Hello Interloper!

What do we actually want from an anti-ageing product? I for my part would certainly want my anti-ageing skincare to help regenerate my skin and boost collagen and elastin production to have long-lasting benefits.
But you see - true changes in skin biology (such as an increase of collagen and elastin production with improved skin elasticity and firmness) do take time - typically at least 4-12 weeks. It’s impossible for a skincare ingredient to induce true biological changes such as the ones I mentioned in a few minutes or even seconds, something we are made to believe when watching those YouTube videos with miraculously disappearing wrinkles.
Any immediately visible effects are pure visual effects for that moment, not changes in skin biology with an increase in collagen production or anything like that.
So what is causing those instantly visible ‘effects’?
I suspect what might be responsible for the demonstrated immediate miracle ‘effect' is that one or several of the ingredients (maybe the silicone derivatives also present in this product) form an invisible film on the skin surface. When drying, this transparent film might retract and shrink, thus making the skin APPEAR tighter - nothing more and nothing less. This is in my opinion a purely temporary effect and I don’t think it’s even the Argireline causing this.
