Hibiscus seed extract (Hydrolysed Hibiscus esculentus and dextrin) contains botanical oligopeptides which efficacy tests by Laboratories Serbologiques in France and Monash University in Australia have shown will reduce the mechanical factor responsible for expression lines.
Hibiscus esculentus is used to tighten and plump the skin, thereby giving a smooth appearance without the use of needles or toxins. In addition, topical application can help extend the time required between other, more drastic anti-age procedures.
