The text claims bay leaves are “100,000 times more powerful than Botox,” but this is a fabricated marketing number. Botox is a prescription neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles to stop wrinkles. Bay leaves contain no such compounds, and applying them topically cannot reverse deep structural wrinkles caused by collagen loss.
路 Safety Warning: Applying bay leaf oil or paste directly to your face can cause severe contact dermatitis, chemical burns, and skin irritation. These leaves are intended for consumption or aromatic use, not for skincare.
