According to foreign media, the use of a plant from the Amazon rainforest rich in active ingredients, Acmella oleracea, is a beauty secret. Celebrities would instead use it as a substitute for Botox injections to fight wrinkles and smooth the skin.
Its cosmetic use can be beneficial for our skin, "but it does not have medical properties, so intraepidermal results will never be achieved as we do with infiltrations," says Dr. Mar Mira, co-director of the Mira+Cueto Clinic.
