| I have been using the relaxaline with 10% argireline to diminish my crow's feet since the beginning of November. I haven't had any results from it at all and I'm really disappointed. Now I see you can buy products on line with 15% argireline. Has anyone tried the higher strength? Should I give up or try the higher strength first? I really really really want this stuff to work for me. |

My experience with Argireline has been mixed as well, but I have had limited success. I find the Argireline most effective when used on the forehead -- I don't know, maybe it's the nature of the muscles on this part of the face, but I can literally feel the product "numbing" the muscles there and the lines have diminished.
For crow's feet or laugh lines, however, I found it did nothing. Maybe I wasn't persistent enough in using it, but after a while of using it in those areas, I gave up and decided to only apply where it worked -- on the forehead alone.
I don't know if others have had a similar experience to mine, but even for the limited use to which I have put the Argireline, I will continue using it.
And I have used the 15% concentration, so I can't speak to the 10% you've used -- but my own skin care m.o. is, if there's a more potent product in the market, why not try it?
Hope this helps, Diane. |

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the studies on argireline showed that 10% showed results but anything above that actually showed a negative response or adverse effects??? 
What products have 15% argireline in them? |

Until a percent of 15 is found totally safe I would not use it on my face. 10% has worked just fine for me. What would be the adverse effects? I can't answer this but will find out and get back to you. |

Diane argireline never did do anything for me either and I tried 3 different brands. I REALLY wanted it to work too and gave it plenty of time to do so. It apparently works for some, just not for me.

That's so odd that it works for some and not for others. I'd say it has done the best job on my crow's feet and a really nice one on my forehead (but not as good as my crow's feet results). I've been using Relax-A-Line for about 9 mos. now and I only need it maybe every 3 days to keep the lines away. Used to use it every day and then every other day, etc. Maybe my poor, old, thin skin lets it penetrate better?  |

Oh, I hadn't heard that before...about the 15% perhaps having adverse effects...yikes!
The product I've used with 15% argireline is by Aloette. It's a stand-alone gel that they suggest you apply strictly on your lines and not all over the face.
Perhaps I'm wrong about the percentage....I went to their website to double-check, but they don't state the percentage...I could swear when I saw the product on the Shopping Channel they said it had 15% in it.
I don't know....I'll try to follow up on this, though, and I'll probably stop using the 15% until I get more info! |

The main adverse effect that we know of for sure now, would most likely be to your pocketbook. Generally, a higher percentage of Argireline will increase the price of the product since Argireline is a somewhat expensive ingredient.
You are correct that the results in the clinical trials were with a 10% solution.
