Posted on March 22, 2011 with No Comments

Some people say that StriVectin is great for reducing stretch marks, others argue that it really doesn’t do anything at all. Because of before and after photos we can see that it has been successful in reducing stretch marks but now more people are coming forward saying that it helped reduce their wrinkles as well. That is why we are talking about strivectin before and after information today.

StriVectin got its start as a stretch mark cream but some people started using it on their face and noticed that their wrinkles started to fade and the skin started to firm. Once they used it for a while they noticed that they looked more youthful. Then they started telling their friends about it and it has caught on.

These days there are thousands of people who have had success using StriVecting or other products like it. There are high approval rates with products like this. Because of this there are also people making products that are not so good but trying to pass them off as overnight miracle creams. Don’t worry these products usually don’t last very long.

When using a product for the first time ask the company you bought it from how it got started and what is the history behind it. This is always a great place to start and learn more about the products you are using. Some products are created to solve specific problems like stretch marks or spider veins where as others help make your skin look younger or firmer. Some of these products can take time to work so it is important to use them as directed and be patient to get the best results.

Researching a new product is important so do your homework and try to find customer testimonials, before and after pictures and reviews if possible. There are some fakes floating around out there but you usually can spot them from a mile away so just pay attention to details and you will be ok.

Any good company will have a money back guarantee for its products, this means they believe in their products so much they will give you your money back if they do not work. This show that the company believes and stands behind their products. This is very important and should be taken into consideration.

So in a new product you should keep an eye out for a few key things. Like is your product natural, does it contain any harmful chemicals, if i stop using it will all the good it has done just fade away? There are also products that focus on very specific areas like the legs, nose, thighs, stomach or buttocks. Naturally some people will age faster than other but you can start using cream early in life to slow down the signs of aging.

Customer reviews are another important aspect of buying a new skin care product. See what other customers have said about it, the good, the bad and the ugly. How well does it work, what does it smell like how well do they like it. How does it compare to other name brand products? How does it differ? What can it do for you? Was it worth the price?

Before spending money for a new product do your homework. Make sure you research so you can be positive that is what you want. Once you have made up your mind than go for it. If the company has a guarantee you have nothing to worry about. Keep in mind there are no miracle cures so be patient and research as much as you can to find the product that fits you the best.

StriVectin-SD – Product Review

Posted on August 19, 2009 with No Comments

Botox injections are all the rage nowadays when it comes to temporarily removing wrinkles and leaving your face a lot less wrinkly and more “youthful-looking” than before, all the jokes about how downright creepy a deadened, frozen face looks aside. However, aside from this Botox injection trend, there’s also another way of achieving a more youthful, less wrinkly you—and it’s a lot less of an unnatural process to boot. We’re talking about the top-recommended Strivectin-SD, of course.

Now, the concept of the stretch mark cream is hardly as innovative or new as Botox, but there’s a good reason why Strivectin-SD is so popular anyway. In fact, it’s not that much of a “stretch” to say that this product is among the best-selling and most famous topical stretch marks products next to skin resurfacing. Hundreds of vendors have published lists that have the Strivectin-SD as a consistent, high-level performer.

Then again, lists are one thing, and trying out the cream for yourself is another thing entirely. Is it worth the hype it’s receiving? The ever-growing stretchmarks cream market is inundated with all sorts of creams, ointments, liniments, cleansers, and whatnot, so you have to take even the top ten lists of merchants with a grain of salt. The proof, after all, is in the pudding, and the actual conclusion lies within the Strivectin-SD’s stretch mark solution, scar reducing ability itself.

Moreover, the constant comparisons to this cream and resurfacing are partly induced by the company itself. The product’s slogan is actually, “Strivectin-SD: Better Than Botox”. It takes a lot of moxie to claim such a thing, but it inevitably leaves consumers suspicious and more than a little skeptical. For people who’ve tried out the Botox procedure and staunchly support it, they’d probably take personal offense at the gall of alleging that a comparatively cheap anti-aging cream applied daily is more effective and impressive than a $500 or so cosmetic treatment.

As a note, this particular product from StriVectin was orginally designed as a treatment for reducing and diminishing stretch marks. Interestingly, women noticed that it tightened the skin where it was applied and wrinkles disappeared. So, as chance would have it, women began using it as a “wrinkle cream”. As a follow-on, StriVectin introduced a new product (Eye Cream) with a few less-harsh ingredients specifically for wrinkles. Thus our review may seem a bit confusing. Effectively we’re evaluating its (their) success at both – wrinkles and stretch marks.

Checking out Strivectin-SD reveals first and foremost that, no, it’s not superior to Botox or isn’t even the next best thing to Botox. To be true, it’s just about as effective as any other anti-wrinkle cream currently available in the market.

On the other hand, it’s quite potent and it’s undoubtedly among the better anti-aging topical agents available right now. It’s particularly effective against fine lines and early onset wrinkles. Using this as daily maintenance on your face will at the very least help you age gracefully, if not look ten years younger in the long run.

The verdict? The product is worth recommending, but it is definitely overrated and very expensive compared to other products that contain essentially the same ingredients and provide similar results – both as a stretch mark cream or wrinkle cream. It gets 7.88 out of 10 stars, with points mostly taken from its expense and the fact there are very worthy competitors – on both fronts.
