Avotone bases its wrinkle related claims on an ingredient called Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 or Arigeline. By using this ingredient, avotone relaxes the facial muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, particularly in the forehead. They place themselves as an alternative to botox. In addition, it uses avocado oil to moisturize and smooth the skin without making the skin greasy.

Avotone has a short, simple list of ingredients, which I appreciate. When there are too many ingredients, especially ones the company made up or otherwise cannot be found elsewhere, I begin to wonder what they are trying to hide. Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, used in Avotone, has been speculated to relax the muscles and thereby reduce wrinkles. Avocado oil has often been used to moisturize the skin, and it contains many vitamins and minerals useful for the body in many respects. Moreover, they provide a 60 day money back guarantee, which is unusual with most companies.

Though it has been speculated avotone’s main ingredient, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, can relax the muscles and reduce wrinkles, this has never actually been proven. There is little scientific evidence or otherwise to back those claims. They also use a proprietary blend, which at best is questionable. At worst, it means they are hiding fillers or otherwise a small amount of the supposedly useful ingredients. There were testimonials. But all of them I found were on the avotone website, another website sponsored by avotone, or a website trying to otherwise sell avotone. So I don’t give much credence to those supposed testimonials.

Avotone claims to be innovative with an ingredient supposedly comparable to botox. However, with no evidence to back up the claims regarding this ingredient and no customer testimonials outside websites designed to sell avotone some way or another, their foundation is shaky. When they have an otherwise strong base and use a proprietary blend, I am willing to give them leeway. However, avotone has no basis and then they use a proprietary blend, only adding insult to injury. The only good qualities they have is their 60 day money back guarantee and a moisturizing ingredient.
