| Review: |
| In the category of wrinkle-filling products, most are thicker, spackle-like products that rely on a sophisticated blend of silicones and silicone polymers to smooth and temporarily fill in superficial lines and wrinkles. They tend to work reasonably well, but are short-lived and certainly no substitute for cosmetic corrective procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers. This wrinkle-filling contribution from StriVectin doesn’t follow formulary suit and as such is no competition for the superior options from lines like Estee Lauder, Good Skin, and Cosmedicine. All you’re getting with this overpriced product is a blend of water, glycerin, thickening gum, and some plant extracts. The gum does a poor job of filling in wrinkles and lends a tacky finish anywhere it is placed. It’s nice that there are some antioxidants in this wrinkle filler, but the inclusion of comfrey extract (listed by its Latin name Symphytum officinale) is cause for concern due to its toxic constituents. Please refer to my Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary on the Home page of Beautypedia for more information about comfrey. Reading the detailed claims for this product may sway you, but buyer beware! |
