The old mantra must be restated, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
There are no creams on the market that reduce muscular contraction. Really! If you want the effectiveness of Botox, save up your money for Botox. Is that simple.

Now about that scientific study. I found one article, not sure how reliable it is, but it says something about Lapurete: http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/features/print/1893/the-science-cosmetics

Cite: 'Twice daily, 20 male and female volunteers applied a liquid containing Myoxinol, a patented extract of okra (Hibiscus esculentus) seed, to one side of their faces''. (20 is pretty small number of participants)

Questionable ''independent'' clinical trial: ''But Finnin's research, commissioned by a cosmetics company, is unlikely to be published in a scientific journal. It's hard to even find studies that show the active ingredients in cosmetics penetrate the skin, let alone more comprehensive research on their effects. Even when rigorous studies are commissioned, companies usually control whether the work is published in the traditional scientific literature''.

''But the big question for consumers is: do the skincare products we buy off the shelf have the same effects on human skin?''

"The short answer is there isn't any evidence", says Stephen Shumack, the Honorary Secretary of the Australasian College of Dermatologists. Shumack doubts that today's cosmeceuticals do anything different from yesterday's cosmetics. "Personally I would recommend people save their money for a nice holiday and use vaseline and sunscreen (exactly!)," says Shumack.''.
