectable neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Juveau) are the most effective option if you are looking for a semi-permanent result to smooth out wrinkles. However, I am very impressed with the Deciem Argireline Solution 10% and if injectables are not your thing, then this is a great alternative.

Argireline is clinically proven to interfere with our facial muscle movement resulting in fewer muscle contractions which leads to fewer wrinkles. This power-peptide stimulates collagen production. This in itself means firmer, healthier-looking skin, and helps to keep fine lines and wrinkles from forming. Argireline also helps improve moisture levels in the skin, and a more hydrated face will always look more youthful

The Deciem Argireline Solution 10% is a genius product that works at an incredibly affordable price of 7.20 EUR!

How to Use

Apply a few drops on the forehead and around the eyes twice daily before heavier treatments. I also use it on my neck to soften the lines that are developing.
