Skin Doctors: Australian cosmeceutical firm's Vipertox contains synthetic snake venom to help "immobilize facial contractions" for two hours following application and prevent wrinkles from forming over time, according to the company, which displayed the product at the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Marketplace June 5-8 in San Diego.
