Problematic statement[edit]

this article is soo misleading and just a company jumping on the botox phenomenon that is at the moment.............how can a product penetrate through to the skin to freeze muscle surely it has to be intravenous to have that effect!!!

The article says:

"It has been suggested that in large concentrations Argireline can cause the skin to sag. However, the peptide complex works by relaxing the muscles rather than affecting the skin."

This refutation (the last sentence) doesn't make sense, because "skin sagging" is caused by the sagging (i.e. the overly relaxed state) of facial muscles and ligaments, in the first place. And so, if the peptide relaxes the underlying structure (the muscles), it might indeed result in a sagging appearance of the skin. The argument that is being supposedly refuted is, therefore, perfectly valid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.6.172 (talk) 23:58, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the sentence. I also removed the statements "However, the small amounts of Argireline used in cosmetics make it a much milder alternative." (WP:PEACOCK) and "very small amounts" (referring to 10% Argireline in cosmetics). --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 18:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally no good scientific references are given. This should be stated. The article feels more like advertizing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.216.5.34 (talk) 13:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have already toned down the article, but since it still seems to be too advertizing, I've added an {{Advert}} now. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 15:32, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
