Bellaplex Review

Overview

The market for “Botox alternatives” is huge, and Bellaplex is another cream that makes this claim. This dedicated wrinkle-fighting product was developed and manufactured by Urban Nutrition, LLC, a cosmetics research laboratory. The product claims to reduce fine wrinkles and age spots, promote skin cell production, exfoliate dead skin and also act as a conditioner. Bellaplex bases all these claims on the inclusion of their “miracle” ingredient, Matrixyl 3000. Bellaplex seems to be a single cream. Unfortunately, usage instructions on the official website are nearly nonexistent, so we can’t be sure about what kind of usage regimen this product will entail.

What we do know about Bellaplex is that it makes use of several proprietary ingredients to achieve results and that the formula is based on the Spanish manufactured peptide Agireline. Matrixyl 3000 also looks to be a peptide formulation. The product appears to come in a pump-bottle style dispenser and it is marked suitable for general use all over the body. However, it is probably assumed that Bellaplex cream will be regulated to use on the face.

Product Details

It appears that Bellaplex relies on four major active ingredients in its formulation. First, it uses the peptide Argireline. This patented blend of amino acids is formulated to relax facial muscles, thereby reducing tension wrinkles. Test results seem to indicate that Argireline has been proven effective for spot treatments after 30 days of correct usage.

Bellaplex also features the collagen stimulating peptide Matrixyl 3000. Collagen production slows as the body ages, and it is what gives your skin a youthful, soft appearance. Boosting collagen production will help combat dry skin as well as help skin plump up, smoothing out wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid is another key active ingredient in Bellaplex. This acid is a hydration agent that is used to smooth skin and increase its elasticity. Some contemporary injection treatments feature Hyaluronic acid in the injected solution, but Bellaplex uses it topically.

The fourth major active ingredient in Bellaplex is collagen itself. This means that not only does the product claim to promote your own body’s collage growth, it also gives you an extra shot of the protein.

Unfortunately, Bellaplex does not supply full list of ingredients or more details about the product’s formulation.

The Good

• Official website offers free 7-day sample.
• Product claims to promote collagen production.
• According to the official website, product has been mentioned in many major national publications.

The Bad

• No full list of product ingredients given on official website.
• While the official website does offer some clinical research data on the individual peptides found in Bellaplex, they do not post tests of development info on the product as a whole. We would like to see that.
• Some data has shown that peptide treatments work better as spot treatments and are less effective as a general topical cream.
• No usage directions given on official website.

The Bottom Line

Bellaplex appears to be a fairly typical entrant into the growing peptide-based Botox alternative market. While it does contain several viable collagen producing peptides, we’d like to see a little more product development information. Also, instructional information on product use is lacking from the official site. This lack of available information makes it difficult for us to get too excited about this product or to be able to point out any unique benefits it offers.
