BIOTOX |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
BIOTOX is an anti-aging cream that is clearly named to remind people of the injection formula, BOTOX®. This product is marketed by the company, Buddhacare, which also promotes hair care and body care products. This cream in particular is advertised to promote younger looking skin for individuals who wish to prevent or correct the effects of aging.
We find the promises made by this company are hardly unique. Practically every wrinkle cream on the market makes very similar statements. We will take a close look at this formula to see if it may provide the latest ingredients in technological advancement, and if it is able to generate the results it claims.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
The complete list of ingredients for BIOTOX are clearly listed on the manufacturer website. We know that this product contains: Argireline®, Collagen, Polylift, C12-13 Alkyl Lactate, Cranberry Fruit Extract and three different sunscreens.
We appreciate that the maker of this product adds sunscreen to their cream. However, they do not list the SPF level that is contained within BIOTOX, which makes it harder to determine if people who use this serum may be adequately protected against the sun.

| Ingredients in Focus |
As a whole, we feel this formula is fairly common, and may be found in an assortment of other creams found on the market. Though, we are curious as to why the manufacturer chose to include Cranberry Fruit Extract. The company claims that it will provide some moisturizing benefits, but it has not been shown to fight against wrinkles or other aging effects at this time.
Some people may like that this product contains Collagen, which naturally occurs in skin and declines with age. Collagen is often attributed to providing the skin with a plump, wrinkle-free look. However, simply adding Collagen into the formula is often not enough to increase Collagen levels at a sub-dermal level. This is why many individuals prefer a cream that contains a Collagen stimulator.
More successful formulas may combine Collagen with the ingredient Matrixyl 3000®, which is a patented ingredient that has proven to increase Collagen production. Obviously, this approach may be more attractive to individuals who are looking for a way to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate tired looking skin.

| Website |
There is no product website for BIOTOX at this time, but it is listed on the company website. The product description is quite brief and does not provide instructions for use. In addition, the manufacturer site does not cite any research to indicate that this product has been tested for safety and effectiveness.
Furthermore, as of review, there are no posted testimonials on this website, so it’s hard to say if this formula has worked successful for people in the past.

| Final Thoughts |
In the end, this product may generate some results, since it contains the ingredient Argireline®, which is a muscle relaxant that decreases the appearance of wrinkles. However, stimulating Collagen production is still a powerful way to attack the effects of aging, and we feel a cream that contains Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000® will provide greater results.
This product costs just below $20 per bottle, and is sold on the manufacturer website. We feel this is a moderate price, and we have to wonder about the quality level of some of the ingredients contained in this formula. Individuals do not have to pay outrageous prices for an effective anti-aging cream, but we fear that this low price may be indicative of a low-quality formula. We believe the most effective anti-aging creams will be offered at a fair price, and provide a complete money-back guarantee.
