4VOO Review

On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today.

Overview

This line of skin care was specifically designed with men in mind. The Canadian company that introduced the products is committed to providing men's skin care options that will enhance both a man's appearance and his confidence. There are many products to choose from in this 4VOO line, including a couple of items that are supposed to have anti-aging benefits. These include the Maximum Renewal Moisturizer and the Rejuvenating Eye Gel.

The Rejuvenating Eye Gel claims to reduce fine wrinkles and puffiness as it improves the elasticity and firmness of this delicate skin area. There are also ingredients to reduce and prevent dark circles from forming under the eyes. The moisturizer boasts the ability to reduce the visible signs of aging while it assists in the renewal process of the skin. Botanicals are included to keep the skin looking and feeling fresh and radiant while the active anti-aging ingredients do their work. You can find a complete list of ingredients for each of these products at the 4VOO website.

Product Details

Both the 4VOO Rejuvenating Eye Gel and the Maximum Renewal Moisturizer contain the revolutionary ingredient, palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. This substance is a type of manmade protein that can stimulate collagen production to reverse the aging process. This is a significant part of an effective anti-aging product since we lose collagen as we age. By replacing this substance within our skin, we can reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles and give the skin a smoother appearance.

According to the 4VOO website, scientific studies show that these products can indeed increase the amount of collagen in our skin. Some say that using palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 is as effective as using retinol but without the potential for skin irritation. Clinical studies have indicated that this substance can effectively reduce wrinkles when correctly included in a product’s formula.

The Good

  • Scientific studies have been done to prove the effectiveness of these ingredients.
  • The 4VOO products have a whole host of testimonials and recommendations from celebrities and major publications like Elle.
  • The main ingredient, palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, has been shown to be effective in minimizing wrinkles.

The Bad

  • The price is a bit high, with the moisturizer and eye gel each running close to $70 for a small container.
  • The return policy for the products is somewhat limited.
  • Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 would work more effectively in conjunction with other anti-aging substances that are not found in these products.
  • There does not appear to be a free trial of 4VOO for first-time uses.

The Bottom Line

For men who are looking for a skin care line designed just for their needs, 4VOO might be the way to go. This is especially true considering the lack of anti-wrinkle products formulated specifically for men. Palmitoyl pentapeptide is an effective anti-aging ingredient, although we feel the products might do better if they were pumped up a bit more. However, for the price and the results you can expect, 4VOO could be a good option.

Our top pick for 2008:  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.
