I just purchased a product on ebay, taking a chance on something I've never heard about, called "Ultra Hydrate." It was super cheap (on sale for $9,) but then I started researching the ingredients and found an old 2006 thread on EDS, on Argireline, that wasn't very favorable.

Here's what Ultra Hydrate has in it:
Matrixyl 3000, Argireline, Glycerin, O.O. Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe, Green Tea, Phenoxyethanolese .

Now I'm worried about the Argireline, which is an "alternative to botox," having caused sagging in some people...Is anyone familiar with that ingredient and should I be worried?

SmartSkinCare's Dr Todorov thinks argireline is a bad idea since it may relax skin all over instead of in targeted areas like Botox:

OTOH Matrixyl3000 seems to work for some people and isnt harmful at least:
