For several decades now, Botox injections have consistently held the title of champion in the fight against expression wrinkles. And the special technique of micro-injection of Botox, which Andrei Aleksandrovich brought from a closed Parisian clinic, allows even eyebrow lifting and upper eyelid tightening, prevention of wrinkles on the neck and purse-string wrinkles in the lip area without surgery.
And although Botox has become as familiar as Ksenia Sobchak in the role of a faithful wife, not everyone can or wants to take advantage of its capabilities.

Regenerating concentrate with vitamin C from Dr. Pierre Ricaud - mesotherapy effect
Price: from 1,690 rubles
Ascorbic acid stimulates the skin, causing it to produce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and also has anti-inflammatory properties. In mesotherapy cocktails, which are administered by injection, it is vitamin C that plays the main role. Set from Dr. Pierre Ricaud promised an effect comparable to a salon procedure. The product is presented exclusively on ricaud.com.
The cool thing about this kit is that vitamin C comes separately. It comes in powder form, which must be mixed with the emulsion before use. This is justified by the fact that ascorbic acid, originally added to the product, quickly loses its properties after contact with oxygen. In dry form, it retains its effectiveness for a long time.
I open an ampoule with dry ascorbic acid powder (5%) and add it to the emulsion. At the same time, I feel like a real alchemist. I put the dispenser on, shake it - the product is ready for use. I used the emulsion without additional creams, since I have oily skin, and the product just dries out a little. But those with dry skin types will have to use the concentrate in combination with a moisturizing product.
My opinion: manufacturers promise results in three weeks, but I noticed the first improvements after just a week.
Before using the product, I had minor inflammations on my chin - they disappeared. Small wrinkles smoothed out, complexion ceased to be dull.
Muscle relaxant cream “Impeccability without injections” from the House Calls line from Dr. Brandt - Botox effect
Price: from 7,085 rub.
It’s hard to believe that the cream can replace Botox injections. It doesn't have the same penetrating ability. However, the brand Dr. Brandt was once created by the Hollywood king of Botox, Dr. Brandt, so the technologists who used his developments managed to create a product comparable to the effect of injections.
The combination of adenosine, magnesium and neuropeptides in the cream really inhibits muscle activity.
My opinion: I applied the texture pointwise to the forehead. After use, it was difficult to move it for a full six hours (this is quite a long time for a product). I hope to “re-educate” my facial expressions.
Non-invasive filler from Fillerina - biorevitalization effect
Price: from 9,480 rub.
The contents of the box are a little scary: a set of two large tubes and syringes with thin iron cannulas that look like needles.
You look at all this and think: “Will I really have to give myself injections?” Actually, of course not. These syringes do not have needles; the cannula has a hole at the end through which the product is drawn. Using syringes, you distribute substances from two tubes on the surface of the skin. The transparent liquid from the first bottle is applied to correct fine wrinkles, and the drug with a creamy texture is used to tighten the oval of the face. The composition includes hexopepetides, six types of hyaluronic acid, matrifull peptide.
My opinion: the product can moisturize even the driest skin. The product evens out the texture - applying makeup after it is a pleasure. The set can serve as an alternative to biorevitalization and will perfectly support the results after salon procedures, including injections. The product also promises to add volume to my lips, but it’s difficult for me to be objective here, since they are naturally plump.

Smoothing serum with Matrixyl peptide from Hello Beauty - Botox effect
Price: from 199 rub.
Korean brand with its own features. Hello Beauty promises to save us from many skin problems. I received a product with a Botox effect. This serum contains the peptide Matraxyl. It is assumed that it activates the resources of the matrix of our skin (forms the basis of connective tissue): it stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, all renewal processes, and at the same time blocks muscle activity.
My opinion: I did not get any effect from Botox. But after a while I noticed how the serum copes well with post-acne marks. An obvious plus. The serum can be found on the website pudra.ru.
Botox cream – a new word in the beauty industry or a new advertising ploy?
When developing a new generation product, marketers started from two positions:
- Women have already “fed up” the promises of smoothing out wrinkles with natural ingredients, tried them in practice, were convinced of their low effectiveness and want something fundamentally new.
- The procedure for administering Botox, a drug based on botulinum toxin A, is constantly in the news. To a large extent, Botox’s popularity is due to the paparazzi, who make a sensation out of each such procedure for famous personalities.
So they decided to give “Botox for the people”, and in the form of a cream. Many anti-wrinkle creams with a “Botox effect” have appeared on the shelves of stores and pharmacies. However, before you try this tool on yourself, it is worth understanding in more detail the mechanism of its operation.
For a full analysis of creams and the effect of Botox, we turned to the famous cosmetologist, participant in television shows and programs, plastic surgeon Levon Chakhoyan.
Anti-wrinkle and skin firming cream Serum Vegetal from Yves Rocher - biorevitalization effect
Price: from 1,149 rub.
I like the cosmetics of this French brand, and especially the ingredients they use in production. For anti-aging lines, these are rare plant species that can survive even in the most extreme conditions. Scientists grow all plant components (they are patented) in specially created greenhouses under certain conditions.
The highlight of this cream is a plant with an unpronounceable name “mesembryanthemum crystallinum” (sounds like a spell). In combination with acacia gum, it promises to smooth out all wrinkles, activate the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, and add density to the skin.
My opinion: I used neck cream. The product quickly smoothes out small wrinkles and creases after sleep and also nourishes the skin well. But biorevitalization as such is unlikely to replace it.
Anti-aging collection Lift-Structure from Filorga - contour plastic effect
Price: from 5,300 rub.
The line, consisting of serum, day and night cream, promises to get rid of ptosis, smooth out wrinkles and restore skin tone. The product contains components such as cellular growth factor, collagen and hyaluronic acid. This formula promises to replace three procedures at once: plasma lifting, biorevitalization and contouring. The line is sold exclusively in premium pharmacies and perfume and cosmetic stores “Ile De Beaute”.
The collection is intended for mature women, so I gave it to my mother, who has ptosis, deep eyebrow wrinkles, and light nasolabial folds for testing.
So, after a week of use, the wrinkles were noticeably smoothed out. I think there will be much fewer of them in a month. But the ptosis has not disappeared anywhere. Unfortunately, when the subcutaneous fat thins out, hardware lifting or plastic surgery can return a clear contour to the oval of the face - cosmetics are powerless here.
My opinion: the line can be recommended if you have wrinkles, including expression lines, and uneven facial contours.
Botox cream without Botox
But the main feature of creams with the Botox effect is the absence of botulism toxin in their composition. Creams with real toxin are sold only in the USA, and only in specialized pharmacies for professional cosmetologists. In Russia, for example, there is not a single certified cream containing botulinum toxin A.
What do manufacturers replace this active ingredient with? There are different ways:
- Hyaluronic acid. With its help, strong hydration, regeneration and the claimed lifting effect are ensured, which may seem vaguely similar to the use of Botox.
- Moisturizers and nutrients. Many creams contain a range of nutrients and moisturizing substances, which also have some beneficial effects, but do not provide nearly the same effect as “temporarily turning off” the muscles that create wrinkles on the face.
- Muscle relaxants. Special muscle relaxers that can closely mimic the effect of Botox, but require regular use and have a very limited effect.
Therefore, it is always worth remembering that the “Botox effect” is not at all the same as “botulism toxin A”.
