Smile lines, crow’s feet and small folds that gradually appear… We know them! And while Botox injections can alleviate some of them, not everyone necessarily wants to go through aesthetic medicine. This is what explains the craze for Botox effect cosmetic treatments, which are increasingly present in our bathrooms.
K-beauty has obviously taken up the subject. Among these products, the Botul-Pep anti-wrinkle serum from DR.PEPTI has a particularly interesting formula. His goal? Improve the appearance of wrinkles while restoring a smoother, plumper appearance to the skin. Enough to attract our attention!
Peptides to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, without injections
Why do we talk about a Botox-like effect? Because DR.PEPTI uses a cosmetic polypeptide called Botul-Pep, associated with active ingredient diffusion technology. The brand has also imagined a gel texture which forms a thin film on the skin. The idea is to improve its appearance, especially in areas where wrinkles become more visible.
Bakuchiol and niacinamide: two other ingredients that deserve our attention
And DR.PEPTI doesn’t just rely on its star peptide! The formula also contains bakuchiol, a plant active ingredient particularly appreciated in anti-aging routines. Often presented as an alternative to retinol, it is of particular interest to people who wish to reduce the appearance of the first signs of aging. However, the two molecules should not be confused, as they have different properties.
We also find niacinamide, panthenol and ceramides. An interesting combination for skin that lacks comfort, hydration and suppleness. Because yes, dehydrated skin can also visually accentuate small fine lines!
The right gesture to target smile lines and crow’s feet
No need to redo your entire routine to incorporate this treatment. The advantage of Botul-Pep anti-wrinkle serum is precisely that it can target the areas that concern you. DR.PEPTI recommends applying a moderate amount of product to the affected areas, then waiting three to five seconds before gently tapping.
Smile lines, nasolabial folds and the eye area may be affected in particular, staying away from the eyes themselves. Little advice? A good moisturizing cream completes the treatment to preserve skin comfort. And in the morning, daily sun protection remains essential to limit the appearance of new signs of aging.
Can a Botox effect serum replace injections?
Botox-like serums are cosmetic treatments that aim to improve the appearance of wrinkles. Some contain peptides particularly studied for this use. However, they do not reproduce the action of botulinum toxin injections on the muscles. Their effects are generally more modest and depend on the formula used.
What are the benefits of bakuchiol on the face?
Bakuchiol is a plant active ingredient used in treatments that target the first signs of aging. It is particularly of interest to people concerned about fine lines and loss of firmness. Unlike retinol, it does not belong to the retinoid family. Its tolerance nevertheless depends on the complete formulation of the product.
How to use Botul-Pep anti-wrinkle serum from DR.PEPTI?
The serum is applied to clean skin, particularly to marked areas. After application, the brand recommends waiting three to five seconds before gently tapping. A moisturizer can then complete the routine. In the morning, sun protection remains essential.
