Negatives in English

Hi, there

Could you help me?

Would you use "not" or "neither" in this sentence? And "or" or "nor"?

"Not/Neither with all the remedies in the world, nor/not/or with all the soap, will these wrinkles ever go away"

Please, just tell me what you would say, please

My interpretation (hope it helps.)

Not with all the remedies in the world, nor with all the soap, will these wrinkles go away.

Neither with all the remedies in the world or with all the soap, will these wrinkles ever go away.

Not with all the remedies in the world, nor with all the soap, will these wrinkles ever go away?

As you can see by removing a comma in the second and adding a question mark in the last one the sentence grammatically changes but the words are still able to apply.
