The Ordinary - abc1111 review for Argireline Solution 10%

SRP: $7.90 SIZE: 30 mL/ 1 oz Period After Opening: 12 months I’m very happy with this affordable and effective product! Already repurchased and will continue to do so. First off, I unwillingly furrow my brows almost all the time. I try to stop it by relaxing the muscles, but they keep returning to their tensed state. There are already creases between my brows (a.k.a. number 11’s, frown lines, or glabellar lines) and I didn’t want them to deepen so I started using retinoids. Love the results, however, I still find myself furrowing my brows all the time! Enter the The Ordinary’s Argireline Solution 10%. The Argreline Solution has a short ingredient list: Water, Propanediol, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Gellan Gum, Sodium Chloride, Isoceteth-20, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin. It’s water based and free of oil, silicone, alcohol, and fragrance. The star ingredient is, obviously, Argireline or Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. This is a peptide that increases level of moisture on skin, reduces wrinkle depth, and most importantly, prevents contraction of small facial muscles that cause wrinkles (forehead lines, number 11’s, and crow’s feet). The solution looks like a watery gel. It turns quickly into water on contact with skin. It’s immediately cooling, refreshing, and soothing. It’s not heavy, sticky, nor greasy. It disappears on skin, like I’ve applied nothing. I use this on my forehead — three drops, massage it in, making sure to concentrate between my brows, then I add another three drops. The key is to apply more than what you think is enough. This gives me relief from headaches and migraines. It’s temporary but it’s much needed. The best result was noticed after about three months of use and that is the reduction of tension between my eyebrows. Before, I was constantly forcing my brows to relax. Now, there’s no need because my brows aren’t unintentionally furrowed anymore. Yay! Edit: I started using this on my jaws and it significantly reduced my involuntary jaw clenching. Will probably be gone in a few weeks time. I really love this product!
