Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate
A43 - Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate
The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 is a topical "notox" alternative that helps reduce the appearance of expression lines without freezing natural facial movements.
A cream designed for expression lines
The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 is suitable for all skin types showing expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), around the eyes (crow's feet), or around the mouth (nasolabial folds).
Expression lines are known as dynamic wrinkles, primarily caused by repeated facial movements. They usually appear before age-related wrinkles, which result from the gradual decline of collagen and elastin in the skin and remain visible even at rest. The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 specifically targets expression lines, with an immediate smoothing effect and a preventive action over time.
A film-forming texture that provides an immediate tightening effect
Thanks to its film-forming texture, the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 creates an imperceptible network on the skin's surface that provides an immediate tightening effect.
A formula enriched with inhibiting peptides
10% Inhibiting Peptide Complex:
This complex combines acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) and pentapeptide-18 (Leuphasyl), two biomimetic peptides that modulate communication between neurons and muscle fibers. They reduce the release of neurotransmitters responsible for micro-contractions, thereby decreasing the intensity of repeated creases on the skin's surface. These peptides soften expression lines by mimicking the action of Botox, which paralyzes muscles, but they are gentler and provide a solution that does not freeze facial expressions.
Hyaluronic Acid:
The hyaluronic acid used here is of low molecular weight, which facilitates its penetration into the epidermis. It attracts and retains water in the stratum corneum, thus filling in dehydration fine lines and making the skin more supple, smoother, and less marked.
Magnesium Salts:
Magnesium salts form a tightening film on the skin's surface, creating an immediately noticeable smoothing mechanical effect. This reduces the visibility of expression lines.
Proven efficacy in 5 minutes and progressive wrinkle smoothing

How to apply the targeted skin-tightening concentrate a43?
Apply daily a thin line of product directly onto the expression line, after your moisturizer. Gently massage using zigzag movements, perpendicular to the wrinkle, until fully absorbed. Do not rinse. Can be used in the morning and/or evening.
In the morning, apply it as the last step of your skincare routine, before any tinted products. Wait 30 to 60 seconds for it to dry, then apply your makeup by gently patting it on, without rubbing.
Who is the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 for?
The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 is suitable for all skin types showing expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), around the eyes (crow's feet), or around the mouth (nasolabial folds).
Is the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 suitable if I already have pronounced wrinkles?
The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 can be applied to all types of wrinkles. However, it is particularly suited for fine expression lines, where results can be seen in as little as 5 minutes. Expression lines are known as dynamic wrinkles, primarily caused by repeated facial movements. They typically appear before aging wrinkles, which are more due to the decrease in collagen and elastin in the skin and remain visible even when at rest. The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 specifically targets expression lines, providing an immediate smoothing effect and a preventive action over time.
Is the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 compatible with makeup?
In the morning, the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 can be used after your moisturizer, at the end of your skincare routine, just before applying any tinted product. It can be applied under makeup and does not leave any residue.
Can the tightening effect accentuate wrinkles or dry out the skin?
The tightening effect felt is primarily mechanical. The film-forming texture of the product creates a network on the skin's surface that smooths out fine expression lines without marking or drying out the skin.
How long do the results last before needing to reapply the product?
The results are visible as long as the film on the skin's surface remains present. Therefore, the product needs to be reapplied each time the face is cleaned.
What is the difference between this product and a traditional anti-wrinkle serum?
The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 is applied locally and directly on expression lines, unlike a traditional serum that is applied over the entire face. Therefore, it has a more targeted action.
It also benefits from a film-forming texture that creates a network on the skin's surface. A tightening effect is immediately felt, and expression lines are reduced within 5 minutes. At the same time, the peptides and hyaluronic acid in the formula provide long-term effectiveness as well.
Is the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 compatible with other firming products and products containing retinol?
There are no contraindications to using the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 with another firming product or with a product containing retinol. In fact, it can be used in the morning and/or evening.
In what order should I incorporate the Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 into my routine?
The Targeted Skin-Tightening Concentrate A43 can be used both morning and evening. In the morning, it can be applied after your moisturizer, at the end of your skincare routine, just before applying any tinted products.
In the evening, it can be applied after your moisturizer, at the end of your skincare routine, just before applying any oily product.
What should I know if I am concerned about ingredient compatibility?
The brand notes that ingredient lists are regularly updated, so it is best to read the list on the product packaging before use. This helps ensure the ingredients are suitable for your personal needs.
