Anti Wrinkle 55® - Wrinkle Serum Product Review

Posted on February 18, 2010 with No Comments

There’s nothing more frustrating than a lotion or cream that doesn’t work.  Why?  Because you never really find out how good a given topical ointment, liniment, or whatever else is until it’s too late. The fastest a cream can get in giving you results is two weeks to a month, and that’s being optimistic. 

But AntiWrinkle 55® is different - its fast.  Not and “instant facelift”, but continued use will show smoothing and less wrinkles within hours and sustained smoothing within days.

Anti Wrinkle 55 Wrinkle Serum

Whether it’s an anti-aging cream to get rid of wrinkles, a skin whitening cream to whiten skin, or a skin moisturizer to replenish lost skin moisture, you never know what you’re going to get even up until you’ve finished your bottle of skincare product.  That’s what product reviews are for, in a sense; you need these to tell whether you should even bother trying out a cream for months-on-end or not.

As such, it sort of begs the question: Is Anti Wrinkle 55® worth your money and your time? There are a lot of anti-aging products presently out in the market; perhaps too many, even.

The more disenchanted consumers would probably daresay that you’ve used one anti-aging cream, tablet, and whatnot, you’ve used them all.  Barring Botox®, is getting yet another anti-wrinkle product (that’s actually named “Anti Wrinkle” from the get go) really necessary?

Nourish’s Anti Wrinkle 55® seems to be aware of this dilemma, which is why they made their product the most potent and high-level anti-wrinkle cream (serum) possible when it comes to taking away fine and deep lines as well as preventing their onset for years to come.

Argireline & Hyaluronic for Wrinkle-Free Skin

Granted, the previous sentence is a marketing byline that’s been used thousands of times before by different cosmetic companies, but the thing that makes this brand stand out is its two active ingredients: argireline and hyaluronic acid.

To be more precise, these two main components of Anti Wrinkle 55® are the ones that make the product so potent in the first place.  After it has sloughed off the deadened and aging layers of your skin, it will then promote the growth and healthiness of the newer skin underneath via facial muscle relaxation, skin rehydration, and collagen application reminiscent of the Botox procedure.

Yes, Anti Wrinkle 55® isn’t a better anti-wrinkle cream all-in-all, but it’s a serum that simply works, and that’s what customers are looking for.  And, as important for most consumers - the “price is right”. 

Best for the Money

Having evaluated possibly hundreds of serums, anti-aging creams, and wrinkle solutions, Anti-Wrinkle 55 is probably one of the best values for the money.  With a price in the low to mid $30’s and its “top-shelf” ingredients, the effectiveness per dollar is phenominal and its price is half to a third of many competing solutions.

In conclusion, because Nourish’s Anti Wrinkle 55® isn’t any better or worse than most other hyaluronic-acid-and-argireline-based anti-aging products (or, for that matter, any anti-aging products in general) currently available, it gets an above average grade of 9.00 out 10 stars.  It’s unremarkable, but useful - but, its price makes it amazing!

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.

StriVectin-SD Stretch Mark Cream

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.

Dermory ST Breast Enhancement Cream

Posted on May 21, 2009 with 2 Comments

Coincidentally, we had on our agenda to do a review of Dermory ST - a breast enhancement cream that was introduced last year…and, well, one of our staff was watching The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on FOX and saw the product feateured earlier in the week.

It was discussed along with other enhancement and enlargement products - inserts and a breats pump developed to stretch the skin.  It was featured as an investigation segment showing women optins for enlargement and augmentation without resorting to implants or cosmetic or plastic surgery.  Dermory ST - as reviewed on the program - was formulated to firm sagging and drooping breasts resulting from childbirth, nursing, weight loss or from natural aging.

