ABI Dermaceuticals Review

 Updated On:

Overview

ABI Firming Peptide Cream with Matrixyl 3000 appears to be produced and manufactured by the company known as ABI Dermaceuticals. Claims have been made that this product is an effective anti-wrinkle agent when used regularly. In this review we will use our available resources to try and determine whether or not this statement is true.

Product Details

ABI Dermaceuticals are said to contain a high concentrate of Matrixyl 3000 that has proven to be an effective patented ingredient that is well known within the skincare industry. This list of key ingredients was listed on a website: Matrixyl 3000, Hyaluronic Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Soluble Collagen, Amino Acid and Retinol.

We will take a look at the key ingredients in ABI Dermaceuticals. Matrixyl 3000® is a patented ingredient that is said to be able to enhance several types of Collagen production, antioxidants, vitamins, and moisturizers that instantly goes to work smoothing out wrinkles and heavily moisturizing the skin. Next on the list is Hyaluronic Acid. This is found in many skincare products today. This may be considered to be a highly effective product if it were not for the fact that it can cause skin rashes on people with sensitive skin because it is sometimes used to actually remove the top layer of your skin and exposing the new skin, which for some people, maybe ones that are fair skinned, may not produce the preferred results. While Alpha Lipoic Acid is considered to be a very powerful and unique antioxidant along with having a variety of medicinal uses, it also comes with a long list of side effects such as: headache, tingling, skin rash, muscle cramps, thought to alter thyroid levels, and can have possible drug interactions with blood sugar medications.

Soluble Collagen is a Collagen that is found in calf skin that is thought to be one of the only Collagen types that can be directly absorbed into the skin. We think the purpose behind this ingredient may be to attempt the Collagen that is lost during the aging process. Amino Acid is the next ingredient that is up for examination. Claims have been made that Amino Acids are essential for healthy skin care. Some people believe that they create a barrier between the skin and a variety of things that are considered to be harmful to your skin. Last, but not least, is Retinol. It is usually found in acne medications. This too is known to have side effects such as dry patches on the skin, and enhanced sensitivity to the sun. It is said that when using a product that contains this ingredient, it is best to use sun block to protect from sunburn.

The Good

  • ABI Dermaceuticals contain the patented ingredient Matrixyl 3000.
  • Complete list of ingredients were found online

The Bad

  • 3 of the key ingredients are known as possible skin irritants
  • No free gift with purchase.
  • Not clear what the ABI Dermaceutcail return policy is.

The Bottom Line

While the presence of Matrixyl 3000 in ABI Dermaceuticals may be appreciated, there are 3 ingredients that may raise concern for people that are prone to sensitive skin. If it were only 1 ingredient, then it may have been possible to overlook due to the presence of Matrixyl 3000. However, it is believed that most people will think that 3 possible irritants are totally unacceptable.
