Perfectionist Correcting Concentrate for Deeper Facial Lines/Wrinkles is packaged in a pen-style applicator with an angled tip that supposedly allows you to zero in on your most troublesome expression lines and wrinkles. You’re likely wondering if what gets dispensed can really relax lines and reduce the look of wrinkles. Forget about the relaxing part, because nothing in this product is capable of that feat. Lauder uses acetyl hexapeptide-3, also known as argireline, for this alleged effect, but it has never been proven to work as claimed. Even Botox doesn’t relax wrinkles when applied topically, as opposed to being injected.
This water- and silicone-based formula will help temporarily to smooth and fill in lines and wrinkles, making them look less apparent. It’s a cosmetic effect, similar to what you get with lots of moisturizers. What’s most exciting about this product is that it is jam-packed with ingredients that are beneficial to skin, including several antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, anti-irritants, and a plethora of ingredients that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin. So how come this Perfectionist product was not rated a Paula’s Pick? In a word, alcohol. Although not present in an amount significant enough to cause irritation, it’s listed before the many state-of-the-art ingredients, an unwelcome blemish on an otherwise spotless formulation. Perfectionist Correcting Concentrate is best for normal to dry skin, and is fragrance-free. |
