ANTI-AGING CREAMS

Everyone grows older. As we age, our bodies go through many transformations. One of the most noticeable changes is the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Many people have tried Botox injections to temporarily obscure their aging process. While these can be effective, Botox treatments also carry a variety of negative issues including:

•  Expensive, painful injections

•  Side effects ranging from flu-like symptoms to allergic reactions

•  Cannot be used around the mouth, corners of the eyes, or neck

Instead, anti-aging creams can deliver the same results for less cost and inconvenience. When looking at different anti-aging creams, there are certain factors you need to consider. Some of these include:

•  Effectiveness.  How effective is the product on your skin type?

•  Convenience.  Some companies offer a free trial of their product to make sure it works for you. Still others offer an auto-ship program, at discounted prices, so you don't have to make a new purchase each month.

•  Cost.  Costs for a 1-month supply can range from $50 to $200+. Make sure you find a solution that you can afford.

Finally, it's important not to be discouraged when trying anti-aging creams. Anti-aging creams will react differently to different skin types. If you find that one doesn't work, you should not be discouraged from trying another. With the variety of products available, you will find one that works.

StriVectin SD is an anti-aging cream originally created to reduce stretch marks. Almost by accident, it was discovered that it is also highly effective at reducing facial wrinkles.

During clinical testing the StriVectin SD bottles were simply marked "topical cream". As testing continued the message got muddled, and certain testers began applying it to their face. Before long, they were reporting fantastic results - and Klein-Becker figured out they had more than what they bargained for!

Clinical studies have shown that StriVectin SD can reduce facial fine lines by up to 68% (!). It also increases firmness, improves the appearance of age-spots and dark under-eye circles, as well as reduces the actual length, depth, and volume of wrinkles. These results have been corroborated in the real world, as sales of StriVectin SD have experienced rapid growth.

This lotion comes in a 6 oz tube for $135.00. It is applied twice a day, every day, on wrinkles (3 times a day for stretch marks). It's best to use StriVectin sparingly as it is a concentrated formula. Most users reported seeing positive results after 4-5 weeks of consistent treatment.

We love the Skinstore website. For a moment, new users might be overwhelmed, but the site is so organized and user-friendly that you will navigate through it with ease. Plus, they offer a very generous 60-day cash back guarantee. A detailed list of ingredients for StriVectin SD is also provided.

StriVectin SD anti-aging cream has great clinical results and many happy customers. Although it is one of the most expensive solutions in our review, it can deliver fantastic results. Patience is the key as it may take a few weeks to notice the difference, but the 60-day money back guarantee gives you some security while deciding if this is the right product for you.

Avotone's anti-aging cream has a patent pending blend of Argireline and avocado oil to produce a very effective product. Most testers could see a difference after using Avotone for just two weeks. The 1 oz jar sells for $89.95, a reasonable price when comparing it to some creams that sell for over $300.00 for the same size.

Avotone contains two main active ingredients; Argireline (also found in Revitol), and Avocado oil. Argireline is a non-irritating peptide that decreases the production of excess neurotransmitters, which reduces the intensity of muscle contractions. This causes a reduction in the number of wrinkles formed. Avocado oil is one of the most highly penetrating oils used for skin care, and has very high moisturizing properties. Together, these ingredients act to reduce existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.

Avotone cream should be used once in the morning and once at night for the first 30 days, and then just once a day after that. No more than a pea-sized amount should be placed in such trouble areas as frown lines, crow's feet, neck, upper lip, and smile lines. This is a highly potent cream, and should not be used as a facial moisturizer, as it will cause drying. If dryness does occur, you can continue to use a moisturizer.

There are a few purchase options you can choose from when buying Avotone. First, if you just want to try it, you can order a single jar from the website for $89.95. Second, you can buy 3 jars for $159.95, which works out to $53 per jar. Shipping is free with this option. Or third, you can enroll in their auto-ship program for $49.95 per jar. This will automatically deliver a 1 oz jar of the cream to you each month. Shipping is free with this option, but refunds are not accepted.

The website is simple and easy to use. Besides the Avotone anti-aging cream, there are other products that a customer can purchase, such as an eye cream and an instant tightening cream. There is also a section on the benefits of avocado oil and a complete list of all ingredients. The Avotone anti-aging cream has amazing feedback from customers who have already tried a variety of wrinkle-reducing products.

The company offers a generous 60-day money back guarantee if not 100% satisfied. This is one of the longer guarantees of anti-aging products, and is evidence that the company stands behind their offering.

Renuven is an anti-aging cream that sells for $54.95 for a 1.25oz jar, which is a 60-day supply. The main ingredient to Renuven is Hyaluronic acid, which removes debris from skin cells and stimulates the regrowth of collagen.

The "trick" to Renuven, however, is not in its ability to remove wrinkles. Instead, it uses a silicon dioxide when the cream is put together to create billions of mircroscopic nanoprisms, which effective remove the shadow made by the wrinkle. This is kind of like putting tiny little mirrors in the wrinkle to make it look like it's just more skin. The effect lasts until the next time you wash your face.

In addition to purchasing a single jar for $54.95, you can enroll in the auto-ship program where every 45 days you receive a jar of Renuven for $44.95. The company also offers a generous 90-day money back guarantee. If after the end of 90 days, you are not 100% satisfied, the company will reimburse the cost of Renuven, minus shipping and handling.

Unfortunately, the website is so ridiculously dated, that many potential customers may be turned off before they start to read about the product.

Renuven brings a unique approach to anti-aging solutions. With an updated website and independent tests to validate their claims, they could prove more effective than many higher-priced alternatives.

The Hydra Lift Firming Serum and Soft as Silk Firming Gel are sold as a set by Suzanne Somers for $29.95. Both products boast natural ingredients and are free from animal testing. The Hydra Lift Serum includes chardonnay and green tea extracts (both wonderful antioxidants). It is packaged as a 28-day single dose system. The customer squeezes the applicator tip to release the product and apply to the face. Next, the Soft As Silk Firming Gel (.38oz) is applied. This product acts as a seal for the Hydra Lift and helps prepare the face for easy application of moisture or make-up. Both products are applied once a day. The company states lasting results will be seen by 28 days, with visual improvement of fine lines in just one application.

The Suzanne Somers Company claims to offer a 100% money back guarantee of these products. To receive a refund, the customer must return any unused product within 21 days.

The web site was very difficult to use. You actually need to look elsewhere to find basic information on the products such as size of the serum and recommended application use. Information like this should be readily available on the website.

We found the application of the Hydra Life Serum difficult to use. Unfortunately, even when used as directed, results are less than the product claims. Fine lines and wrinkles show little or no improvement. In our research we found many customers that concur with our findings.

In the end, this product may be for die-hard Suzanne Somers fans only.
