Five smiling women with different skin tones, laughing together

Every expression leaves its mark.

Smiling, laughing, frowning and squinting repeatedly contract the muscles beneath the skin. Younger skin bounces back. As collagen and elasticity decline with age, those movements begin to leave lines that remain even when your face is at rest.

The science behind Paracress (Acmella oleracea)

Paracress contains spilanthol, a naturally occurring bioactive compound studied for its effect on expression lines.

Unlike skincare that works primarily on the skin itself, spilanthol acts on neuromuscular activity, helping to temporarily reduce the muscle contractions that contribute to expression lines.

It isn’t botulinum toxin, and it doesn’t require a needle. It’s a different approach to expression lines, applied through the skin.

The result is visibly softer lines, without the frozen look.

It’s why Paracress is in every ParaVera™ formula.
