TikTok user goes viral as she claims affordable anti-ageing serums are 'botox in a bottle'

One TikTok profile has gone viral in recent days for sharing a cheap alternative to high-end skincare which she describes as “botox in a bottle.”

Many women and men consider getting treatments here and there to prevent the ageing process - however, for most, shelling out anything between €250 and €500 for a pop of botox can be a bit much.

If you’re more inclined to shop on a budget, you could try the serums recommended by @nicolehore, who is absolutely singing their praises.

Both serums are from the cult favourite skincare brand The Ordinary and come to just €20 together.

In a short video on her page, Nicole said: "The wrinkles in my forehead have always stood out to me.

"So I wanted to see if I could do anything to make them appear blurred and softer.

"The answer is an absolute yes with these two products. I was stunned."

To try this trick, all you need to do is combine the Argireline solution 10% and Matrixyl 10% and apply the mixture, daily.

These are both peptides, or proteins that smooth and repair skin, as well as hyaluronic acid, which hydrates deeply and plumps out fine lines.

Argireline works to prevent muscle movement, which leads to wrinkle formation. It also promotes collagen production, making it a great ingredient.

Matrixyl is also a type of synthetic peptide that has the ability to stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer and smoother skin.

You can pick up the Argireline solution here for €8.80. You can check out the Matrixyl here for €11.90.
