Botocare

What is it?

The Botocare Line by skin-care brand Swiss Getal. Products are made in Switzerland using rich

plant extracts.

What does it do?

The unisex brand says it can achieve a similar effect to botulinum, the main ingredient in Botox, but without the needles. Instead of paralysing the muscles, it relaxes them.

How does it work?

It limits muscle contractions and reduces the depth of wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes. Botocare Serum (HK$1,200/15ml) is a light, easily absorbed gel containing vitamin C (to stimulate collagen synthesis) and various ingredients to moisturise, hydrate and restructure the skin.

What other products are there?

Designed for use with the serum, Botocare Cream (HK$1,900/50ml) can be used morning and night. It has ingredients such as apricot kernel oil and vitamin E. And there's SPF15 protection. There's also Botocare Mask (HK$1,300/50ml) with ocean extracts and essential minerals to stimulate the skin's natural defences and combat free radicals. It can be used two to three times a week and is supposed to firm and tighten the skin around the eyes.

Is there more?

There's Cellular Cleansing Mousse (HK$375/75ml), Cellular Purifying Cleanser (HK$480/250ml), and Cellular Refreshing Toner (HK$430/250ml).

Where can I get it?
