Eterna Bella™ Keyano |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Eterna Bella™ Keyano Anti-Wrinkle Cream is advertised as an “anti-aging and reparative miracle face cream” that is a less expensive alternative to BOTOX®. According to the advertisement, those who use this face cream may potentially reverse sun damage, eliminate fine lines and wrinkles and firm the skin.
The product is marketed toward both consumers and dermatologists, and is advertised as being “the most advanced anti-aging product to hit the market.” The formula supposedly contains a blend of botanicals that may increase skin hydration, boost collagen production and protect from free radical damage. We will take a close look at this product and its formula to see just how effective it may be.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
The formula contains amino peptides to relax facial muscles and regenerate tissue cells. One main active ingredient, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, is a popular ingredient in anti-aging formulas for reducing wrinkles. Other ingredients include Coenzyme Q10 to protect the cell membrane from free radical damage; Alpha Lipoic Acid to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores; DMAE to firm the skin; Grape Seed Extract to improve circulation; and Retinyl Palmitate to keep the skin soft.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 has been shown to reduce fine lines around the face caused by facial expressions. It is often advertised as an alternative to BOTOX® injections, without the pain, cost or toxicity. Clinical studies have proven that the patented form of Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Argireline®, acts similarly to BOTOX® on the facial muscles, though unlike BOTOX®, which paralyzes the muscles, Argireline® merely relaxes the muscle contractions, and has no side effects.
DMAE is thought to slow the signs of aging, and is often taken in supplement form; no human studies have shown it to be effective, however. It is most commonly used as a memory enhancer.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant contained in many skincare products; it is thought to have a synergistic effect when combined with certain other ingredients, and may renew Vitamin E.

| Lifestyle |
Since Eterna Bella™ Keyano is marketed towards dermatologists, as well as consumers, it is possible that those seeing a dermatologist could have the product recommended to them. It may be effective for firming the skin, and the inclusion of antioxidants may protect it from further free radical damage. While it is cheaper than a BOTOX® injection, we believe it is still somewhat costly for a product that does not come with a money-back guarantee. Individuals may prefer to consider trying a product that is guaranteed, and one that contains clinically proven ingredients may be preferable.

| Final Thoughts |
Eterna Bella™ Keyano Anti-Wrinkle Cream is marketed as an alternative method to BOTOX® for reducing facial wrinkles and firming the skin. Since it contains Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, the product may relax the facial muscles that may cause wrinkles, but we find it does not contain the most advanced ingredients for protecting the skin and enabling it to stay firm and youthful-looking.
A number of anti-aging products are on the market that contain effective ingredients for improving the skin. Some formulas contain elements that boost Collagen production. Collagen is the compound responsible for maintaining the skin’s elasticity and naturally depletes with age. For those concerned with increasing the firmness of the facial tissues, products that include fresh Collagen, or ingredients to induce production may be preferable. We suggest looking for products from companies that offer money-back guarantees for best results.
