The Youthology line of products claims to be able to reduce all the signs of aging that you dread. The crows feet by your eyes, wrinkles on your face, age spots, blemishes all things you don’t want to have to deal with. So it seems like a compelling offer, to cure all your aging woes with one line of products. But it also makes you a little skeptical, or at least it did for me. But we will look into that further below, the product line consists of 90 Second Lip Line Smoother, Daytime Nourishing Mask, Nighttime Nourishing Mask, Rich Collagen Repair Mask and the Radiance Mask.
Now, right off the bat there’s a few warning signs here. 90 second wrinkle removal? Sounds way too good to be true, and it really is. So if you are thinking of purchasing this product with that claim in mind, I suggest you set more realistic expectations because that is hype and nothing more. The other products however are more realistic and do offer some noticeable benefit. The Company behind these products, the Youthology Research Institute has a B rating via the BBB, which means it is safe to do business with them overall and they don’t have any serious complaints against them. Just do your due diligence when buying anything, and be watchful for hidden recurring payments as you normally would and you will be fine.
So how does it work?
The primary ingredient in most of these products is Collagen, which if your familiar with these kinds of products your familiar with what Collagen does. It essentially plumps out your skin, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is effective, and is used in pretty much all current anti-aging products.
The products themselves though are based around a 5 step program, and the various steps must be done at different points in the day which can be fairly inconvenient. So if you know you cant or do not want to keep track of five different products you may want to skip over this product or just try one or two which really meet what you need. The price however isnt too bad, currently they are listed a 30$ for the group of products, with a new 90 day supply sent out every three months. Please note you will need to cancel this as people seem to have a problem with continuing to receive the product (and getting charged) because they didn’t cancel. The first 30 days are also covered under a risk free guarantee, which will refund the purchase price if you do not like te product (but not your shipping cost)
User Experiences
The Youthology product line has a lot of detractors stating that it does not work as advertised. Whether this is a result of the product failing to perform, or the user having unrealistic expectations based on the hype. (The previously mentioned bogus 90 second promise) There are enough testimonials and pictures on the internet which show that these products can work, and in the end it comes down to individual skin types and expectations. Your average user would be best served trying it and seeing before really committing any serious money.
Advantages
- Easy Online availability
- Lots of Testimonials and pictures supporting the products
- 90 day supply
- Good moisturizer
Disadvantages
- Short return period of 30 days
- lack of full ingredient list
Final conclusion
In conclusion, the Youthology product line seems to be very hit or miss. So the best thing to do if you believe in this product, is to give the product line a try and see if you like it during that thirty day period. But the same could be said of any skin care product, everyone is different and will get different benefits from any given product. Just dont be taken in by the 90 second hype when making your decision, because it is flat out not true.

And while there seems to be a minimal at best presence of things like consumer complaints against them, there is also very little information concerning the actual company currently available.

StriVectin-SD Stretch Price

User Experiences
Based on online reviews, as well as our own research into the product we can confirm that the product works as claimed for most people. For those with normal or dry skin you will experience fairly significant benefit, especially to your overall skin condition. For those with a more oily skin type however it has caused breakouts in a few cases. So if this applies to you, you will want to avoid using it around your eyes for the first couple treatments until you can see how your skin reacts. For the most part though, customers were very satisfied with the improvement they saw in their skin and overall appearance during use of this product.
Advantages:
- Excellent feedback from a blind study
- 30 day money back guarantee
- Proven ingredients
- Good reviews
Disadvantages:
- No free trial available
- Contains Parabens, which can cause dermatitis in some users
Overall conclusion
Overall, with a price tag of 135.00 StriVectin can be a little too expensive for some. And while there is a good amount of positive customer reviews available, some real testimonials or customer before and after pictures might help build a better case for the money. But at least there is a 30 day money back guarantee just in case.

