Frequently Asked Questions

What causes wrinkles?
Repetitive muscle movement is the major cause of wrinkles. That means that every single one of the 15,000 facial expressions that a person makes every day is damaging the skin.

As we get older, the lack of collagen in the dermis is thought to be another major reason for wrinkle formation. Thus, when skin is stimulated to synthesizing more collagen, it is possible to reverse the trend and diminish facial wrinkles.

How does Biotoxyl work?
BIOTOXYL is comprised of three of the most innovative active ingredients known in cosmetology today: Matrixyl(Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3), Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) and Antarcticine (Pseudoalteromonas Ferment extract).

The active molecule in Matrixyl is Micro-Collagen, a peptide which, when applied to the skin surface, penetrates the skin, reaching fibroblast cell. Here, it incites synthesis on a cellular level targeting the molecules of connective tissue, or the “skin matrix”, such as collagen and glycosaminoglycanes. Micro-Collagen is able to therefore safely and more gently replace injections or other devices and methods in the treatment of wrinkles.

The active ingredients, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, works by relaxing the skin to give the whole face a relaxed, more youthful look. If the complexion is relaxed, the skin does not have to experience the strain of continuous creasing.

Pseudoalteromonas Ferment extract goes to work on contact, where it helps promote elasticity and plumps the skin, making your skin fresher and younger looking, while smoothing wrinkles.

Is there any specific proof that Biotoxyl really works?
Three separate clinical studies were performed on Matrixyl in the interest of challenging existing industry benchmarks:

· In Vitro – (On human fibroblasts).
· Ex Vivo – (On human full thickness skin biopsies).
· In Vivo – (On human volunteers over a six-month period).

The results were unanimous: all demonstrated the efficacy of Matrixyl and the active ingredient Micro-Collagen, and their potential as a highly effective wrinkle reduction formula.

Biotoxyl also contains the ONLY skin-relaxing ingredients SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to be effective in in vivo trials. These rigorous tests were done against a placebo cream in a controlled environment. Over a 30-day period, subjects were tested with silicon imprints of the eye contour, taken before the beginning of the test, after 15 days of treatment and at the end of the 30-day period. The results were nothing short of astounding! The tests proved that the active ingredient, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, in Biotoxyl reduces the appearance of wrinkles by up to 50% in 30 days, with an average improvement of 30%.

Will my complexion be permanently relaxed after using Biotoxyl?
The actual “relaxing” effect of Biotoxyl is gradual, cumulative and reversible. If you stop using Biotoxyl your skin will return to its former condition 2-6 months.

Where can I purchase Biotoxyl?
Biotoxyl is available at most pharmacies, beauty salons and can also be purchased online.

How long will it take to see results?
You will see and feel improved moisture and tone right away. For optimal results, it is recommended that you use Biotoxyl for a minimum of three to six months.

How do I use Biotoxyl?
With fingertips, using gentle upward strokes, smooth over cleansed skin until absorbed. Use twice daily, morning and evening.

Are there any side effects with Biotoxyl?
Biotoxyl has not shown to have any side effects, short or long term. Biotoxyl is a non-prescription product that has been formulated and manufactured by healthcare experts.

Is there anything else I should do while using Biotoxyl?
Yes, while using Biotoxyl, we do recommend that you maintain a healthy, active lifestyle for optimum results. Furthermore, we suggest that you eliminate the use of all tobacco products, as this can accelerate the deterioration of skin quality and increase the likelihood of wrinkles. Finally, if you drink alcohol, we recommend that you do so in moderation.
