I could see them working similarly to Retin-A, which simply puffs up the skin through irritating it so that wrinkles are stretched out of existence. The stem cells, though ... the whole reason they excite people is because they turn into other cells. A plant stem cell simply isn't going to turn into anything an animal can use, which is why I picked that. The thing about the cactus spines and snake venom though, is that they are irritants.

Um, totally different biological kingdom; can't see as how those cells are gonna turn into anything useful for an animal. *shrug* I think I voted apple stem cells.
