Prevage Body Total Transforming Anti Aging Moisturizer
This lotion, sold by Elizabeth Arden in department stores, claims to reduce signs of aging, but is not just a face cream. It is designed to be used as an all-over moisturizer, which reduces wrinkles on the face, but reduces age spots and sagging skin in general. Claiming to use a Tripeptide Complex , it reduces the appearance of sun damage, relieves try skin, increase firmness and elasticity, and improves the texture of the skin, adding smoothness. We know that peptides stimulate collagen production, but we are interested in seeing what other ingredients are found in this product and if there are enough peptides to be effective.
Ingredients
This product contains many emollients and moisturizing ingredients, but only one peptide. It also contains butylparaben, ethylparaben, isobutylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben.
Pros
This product will probably be an effective moisturizer, since it contains many proven ingredients. It also contains a peptide and guanidine HCl, which makes the peptide more soluble – more easily absorbed into the skin.
Cons
This product contains five parabens, which are ingredients found in cheap cosmetics. They are known to cause irritation to the skin and have even been found to cause more serious problems, such as cancer. Though these allegations are largely unproven, parabens are ineffective at best, meaning that you are paying $135 for a product that contains chiefly useless ingredients.
Conclusion
If you are looking for an effective moisturizer, you might find that Prevage Body Total Transforming Anti Aging Moisturizer is effective. However, we would not recommend this product. You can find an equally effective moisturizer for a fraction of the cost. The only reason this cream would be first the price would be if it reduced wrinkles and age lines, but we see no evidence that this will function as an anti-aging treatment. You can find a peptide serum that will be more concentrated and truly effective.
Rainyday, it's interesting to read conmmets like that of timothy. Basically if you follow his comment he speaks for everybody on planet earth. How ridiculous is that!. Look, I can only speak for myself, and tell you what has worked for me, and you decide if you want to follow up or not. Either way it's your dececsion. I'm 25 and have been using Extreme Eye Rescue, and Preve both by Isabella Pelle for over 4 yrs now. I made a dececsion around 18 yrs old to take care of my skin. You don't want to wait until you have massive wrinkles, by then it's too late the damage is done. Note using a mild ****** cleanser like Olay foaming will greating helps, and drinking min. of 3 glasses of water.
