Product's Claims: A uniquely empowering treatment to be used intermittently along with your regular skincare regimen. Start using it today and never look your age again.
Paula's Review: “Outrageous” is the first word (fit for print) that came to mind when we compared the shockingly high price of this serum with its ingredient list. For your money, you’re getting mostly water, alcohol, and slip agents, some of the least expensive ingredients around, not to mention how damaging and pro-aging alcohol can be. Despite the high price, fancy vial packaging, and “energy booster” claims, when they state you’ll never look your age again, they might just be referring to looking older rather than younger, because this is really a powerful product in the wrong direction.
Pros:
• Contains some intriguing skin-repairing ingredients and antioxidants.
Cons:
• Alcohol is the second ingredient, which is as far from anti-aging as you can get.
• Some of the main plant extracts (including horsetail and papaya) can be irritating, and irritation causes collagen to break down.
• Contains several fragrance ingredients known to cause irritation.
• Outrageously overpriced for what ends up being a truly poor formulation!
More info:
These vials of “treatment” serum are supposed to supplement your regular skin-care routine as needed, with the promise that you’ll never look your age again. Although that sounds great, the formula contains enough alcohol to be potentially pro-aging, so if anything, you may actually look older from using this serum! That’s because alcohol is an irritant that causes dryness and free-radical damage, and hurts your skin’s ability to heal and produce healthy collagen. All of that is the opposite of what you want if your goal is to look younger. Besides, for what this costs, your money would be better spent on cosmetic corrective procedures proven to firm skin and leave you looking younger.
