Vialox

What is Vialox?

Vialox is the innovative muscle tension reducer derived from a traditional South American plant—a pentapeptide based on the structure of a compound found in Acmella oleracea (also known as the "toothache plant") that naturally reduces muscle tension. This biomimetic peptide works as a competitive antagonist to acetylcholine, gently preventing muscle contraction signals from fully activating. Think of it as a traffic moderator for your facial expression signals, reducing congestion rather than blocking roads completely. It's the skincare equivalent of a stress-reduction technique that doesn't eliminate emotions but helps prevent their excessive physical manifestation. For those seeking to soften expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement, Vialox delivers visible but natural-looking reduction in wrinkle appearance with studies showing up to 49% decrease in contraction frequency, creating a more relaxed appearance ideal for those who feel other muscle-relaxing ingredients create too much immobility.
