We live in a time when some skincare formulas can work magic similar to injectables—without, of course, pricking our complexions (lucky us!!). Whether you’re in between Botox sessions or looking for a Botox alternative that is less invasive, Botox cream for wrinkles is becoming more and more impressive, and the latest “Botox in a bottle” has the clinical results to prove it.
Dr. Brandt is known for innovative formulas that push boundaries and deliver some of the best results you can get without booking an appointment with your dermatologist, or going into a med spa. And, for over 20 years, the brand has created skincare products inspired by injectables, making it possible to smooth wrinkles and plump the skin without leaving your house.
With each release, the products get more and more innovative, and Dr. Brandt’s latest launch, the Wrinkle Release Serum, is its first full-face skin-smoothing serum, so you can target those crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles in one step.
Regular application also helps re-texturize the complexion, promoting cellular turnover, collagen stimulation, and DNA repair over time. And in a clinical study of 25 people, 100% said it helped lift the skin around their eyes after 15 minutes of wear, and improved the appearance of expression lines after a month of regular use in their morning and nighttime skincare routines.
What Customers Say: The serum was only released in mid-March, but customers are also already seeing results. “I’ve been using this the past week 2x day, and I’ve noticed a difference in the lines around my mouth and marionette areas,” says one customer. “This stuff is great, my new holy grail. Soaks right in, fast acting, long lasting, I won’t be without it,” says another. One customer also notes that the serum made their dark under-eye circles “vanish.”
At $68 per bottle, the serum is much cheaper than a trip to the med spa—and you can knock that price down to $61 when you sign up for a subscription.
Size: 1 oz.
Ingredients: Regenerative and smoothing actives, including vegan PDRN, Adenosine, and a multi-active tightening complex
Skin Type: All skin types can benefit
How to Use Dr. Brandt Wrinkle Release Serum
Incorporating the Dr. Brandt Wrinkle Release Serum is easy peasy. For best results, give your skin a gentle exfoliation once or twice a week. This will help improve the overall effectiveness, since your skin can better absorb the product (the same goes for all of the other formulas in your routine).
On the days you don’t exfoliate, Dr. Brand recommends applying Dermal Micro Points ($98) to your routine every 2 to 3 nights. This gel formula is designed to mimic microneedling—without, you know, actually pricking your face with a bunch of needles—helping to boost collagen production. It also works synergistically with the Wrinkle Release Serum to boost the benefits of both products.
To apply the Wrinkle Release Serum, slide the button to unlock, then remove the cap. Squeeze the sides to release formula and apply to clean skin morning and night, before your moisturizer. Allow the serum to fully absorb (about 15 minutes) before following up with a hydrating face cream, such as the Dr. Brandt Hyaluronic Face Cream. Skin should appear deeply nourished with a plumping effect that smooths over fine lines and other expression lines.
