BOTOX in a jar by Caroline Crowe
It is being hailed as a "facelift in a jar" and women are clambering to get their hands on it.
Athena 7 Minute Lift anti-wrinkle cream was only launched here this week, but the website has already had 200,000 orders.
Released in the US three years ago, it was handed out to celebs at this year's star-studded Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood. As its name suggests, the cream promises results in just seven minutes and works by temporarily "freezing" the skin and plumping it up. A US study claimed it reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 84 per cent.
The company behind it are so confident of its success they offer a 90-day money back guarantee. The effect only lasts seven to ten hours after the first few applications, but it is claimed continued use can produce long-term results. The cream is made using 12 organic oils, but it is a substance called acetyl hexapeptide-3 that produces the freezing effect.
Belinda Sharrier, 46, a PA from Ilford in Essex said: "After a minute you could feel it tingling and my skin started to feel tighter. Afterwards it felt smoother and you could see a difference in the fine lines around my eyes.
"It is expensive, but you only use a very small amount. If the jar last for 90 days as it claims, I think it's worth investing in it"

YOUTH IN A JAR
If you're jabphobic - no matter how subtle the effects can be (see page 50) - you're probably looking for an alternative to Botox. If you've had your ear to the ground, you will have heard of the latest cream being touted as "Botox in a jar". Athena's 7 minute Lift, which has just launched in the UK, may well have several A-list fans presumably because it was included in their goodie bags at the Golden Globes) and has been featured on Good Morning America, but its main active ingredient is, unfortunately, not so headline-grabbing.
