Brenda Williams' Anti-Wrinkle Cream Reviews

Dermajuv Rejuvenation System Overview

The Dermajuv Complete Rejuvenation System® is a method of combining the use of three uniquely effective formulas on a daily basis for a 30-45 day period. It is a combination of three anti-aging formulas that attack all the signs of aging. It consists of one jar of Original Soothing Cream, one jar of Dynamic Age Defying Serum, and one jar of Instant Lifting Serum. It targets deep wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, discolorations, redness, and even large pores. Each individual formula is available for purchase separately. However, Dermajuv recommends using them together as instructed to create more powerful results.

Product Details

One of the main lifting ingredients used in Dermajuv is Sesaflash. It is said to have an almost instant effect lifting wrinkles out of sight within five minutes. In my experience that may be an exaggeration. Sesaflash is supposed to tighten the skin while moisturizing, and hides wrinkles from the naked eye. Sesaflash has been refined on a molecular basis. Other less refined ingredients used in other products may cause discomfort and dryness. The ingredient Matrixyl works at the DNA level to stimulate the production of collagen and fibronectin. The production of collagen decreases with age and this leads to thinning skin and wrinkles. Matrixyl helps counteract the natural aging process. Renovage works with the skin cells to replenish up to 60% of the functions that the skin performs. Clinical tests showed that Renovage helped the skins ability to fight off signs of aging on a continued basis. Renovage focuses on preventing wrinkles on a long-term scale.

Usage

The Dermajuv Complete Rejuvenation System should be applied twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.

Pros:

1. It claims to work at the DNA level to stimulate cell growth and heal the skin.
2. There is some clinical data to prove its effectiveness.

Cons:

1. Dermajuv requires three different creams to attempt to create the same result as some products such as Organic Youth.
2. The ingredients of all three serums include Glycols, which are routinely contaminated with carcinogens
3. The Instant Effect Lifting Serum contains Acrylates Copolymer, which may be linked to breast cancer.

Recommendation

The Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, Dynamic Age Defying Serum, and the Instant Effect Lifting Serum all include glycols. Glycols are a family of toxic synthetic chemical. They sometimes are known to provoke skin irritation even in low concentrations. One of the ingredients found in the serums is PEG-100 strearate, which was found by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review to be unsafe for use on injured or damaged skin. The Glycol compounds are routinely contaminated with carcinogens. The Instant Effect Lifting Serum contains Acrylate Copolymers that may contain a widespread organic pollutant, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a chemical compound that has evidence of a link to breast cancer. Using products such as Organic Youth Anti-Wrinkle Cream that have natural certified organic ingredients are much safer to use on the skin.
