20 Minute Facelift Reveiw

 Updated On:

Overview

The 20-Minute Facelift is advertised as a Botox alternative that will diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, make skin look more radiant, and firm facial muscles. The 20-Minute Facelift is the product of Momentum Direct, a company that has specialized in diet supplements and skin care since 1995. However, the company website no longer appears to be fully functional at the time of this review, which makes us wonder if they are continuing to stand behind the products that they manufacture. We did find the 20-Minute Facelift website, which still offers this product for sale.

The 20-Minute Facelift website provides many customer testimonials and invites customers to try it for free for thirty days. We also found websites with complaints from consumers who said this product did not work as promised and could not get refunds on their purchases. This leads us to wonder if this risk free trial is really as free from risk as the company promises. We were pleased to find the website also offers a full ingredient list for the product, allowing consumers to decide for themselves whether this formula will be effective and safe.

Product Details

The 20-Minute Facelift includes the following ingredients: Aloe Vera gel, jojoba oil, hydrolyzed elastin, soluble collagen, sodium PCA, green tea extract, panthenol (vitamin B-5), soy bean oil, avocado oil, butylene glycol, matricaria recutita extract, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and glycereth-26. In addition to providing this list, the website also goes into detail about what each of these ingredients will do for your skin.

The only proven anti-aging ingredient that we see in this mix is soluble collagen. Collagen is a substance that is lost as we age, leaving sagging skin and wrinkles. Adding collagen to mature skin can successfully plump the complexion and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, soluble collagen is much more effective when it is combined with patented anti-aging ingredients like matrixyl and argireline. This formula does not seem to include either of these ingredients.

The Good

  • The 20-Minute Facelift website provides customer testimonials and a money back guarantee.
  • Soluble collagen is included in the formula.

The Bad

  • The company that makes this product no longer seems to have an official online presence.
  • Complaints about the product and the company can be found online.
  • There are few patented anti-wrinkle ingredients found in the formula.

The Bottom Line

The 20-Minute Facelift has been touted as the Botox alternative. However, there are numerous anti-aging products on the market that make a similar claim. Some of those products have ingredients like matrixyl and argireline, which have been proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We would encourage consumers to look for products like these to get the greatest benefit from their skin care dollar.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
