Botox creams tend to be a hoax

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Best face cream after Botox?

Do you get a face cream with Botox? Is there an aftercare treatment that I should use to keep the wrinkles from returning?

There are many creams claiming to contain neuropeptides that act in a fashion similar to Botox bit there is no evidence that these work.

Just because a raisin is a dehydrated grape, it doesn't mean that rubbing water all over it will make it turn back into a grape.

There are few moisturizers that are superior to simple petrolatum jelly.