If you’re unfamiliar with Dermory ST, it is the first (I believe) to use Bio-Bustyl, a polypeptide developed by Croda specifically for enhancing the bust.  Their clinical studies show a substantial improvement in firmness, cell respiration and reduction in skin fatigue.  Bio-Bustyl is also shown to improve collagen synthesis and development and sparks natural hormonal activity to assist “plumping” and firming breast tissue - getting a “perky” and enlargement benefit.

Additionally, it uses several ingredients common to anti-aging skin care - Matrixyl, Hyaluronic Acid and Ale Vera.  One of the more unique charateristics besides Bio-Bustyl is Dermory uses Emu Oil as a “carrier oil”.

While many may be indifferent to using carrier oils, a barrier to effectiveness of natural breast enhancement creams has been their ability to 1) provide adequate efficacy and 2) penetrate the dermal structure deep-enough to do any good.  Emu Oil is transdermal and a natural moisturizer…in affect, carries the active ingredients into the subcutaneous layers increasing firmness.

To summarize feedback from customers and staff, Dermory ST is the only breast enhancement cream using Bio Bustyl, Emu Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl and Aloe.  Results are often seen in 7-10 days, but some of the ingredients - Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe - show benefits almost immediately.  It firms and tighten the breast skin removing and smoothing wrinkles, dryness or roughness and is designed to reduce sagging (point down?!) caused and often experienced after pregnancy or losing weight.  It’s ingredients work well for chest wrinkles also.

Instant Under Eye Firming Serum

Posted on May 12, 2009 with No Comments

Dark circles, sagging skin and wrinkles are the bane of most women and almost every woman will attest to the fact that the area under the eyes are often the most difficult to treat.  The skin under the eye is delicate and wrinkles can start at an early age. The harsh rays of the sun (UVA and UVB damage), free radical damage form oxidization, and thinness of tissue are primary causes of under eye wrinkles.

Huge strides have been made in recent years and there are now several treatments (and viable ingredients) available that will help reduce the bags and sagging.  You can now find instant eye firming creams are extremely effective and can help you look years younger.

How Do Instant Eye Firming Creams Work?

Instant eye firming creams contain a combination of special anti-aging and moisturizing agents that work together to tighten the skin under the eyes.   Hyaluronic acid is one such ingredient that works to improve skin elasticity and hydration.  Low levels of hydration very often the cause excessive wrinkling and dryness.

Other important ingredients include Argireline and Pullalan, both of which help to tighten and firm tissue, including crows feet.  Essential oils and herbal extracts are also needs to help provide faster cell rejuvenation and a smoothing affect. Combined, these ingredients (in varying strength formulations) can provide instant firming and wrinkle control lasting up to 6 hours, while providing longer-term benefits of moisture retention, antioxidant protection, and improved collagen and elasticity.

Glycerin from vegetables is also important as it helps to repair the cell membranes.  This will help to improve the overall appearance of the skin under the eyes and reduce the wrinkles and fine lines.  

Efficacy of Argireline® in Wrinkle Creams

Posted on April 20, 2009 with No Comments

In the past several years Argireline® has become a key ingredient in wrinkle creams - providing non-surgical & treatment alternatives to products such as Botulinum Toxin A (BOTOX) or similar agents and peptides.

Manufactured by CenterChem, Inc, Argireline® has been shown effective at reducing wrinkle depth up to 17%  within 15 days using a maximum 10% dosage.  It attenuates muscle contraction, relaxing the muscle and smoothing expression lines, while helping prevent formation of lines and wrinkles.

The Argireline® information PDF further explains its use in 3-10% dosages for skin products targeting removal of wrinkles around the eyes and forehead caused by natural aging and repeated facial movements and expression.  It offers superior efficacy as an anti-wrinkle compound.

The inhibition of glutamate release at mM concentrations is a clear indicator of the potent anti-expression wrinkle activity of this hexapeptide.  CenterChem

Argireline can be found in anti-wrinkle creams and serums in product lines such as Principal Secret, Anti Wrinkle 55, and in Freeze 24/7.
