Is my activated charcoal face cream causing my botox injections to wear off quicker?

Asked By:Lash_LaRoux in Tacoma, WA

I have been using a face scrub and cream that has activated charcoal in it. I love it and It works really good to keep my skin from breaking out. However, I just started getting botox injections in my forehead. It seems to smooth out my lines and give me great results, but every time I get another injection it is wearing off after two months. Could the activated charcoal extract the botox at a faster rate? Or what could be causing it to fade so quickly?
