There is a chemical in hot peppers called capsaicin and a company called BlairLab has developed a facial cream called BioCap using this as their primary active ingredient. They say it magically erases crows' feet and laugh lines and that users "report a marked improvement in wrinkle depth, length and volume, while skin roughness virtually disappears. BioCap gives women a smoother, younger complexion, fewer wrinkles, and fast results without expensive and painful peels, implants or injections. It gives you a youthful, healthy, glowing complexion faster than Retinol, far superior to vitamin C, and without irritation, needles, or surgery."
On their website they say they have 11,000 users, and that 80 percent of them have already re-ordered or referred BioCap since they launched a few months ago. (Never mind that in another PR statement, Cougars Crave Biocap they say that BioCap is the crème de la crème that has helped turn back the clock for 'millions of baby-boomer beauties'.)
