Saw this on Groupon offering a deal $25 (normal price $89).
Per the Q&A page, the ingredients are:
Water, Cyclomethicone, Cichorium Intybus (Chicory) Root Oligosaccharides (and) Glycerin (and) Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum, Avena sativa (Oat) Kernal Extract, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Dimethicone and 1% or less of Lauramidoyl Inulin, Oleth-10, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Tromethamine.
I tried to check for online reviews on other sites, and the only site that has the reviews is this one:
http://thehipster.co/products/daily-face-lift-collagen-anti-wrinkle-creme-anti-aging-cream-eye-serum.html
So I came here to see if anyone ever posted anything about this serum, but did not see any.
What do you think of the ingredients? Is this serum worth a try? |

| I'm still a newbie on this site, but just watching the video on the site you gave the link to raises some questions. I seriously find it hard to believe that a topical serum can strengthen the muscles in your face. This one seems like a scam to me. |

Save your money. Another for the annals of quackery.
No it does not relax muscles (like Botox. If it did
1. It would be classified as a drug, just like Botox, and
2. your eyelids would end up drooping, because they are the moist sensitive muscles on your face to neuromuscular blockade.
Active Ingredients:
The molecule claimed as the main active is Gatuline = spilanthol or (E,Z,E)-N-2-isobutyl-2,6,8-decatrienamide). This is a well known botanical that kills maggots and some fungi. May have some minor antipxidant & anti-inflammatory effects.
OSILIFT® BIO (to firm up the skin and improve how makeup looks on you) PEPHA®-TIGHT (to tighten the skin).
Now that's interesting. it both relaxes (like Botox) and tightens at the same time. Confused? They seem to be. |

| Thanks guys! I won't buy it then since it is not returnable either. I am seeing a lot of these magical skincare products popping up on these group discount web sites like Groupon, Livingsocial, etc, and always wonder why anyone would try it if it's not returnable and it is usually some no name brand you never even heard of. I like trying new skincare products, but not if it doesn't come with a money back guarantee. |

| I came across this post with the same question and registered with this site because the answer posted by DrJ was really disturbing. It seemed a very ignorant response, and very, very wrong. The active ingredient is a common cosmetics ingredient, apparently the latest and greatest thing in skincare, which I found out by googling it. It also seems to be now common in some pretty pricey face cream products. I don't know why this DrJ person (whom I am doubtful is an actual doctor, and at the very least not a dermatologist) would go through the effort to post erroneous information to turn you off to a product that you may actually like. |
