Overview
The Academie Scientifique de Beaute is a cosmetics company based in Paris. They specialize in producing and marketing many beauty products through their Scientific System line, which offers a wide range of products from moisturizing masks to cream to lotion. The company should have a good reputation, having been founded in 1926. They also claim on their website to have been the first company to have begun distinguishing the skin types. However, this is a high claim to make and there isn't much evidence to support it. That far back in time, the definitions in cosmetics tend to become muddy. There are no official ingredient lists for any Academie Scientifique de Beaute products, and because of this it's possible that other products or companies may offer better anti-ageing results. A more in-depth look is required.
Product Details
Academie Scientifique de Beaute has several products to combat ageing signs: makeup remover, line corrector, Borelax care, Firming Care for Face and Neck, Moisturizing Care, Smoothing Care for Eye and Lip, Stimulating and Moisturizing Mask, Toner Lotion, Total Hand Cream, Total Restructuring Face Cream and Total Ultimate Concentrate. There are many more Scientific System products available, and all are supposed to have a different benefit to the skin. People can easily become confused about which of these Academie Scientifique de Beaute products are worth the money, so it's best to have an ingredients list on hand to study. Unfortunately there are no easily locatable comprehensive ingredients lists for this company. They claim to use vitamin A, vitamin C, soy, wild yam, hyaluronic acid, collagen synthesis and ceramides in their products, but this is by no means a complete list.
The Good
- The Academie Scientifique de Beaute has a website where people can view relevant information about the company.
- Their products do have the potential to be effective against wrinkles and effective in combating the signs of ageing in general.
The Bad
- The products cannot be found on individual websites, so their ingredients are unknown specifically.
- There seem to be no official online testimonials, although there is information about the company itself.
- It isn't currently possible to purchase these products from the official website – it has to be done through a third-party vendor.
The Bottom Line
Although the Academie Scientifique de Beaut tells about their products, they don't seem to really offer enough specific information beyond maybe a few simple ingredients, and they don't include some of the most powerful anti-wrinkle agents such as Real Collagen or Matrixyl. Also, we feel like a company making the types of claims that the Academie Scientifique de Beaut is should have a few user testimonials to support these claims, and establish good faith with a customer base. The option to purchase products directly through the website should also be available for the sake of convenience.
