Yes, I’ve been a little MIA lately, but I’m still here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have some fancy new skincare, I’ve been doing some fancy new treatments, and they all go great with my fancy new perfume. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The latest obsession is Skinceuticals P-Tiox which they’re trying to tell us is giving the effect of Botox in a bottle – meaning that it can soften the look of wrinkles. I don’t have to tell you that the claim is bogus, you already know, but we live in a world of dupes, so here we are. The irony is that this serum costs close the same amount you would pay for 10 units of botox in your face ($180 on the Skinceuticals website, last I checked), and it’ll last you 6 months just like your Botox. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT! Claims aside, I love this serum and the fact that it cocktails ingredients to give you a multitude of benefits, which is what makes it worth its price. I’ve been using some cheaper skincare recently, and layering the serums one active at a time is not fun, but P-Tiox already has peptides for softening fine lines, niacinamide for brightening, and a poly-hydroxy acid that helps with skin texture. You can get everything in one little bottle, it’s scientifically blended to work together, and there’s no more layering needed. I use this in the morning after vitamin C, top with sunscreen, and that’s it. It does actually improve skin texture and radiance, so I’m sticking with it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