Lift SP probably has one of the more unbelievable claims out there. Claiming to make you look 20 years younger in seconds. Now, crazy hype is no surprise with this kind of product. Any sales page for any product you look at out there probably claims it can cure all your ills faster then any of its competitors. However, what IS important is whether or not Lift SP lives up to, or even comes close to that claim. First we will look at the company behind Lift SP, then we will cast aside the sales pitch and see if this product really works.
Lift SP is made by a company called SP Beauty seems to be fairly new to the scene. As they lack even a basic BBB report, or accreditation. Due however, to that and a host of other missing information as well as two standing complaints it carries a F rating on the BBB’s scale of business’s. This may however, be due to the company’s age more then anything so only time will tell further.
How does it Work?
Lift SP is a topical anti aging serum, much like many others out on the market currently. It claims to work to remove wrinkles, firm facial skin and hydrate your skin to restore your face to a more youthful condition. All within moments of application, which sounds great. However, there is a catch. The treatment itself only maintain any real effect for 8 hours, which makes it a quick fix at best for most people.
To do this, Lift SP makes use of six multi-Peptides which are as follows; Argireline (Hexapeptide-3), Leuphasyl (helps with reducing wrinkles), Octapeptide (minimizes wrinkle depth), Matrixyl 3000 (aid with collagen production), Tripeptide (smoothes out fine lines), and Sea Weed Extract (helps tighten the skin) these peptides work to destabalize skin cells so that it cannot release neurotransmitters which make your facial muscles contract, this helps prevent lines and wrinkles. For best results the serum should be applied as soon after cleansing as possible.
Where to buy Lift SP and much is it?
Lift SP currently retails for 79.95 with a free trial available as well, which incurs a 9.95 shipping charge. The trial period however is only 12 days, and finding further information on it on their main site is difficult to the point of near impossibility. It has also been reported that using the free trial ends up auto entering the customer into the resupply program which is the source of many complaints due to billing. They offer a money back guarantee, but this too seems sketchy so your mileage may vary.
User Experiences
Unfortunately the overall user experience, based on our research and online user reviews is not promising. Not due to the product not working, for the most part people who tried it did have noticeable improvement. Where the problems begin is with their customer service practices. With many people getting charged after they thought they had canceled, and having difficulties getting through to the company to sort the issue out. In many cases the problem had to be taken to the card companies instead and the card needing to be canceled to stop the problems.
Advantages:
- Full ingredient list
- Actual product seems to be effective
- Created by a skin care specialist
- Free trial offer
- Designed as a safe alternative to more invasive products and procedures
Disadvantages:
- Lots of complaints about their billing
- Slightly more expensive overall then most
- Free trial problem, users being auto-billed after
Overall Rating
Overall, the actual product lift SP seems like a decent choice for dealing with wrinkles and other facial skin problems. However, we cannot fully recommend it to anyone until they start to clean up some of these complaints about their billing practices. If you do order this product, you probably will not be disappointed with the performance. Just be mindful of the potential pitfalls in their practices.

This wrinkle repair system by Neostrata helps remove sun-damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, just as all of the other systems say. The main ingredients are termed ‘Matrixyl’ and ‘Retinol’, both of which are routinely used in other anti-aging creams.
Matrixyl will promote a better, more young, appearance. It does that by allowing wounds to heal fast, which causes the lower levels of the skin to rejuvenate new cells. And, it also stimulates the matrix (thus the name) of the skin. This is where the skin produces collagen and a thing called fibronectin. This is where the elasticity of the skin increases, which has everything to do with how smooth your skin will look.
Both of these ingredients have been around for so long, they’ve been standardized. This is a great selling point, because you don’t have to wonder whether that product will work, or not. They boast that this cream will work on all skin types, however, which isn’t possible; everybody’s face is different. There’s no way that any product can work for everybody. When a face is eighty years old, it needs different things than a face which is twenty would need, for example.
Deep wrinkles are different than shallow ones. Fine lines are different than thick ones. What works with one kind of line won’t necessarily work with another. Certainly if you make the skin more elastic, that helps. If you make the collagen be healthy, that helps. If you add antioxidants to the skin, that keeps oxidative reaction from occurring so fast. But, it’s impossible to say that one cream will work on all faces.
If a product works on deep wrinkles, then it will be easier to boldly make such a statement, because it will be much better than it was before in a way that can be seen from a distance. This product does that, so it is easier to believe that it will help more people than other products might.
Pros:
- It has Matrixyl, which is both not toxic and safe to use.
- You can observe the effects in as little as two weeks.
- Time has shown that these two products are effective in keeping your skin wrinkle-free
- It’s been tested in labs, and has been determined to be safe and effective
Cons:
- It is most effective if you’re over forty years old.
- It doesn’t work for everybody.
- It’s expensive
Final Verdict:
If a product works on deep wrinkles, then it will be easier to boldly make such a statement, because it will be much better than it was before in a way that can be seen from a distance. This product does that, so it is easier to believe that it will help more people than other products might. Retinol can be irritating to the skin if you use too much of it.

AlphaDerma CE is said to fight wrinkles because it’s an antioxidant. This, they say, will reduce fine lines and eye wrinkles. Since it contains Alpha Lipoic Acid and other tightening agents that make the wrinkles look smoother.
Pros:
- It acts as a UV/A and UV/B Ultraviolet protection.
- It’s a very powerful antioxidant.
- It really moisturizes well.
- If you touch your face, it feels very smooth.
Cons:
- There is no money back guarantee.
- It’s a bit pricy, being around $130 for one bottle. Other systems have three-to-four bottles for the same price. This is way too expensive, particularly for the results that you experience.
Final Verdict:
It’s expensive, and if you do experience results it will take over three weeks before you see it. It only seems to work about 50% of the time. It doesn’t have a money back guarantee and costs $130 a bottle. It’s a very powerful antioxidant, but there are other antioxidants out there which would be just as powerful and not cost $130.
