Nip and tuck cream boots skin#
It can be a skin irritant.īoots bills Nip + Fab Frown Fix as a “filler” and it comes in pen-like packaging enabling you to paint it in your lines for a plumping effect. I can only imagine that it is used here as a cheap way of whitening the cream. It is typically used as a radiocontrast agent in x-rays and in making white paint.
Making my brows pucker is barium sulfate. This would seem to be counter to the effects of the GABA and purslane. It’s been shown to increase muscle strength and raise the body’s human growth hormone. Creatine naturally has a vital role in supplying energy to skeletal muscle and nerve cells. What I don’t understand is what creatine is doing here. Animal tests demonstrated it to have skeletal muscle relaxant effects and topical application onto the skin was found to be effective in relieving muscle spasms. Much to my surprise, this might be a frown fixer as well. Unfortunately, though, there isn’t any independent research that demonstrates that it works topically.Ī more unusual and really interesting inclusion is the herb purslane (listed as portulaca oleracea). By applying it topically, it is supposed to limit expression and the lines created by facial movement.
This is an amino acid (known as GABA) that acts as a neurotransmitter, inhibiting nerve transmission in the brain and thereby calming nervous activity. Looking at the ingredient list, the most obvious instant frown fix is amino butyric acid. Nip + Fab Frown Fix isn’t in the US yet (although Jennifer Aniston is supposed to be a fan), but the obvious question is whether we should be starting a stateside wait list.īoots’ marketing people seem to have been flagging a bit when they came up with the name for the Nip + Fab Frown Fix active: Grant X. Their recent launch of Nip + Fab Frown Fix (about $17) had people a wait list of 8,000, threatening to outdo the success of No7 Protect & Perfect Serum, which reportedly had customers “fighting in the aisles” after queuing outside the store. You have to hand it to the marketing team at Boots (a drugstore chain in the UK), they don’t just hype their anti-aging beauty products, they generate hype that actually works.
