Overview
Becarre Crème SeaTox Evening Crème supposedly relaxes the muscles in the face by “stimulating, rebuilding, and re-sculpting.” The concept being to relax the skin rather to stiffen it like Botox. This product uses two key ingredients that are found in an elite set of cosmetics: Argireline and Matrixyl. Bécarre is a French based cosmetics company that offer seas lot of similar products said to be age creams. This company has a strong international brand name but not nearly as much in the United States for some reason.
Product Details
This product is to be used at night before bed, though it may be used during the day. Be warned that this should not be suggested as this product has no sunscreen component; which would leave the skin defenseless to aging ultraviolet rays. This is a product strictly for facial use only. A two ounce jar costs roughly fifty dollars.
The complete list of ingredients is Argireline®, Matrixyl®, Vitamin C Ester, Red Algae Extract, CoQ10, Retinol, Tocotrienol and Sepivital. The two most important ingredients are Argireline and Matrixyl both patented products used in many facial cosmetics and that has been generally accepted as affective, at least for certain skin types. Argireline® is the patented form of Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 that supposedly rests facial wrinkles, and discontinues the development of future wrinkles. Matrixyl is the product supposed to enhance collagen production; though this product does not contain actual natural collagen. A key warning is to test your skin with varying amounts of this product before regular use. Starting with a minimal amount and building up to make sure this product doesn’t do damage to your skin.
The Good
- Contains Argireline and Matrixyl.
- Strong international brand-name.
The Bad
- Relatively little known in the United States.
- No sunscreen component if worn outdoors.
- Refund policy dependent on retailers.
The Bottom Line
Becarre Crème SeaTox Evening Crème is a relatively inexpensive product and does contain the two key anti-wrinkle ingredients, found in the most acclaimed products, Argireline and Matrixyl. Most other ingredients seem to be harmless though as always contact your dermatologist. Besides the list of ingredients very little information is revealed about the product except it “stimulates, rebuilds, and re-sculpts” because as they claim this product is the “alternative to Botox.” The mix of ingredients seem to the common eye that they would be a good mix; but no lab results or expert claims are made making me wary of this product. The company’s disposition to sell multiple similar products all causes me trepidation in regards to this product; but it is a relatively cheap product for two ounces.
