Overview
There does not seem to be an official website for the anti-aging treatment Botanical Bio-Peptide Cream, which is manufactured by the company Charisma. The information available on this anti-aging cream is rather sparse. The product information that is available on Botanical Bio-Peptide Cream is available primarily from online shops selling this cream. We are told that the main active ingredient in this product is Palmitoyl Pentapeptide 3, which is otherwise known as Matrixyl. Matrixyl is a trademarked ingredient that is manufactured by the consumer goods giant Proctor and Gamble.
Product Details
The Botanical Bio-Peptide Cream can be purchased from online shops at a price of $40. Those selling this anti aging cream online claim that it is an intensive treatment cream that combats the negative effects of aging and improves the appearance of environmentally stressed skin. There does not seem to be a comprehensive ingredients list for this product. We do know, however, that it contains Palmitoyl Pentapeptide 3, which is the pentapepide responsible for producing collagen. As we get older the amount of collagen that the skin produces diminishes, and this leads to lines, wrinkles and sagging of the skin.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide 3, which is also known as Matrixyl, is often confused with the trade marked Pentapeptide combination Matrixyl 3000. However they are not the same thing, Matrixyl 3000 which is believed to be more effective in diminishing lines and wrinkles due to aging is a combination of Palmitoyl Pentapeptide 3 and a second Pentapeptide. There does not seem to be any money back guarantee upon purchase offered by those online shops that sell Botanical Bio-Peptide Cream, nor does there seem to be an offer of a free trial sample with purchase via the website.
The Good
- Botanical Bio Pentapeptide Cream contains Matrixyl which is said to have an effect on lines and wrinkles.
- This product is reasonably priced.
- Botanical Bio Pentapeptide can be ordered directly from online shops.
The Bad
- There is no official website for Botanical Bio Pentapeptide.
- It is not the only anti-aging cream on the market which contains Matrixyl.
- We are not told what distinguishes Botanical Bio-Pentapeptide cream from other similar creams on the market.
- There are more powerful pentapeptide combinations on the market, other than Matixyl.
The Bottom Line
Competition amongst manufacturers of anti-aging creams is tough and they really do need to try and give a maximum of information on their products. An official website is a step in the right direction, especially if it offers easy to find, detailed product information. Unfortunately manufacturers cannot rely on the fact that their product contains ingredients such as Matrixyl to make it stand out. This is because there are now pentapeptide combinations more powerful than Matixyl on the market such as Matrixyl 3000.
