Cosmetic composition to accelerate repair of functional wrinkles
View Patent ↗A composition consisting of a combination of peptides that regenerate the dermal matrix and a rapid acting muscle relaxant derived from the extract of the plant, Acmella oleracea . By limiting cutaneous deformation caused by the contraction of facial muscles the extract increases the efficiency of the peptides in reducing expression lines.
