What Is Acmella Oleracea Extract?
Acmella oleracea, also known as the toothache plant or paracress, contains spilanthol, a compound that causes a numbing, tingling sensation. In skincare, this translates to a muscle-relaxing effect that softens expression lines.
The extract works by inhibiting muscle contractions in a similar but gentler way to botulinum toxin. Regular use can help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and forehead.
This natural alternative provides a non-invasive approach to addressing expression lines without the need for injections.
