I have been using Avotone Anti Wrinkle Relaxant Cream for years on and off. I find it to be one of the most effective wrinkle relaxers out there. Many make big claims but Avotone does what it says. This is NOT Botox in a bottle. However, it does relax the muscles under the skin, thus relaxing expression lines and making them appear less harsh and deep.
The Product
This product comes in a one-ounce jar (30 day supply) and is white. You simply apply it sparingly on expression lines like forehead, between the brow and around the mouth. This contains a relaxant that will slightly paralyze the muscles under the line and, thus, relax the lines. Don't get nervous. This is so gentle that there is no TRUE paralyzation like with Botox. It's very subtle. But it works.
My Use
I admit, I am freaked by lines showing up on my face. I tend to squint in sunlight (I rarely wore sunglasses until recently) and developed a vertical furrow between my brows that I hate. I also have a few light lines on my forehead from expression facials. These are different from wrinkles that form as a result of sagging skin or age although I am sure they are on their way. Wrinkle relaxants can stop further expression lines from forming or, at least slow them considerably as well as soften the ones you already have.
Botox would probably erase these lines but I don't want to go there. So, I have tried a few wrinkle relaxants. One I like is DDF Wrinkle Relax but that is more for those with very shallow and few lines. Avotone Anti Wrinkle Relaxant Cream is the best I have tried of all the relaxants so far.
The main ingredient in this and most other wrinkle relaxants is Argireline (acetyl-hexapeptide-3). This ingredient is what causes the mild relaxation of the muscles under the skin. This product has 10% of Argireline, the highest amount the skin can absorb. Others may have a higher percentage but it won't matter since your skin can only absorb a certain amount of this chemical. 10% is the ideal amount so look for that in any wrinkle relaxant.
Also in Avotone is avocado oil, which has been touted as a great skin product for a number of things besides wrinkles and lines. Avocado oil also helps transport the Argireline to the proper areas so it can do its job.
ANYWAY ... I use it on my forehead and on the outside of my eyes (Not too close!). The scent is pleasant and the product is creamy. I did feel a very slight burning sensation when I first started using it but that passed within a few days. After that, my skin felt moisturized and fine with no flaking or tightness.
This product is designed to be used over time. That is, unlike The Joey NY Correct A Line products that I have reviewed, you won't see immediate results. It takes around a month of every night application for the product to work.
I saw changes within 20 days and more after a month of continuous use.
You use this before any other skin care product, then go ahead with you usual routine. You will find you won't need as much moisturizer because the avocado oil will soften and tone the skin.
You will see a relaxing of expression lines but you will NOT see complete reversal of them. No cream can do that. This is a cosmetic cream and, while I find it to be effective enough for me, if you want to really zap lines, you have to do the Botox thing.
If you want to relax lines and prevent further ones with a safe, gentle product, Avotone Anti Wrinkle Relaxant Cream is one I urge you to try. Many make huge claims - They're better than Botox, they're as good as Botox, they will turn back the clock 25 years - but they simply can't live up to those claims.
Avotone doesn't say those things. And it guarantees its product for 60 days. Try it and, if you don't like it, you will get a refund. And they stand behind that because I know someone who took advantage of the guarantee.
They often have specials and sales and they do have an auto-ship program which is much cheaper than buying a one-ounce jar as a one time thing.

My Viewpoint
I have used Avotone Anti Wrinkle Relaxant Cream for a long time on and off. I would find something new, try that, be disappointed, and go back to Avotone. I just recently started to use the product again after a long hiatus of dabbling with all kinds of other things that didn't work well.
This product is NOT a quick fix. You need to give it time to work and you need to realize it is a gentle relaxing of the lines and will not replace Botox injections. It's gentle and, when purchased on auto-ship, affordable. It doesn't make the skin freeze or look unnatural and it does work. It won't make you line free but it will lessen the depth of the lines and soften your face.
Men and women use this product and some love it, others don't feel it gives their lines enough relaxation. I suggest you try Avotone for yourself. Their guarantee assures you that you have plenty of time to decide for yourself whether you want to use it or not.
I give this 4 stars. Not a miracle in a jar but a little bit of help for those of us who refuse to age gracefully and are fighting every step of the way.
