There are so many products out there that promise to be better than botox and very, very few that actually live up to the claim. Face it – a topical cream or lotion is never going to achieve the same results as the original, injected product. There are, however, plenty of people who cannot stomach the thought of needles and/or introducing a toxin into their system. For them, these topical products genuinely are better than botox provided they deliver similar benefits.

One such product is Dermacai, a new kid on the Acai block. No doubt you’ve heard of these berries with their remarkable health-giving and rejuvenating properties. Dermacai is based on the same super food extract and promises to erase both fine lines and deeper wrinkles. In tests, 90% of users reported noticeably smoother skin, 84% firmer skin and 83% fewer wrinkles. While on paper these results appear impressive I was keen to try the product for myself and subject it to personal scrutiny.

Dermacai boasts both instant and longer term effects, proudly displaying before and after shots which have apparently erased wrinkles in just 30 seconds. These instant improvements come courtesy of its Bio-Fil skin-plumping spheres and I was pleasantly surprised to find they actually worked. My fine lines disappeared almost entirely and my deeper wrinkles were visibly softened. Two weeks on, I can see a definite difference in skin tone and texture and my complexion is both brighter and more even. Dermacai is one product I’m keeping in my skincare arsenal. If you, too, want a super effective weapon in the war against aging I suggest you grab some for yourself.
