3000 BC Skincare Review

 Updated On:

Overview

3000 BC Skincare is a company that devotes itself to the ancient Egyptian methods of skin care, such as the use of essential oils, rosewood extract, sandalwood extract and similar ingredients. 3000 BC opts to use all-natural ingredients as much as possible, rather than rely on chemically-produced dyes and treatments. The company has branched into a line of branded treatment spas, where people can make appointments for skin therapy in advance. The treatment centers are well-kept, serene, and very professionally staffed. Their headquarters and two spas listed on the official website are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Wayne, Pennsylvania.

Product Details

3000 BC Skin Care uses all natural ingredients in their products. Some of the ingredients they use to give your skin the smoothest sensation are: sea algae extract, oat beta, glucan, squalane, nettle extract, borage oil, superoxide dismutase, shea butter, vitamins A and C, palmarosa, lavender, candeia, Indian sarsaparilla, Roman chamomile, neroli, geranium, rosewood, and sandalwood. All of these ingredients work together to promote the skin's production of protocollagen, the substance required for skin to form new tissue and retain its youthful appearance. This is what keeps wrinkles from forming until we get older. There are a few artificial ingredients added in some products, but not very many.

The Good

  • 3000 BC Skin Care salons make use of almost exclusively all-natural ingredients, making sure that your skin gets the most soothing care it can without intruding artificial chemicals.
  • They have a very professional, organized atmosphere in their spas, which makes the skin more relaxed and easy to treat.
  • Therapists are said to be extremely capable and pleasant in demeanor.

The Bad

  • The hours of service are a bit awkward for some people – the spas are only open late on Wednesday nights, which makes it likely that weekend appointments have to be scheduled.
  • Sometimes, the spas are located somewhat out of the way, and because there are only 3000 BC Skin Care spas in two locations, many people have to drive long distances.
  • Appointments must be scheduled three weeks in advance. No walk-ins are accepted.
  • The waxing ingredients take time to warm up and use, which can cause problems for people who schedule appointments at 3000 BC Skin Care spas early in the morning.
  • Some users reported that bikini waxes were a bit uneven, as were manicures.

The Bottom Line

Overall, 3000 BC Skin Care seems to be an excellent skin care company to help with relaxation and skin cleansing products and services. There were some complaints from users about some services that were a little awkward, but these were likely one-off occurrences. However, on the whole, the atmosphere offered at the treatment spas by 3000 BC Skin Care works wonders with the natural ingredients from fruits, oils and wood extracts. This company is highly recommended by clients, even though they are only available in two locations in Pennsylvania. This makes it hard to reach for people in neighboring states. If you can afford it, spa treatments like this paired with a cutting edge, at-home wrinkle treatment should have your skin looking perfect.

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.
