If you're looking for a solution that targets the appearance of dynamic facial lines, then The Ordinary's Argireline Solution 10% might just be the answer you’re looking for. In this video, I will be sharing with you the benefits of this serum, how to use the product including the do’s and don’ts! The Ordinary's Argireline Solution 10% is a lightweight, water-based serum that improves the appearance of facial areas prone to developing dynamic folds, including around the eyes and in the forehead area. It's perfect for those who want a more youthful, smoother look without resorting to invasive treatments. However, keep in mind that while this solution can help to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, it is not botox and doesn’t replace what botox can do. How does Argireline work as an ingredient when applied to the skin? Firstly, Argireline is a peptide that mimics the effect of Botox in the way it relaxes muscles. When applied to the skin, it can help to temporarily limit the ability of facial muscles to perform intense contractions, which are the main cause of wrinkles. Secondly, by inhibiting muscle movement, Argireline helps to reduce the depth and visibility of dynamic wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and on the forehead. Continuous use of Argireline can result in smoother and more relaxed-looking skin. Argireline has also been shown to promote collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is responsible for keeping the skin strong, firm, and youthful. As we age, the body produces less and less collagen. In fact, after the age of 20, a person produces about 1 percent less collagen in the skin each year. Moreover, environmental free radicals (from things like excessive sunlight exposure, smoking, pollution, etc.) can degrade collagen proteins. The result is skin that becomes thinner and more fragile with age. By promoting collagen production, Argireline may be able to increase skin firmness. Finally, Argireline is a non-toxic, safe, and well-tolerated ingredient, making it a suitable option for a wide variety of skin types. How To Use The Ordinary’s Argireline Solution 10%. Use this solution on targeted facial areas prone to dynamic lines, twice a day in the morning and in the evening. Take a small amount of the solution and gently apply it onto your forehead, around the eyes, or any other areas where you have dynamic lines. Use your fingertips to spread it across the skin in a patting motion, allowing it to absorb. Remember that a little goes a long way with this solution. A few drops should be sufficient to cover the necessary areas of your face. You can easily integrate this solution into your existing skincare routine. Apply it after toners and water-based products but before oil-based serums, emulsions, and creams. Avoid using with Vitamin C serums, and Exfoliating Acid Toners or Serums such as lactic acid, glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Use seperately. Always patch test prior to using the product to ensure that your skin doesn't react negatively, and avoid using on broken or compromised skin. Another thing to consider is that, if you're planning to spend time in the sun, it’s essential to follow up with a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin, as your skin may be more sensitive after applying serums. If you have more mature skin and are looking for a complementary product, consider using it alongside other peptides, such as The Ordinary’s Matrixyl 10% + HA, for a comprehensive approach to addressing signs of aging.
