Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a peptide. A common name for this peptide is Argireline.
Argireline has a similar function to botox; it prevents muscle movement and contractions slightly. By preventing muscles from moving, argireline also prohibits the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. However, research is lacking in proving this ingredient to be as effective as botox.
On the other hand, argireline tells our body to create more collagen. Collagen is a protein that makes connective tissue. Boosting collagen production leads to a healthier skin barrier. Having a healthy skin barrier means having firm and hydrated skin.

TL;DR: Does nothing, but at least not very expensive. Irritating around the eyes.
I've used this for about 2-3 weeks now, and picked it up specifically for my undereye wrinkles, but it just burns them and dried them out. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave you sticky like other serums. Don't let people fool you by telling you it's "Botox in a bottle." It's not. I used it on my smile lines and Show more
I could not live without this.
I have used this for a few years . I am 55 and my skin has not aged . I hardly have any wrinkles and I refuse to have fillers or Botox. This is a great product!

This is some pretty amazing stuff, it's what makes my skin glow! Bifida is great for the skin barrier and pumpkin fruit ferment filtrate has exfoliation properties. It also has peptides and niacinamide. Basically te entire INCI is amazing and it's also FA safe. The other version - Bifida BIOME Complex Ampoule - is *not* FA safe but it's very easy to get them mixed up because they look identical. Show more
So I have oily, sensitive, and acne prone skin and let me just say—this serum is absolutely incredible! My skin is so finicky about products and ingredients that normally work wonders for others. So, when I heard the positive reviews from others about this product I was prepared for it to be yet another flop…But THIS serum omg! It’s outstanding. I notice my skin is less red after using this, my Show more
