Synthetic snake venom reduces muscle cell contractions that cause wrinkles

(14/08/2009)

Normally Botox injections are the only answer to a wrinkle free, plumped up complexion, but by using a revolutionary new ingredient – Syn-ake, Planet Skincare has produced a miracle cream.

Syn-ake is synthetic snake venom engineered to mimic the real thing. The venom in the Temple Viper has paralytic properties that are due to a combination of three amino acids bound together that inhibit, or block, the signals to the muscle to contract. When used in skin care, it has the ability to reduce muscle cell contractions that cause wrinkles, and in doing so, provides botox-like results.

To benefit from all the good qualities of a Temple Viper’s Venom, without encountering the Viper first hand - Planet Skincare Daily Moisturiser (£60.00) is a miracle worker.

Clinical tests have shown that 80% of the volunteers showed a remarkable smoothing effect and an anti-wrinkle effect was demonstrated in 73 per cent of the volunteers over a 28-day period. Syn-ake won the 2006 Swiss Technology Awards for its innovation and technical capabilities.

Planet Skincare’s Anti-Ageing Moisturizer also works to rejuvenate collagen in the skin and to provide the skin with essential nutrients and powerful antioxidants to keep the skin cells healthy and protect against ageing. Planet Skincare's products are paraben free and are not tested on animals. Other ingredients include passionflower oil, rose flower water, mango, calendula oil, jojoba and vitamin E acetate.

How to use: Apply every morning or evening after cleansing skin, gently patting directly onto the face, neck and décolleté.

Planet Skincare is available from Selfridges and Fenwick Brent Cross, Bond Street London
