It works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters that cause muscle contractions, leading to a reduction in the depth and visibility of wrinkles, especially expression lines.

It has water-binding properties that help to improve skin moisture levels, making it appear plumper and smoother.

Some research suggests that it may also help to stimulate collagen production, which is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

It is often considered a safer and milder alternative to Botox for reducing wrinkles, as it doesn't require injections and has fewer potential side effects.

It is generally well-tolerated and can be used by people with sensitive skin.
