This cream claims to have effects close to botox. What have you heard about it?

I just attended a lecture where we were updated on all of the neurotoxins (Botox and it's competitors) that are currently FDA approved and those at various stages of development.  There is a "topical Botox" that is being worked on, but is not yet approved.  I would be very careful and skeptical of someone advertising this right now. 

that's quite a claim to make - Botox is extremely effective and reliable - unlikely that an untested and non-FDA approved topical cream has Botox-like effects.

There aren't creams available that have the exact same results of botox. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to discuss options for both your short and long term goals. Dr. Emer

Sadly, there are many products out there that claim to be as good as or to have the same effects as Botox.  This isn't correct and leaves the buyer sad and out of luck.  Creams can help in a variety of ways but they won't do the same thing as a medical procedure in most cases (except when it comes to lightening agents such as Retin-A and 4% hydroquinone).  Best wishes!

This is simply not true. There are many creams on the market that claim to have the same effects of Botox. Do not be fooled by them. Creams are helpful in many ways but will never be as helpful as a cosmetic procedure

I have yet to see any cream come close to providing the same effect as Botox

The topical form that is being developed has not yet come to market but it would be interesting to see how it compares directly.  

Hello and thank you for your question. I believe there is a cream that is going to come on the market that would have similar results as injected Botox has, but it has not been cleared by the FDA. Keep this in mind when using products that you are not sure what they contain. Hope this helps, Dr. S. 

Hello, and thanks for your question. I do not think that cream will produce the same results as Botox. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.  

Botox is a great product and they are indeed working on a topical Botox cream.  It is not FDA approved yet.  Best, Dr. Green

If and when a topical solution that works as well as Botox is developed, the makers will have no problem marketing it because doctors everywhere will be eager to use it.  Unfortunately, no such cream exists. This cream, like all the other before it, will sell for a while based on hype. Once the poor results are seen by enough people, it will disappear and another cream will take its place.
