What the research shows

Visible improvement in expression lines

In a published in-vivo study, a serum containing 2% Acmella oleracea extract was applied twice daily for two weeks. Objective skin-replica analysis found improvements across measured wrinkle parameters, with statistically significant reductions in wrinkle area, number and length around the eyes.

Independent clinical efficacy testing conducted by Dermatest on a separate skincare formulation containing spilanthol and Acmella oleracea found a significant improvement in individual wrinkle depth in all 20 participants after a single application. The greatest measured improvement was 65.53%.

Research identifies spilanthol as a key bioactive compound in paracress extract. Its activity on facial muscle contraction is one reason it is being studied for the topical treatment of expression lines and wrinkles.

These studies were conducted on formulations containing Paracress extract and/or spilanthol, not on ParaVera™ products themselves. Results from individual formulations should not be assumed to be identical.
