Botox Serum Alternative: Peptide Serums for Expression Lines

Why a serum works more intensively than a cream

• Higher concentration: a serum contains significantly more actives per application than a cream.
• Light texture: it absorbs quickly and completely and leaves room for the subsequent cream.
• Targeted application: you can apply it specifically to the forehead, frown area and eye area.
• Combinable: as the TREAT step, it intensifies the effect of any cream.

The peptides in our Botox serum alternatives

• Syn-Ake: a synthetic peptide modelled on a peptide from the venom of the temple viper. It contains no venom and visibly smooths expression lines.
• Cyclopeptide-5 and ChroNoline: support the firmness and structure of the skin.
• MBR SmoothM8 Complex: contains SNAP-8, an octapeptide that also targets expression lines.
• Liftonin-Xpress: visibly tightens the skin within minutes.

• TREAT: apply a few drops of your serum morning and evening and work them in, focusing on the forehead, frown area and eye area.
• CLOSE: finish with a peptide cream from our collection Botox cream alternative. For the eye area, use a formula from our collection anti-wrinkle eye cream.
• During the day: protect your skin from UV light with our face sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions about Botox serums

• Which Botox serum alternative suits me?
  If you want to soften expression lines and firm the skin, the Liquid Surgery Serum is ideal. If you also want a visible lifting effect, choose the Cross Lift Serum Ultrapeptide. For demanding skin, THE BEST Concentrate is the right choice.
• Botox serum or Botox cream?
  Ideally both. The serum delivers the peptides in high concentration (TREAT), and a Botox cream alternative seals them in (CLOSE).
• Is a Botox serum a real alternative to an injection?
  A peptide serum does not achieve the same effect as an injection, but visibly softens expression lines with regular use, without needles or downtime. Many people use it to complement aesthetic treatments. You will find suitable aftercare in our collection skincare after laser, peels & Botox, and more about peptides without needles in our guide Botox alternative.
• How long does it take for a Botox serum to work?
  Liftonin-Xpress in the Cross Lift Serum Ultrapeptide tightens visibly within minutes. Results on expression lines usually appear after several weeks of regular use.
• Can I use a Botox serum around the eyes?
  Apply the serum around the eye area, but not directly on the mobile eyelid. For the delicate skin around the eyes, a specialised eye cream is the better choice.
