Agera Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Agera is a global skin care company that provides a variety of lines to address the needs of consumers dealing with acne or the effects of aging. Agera offers two different types of skin care; a medical line that is used by doctors in their offices and a spa/salon line designed for use in spa treatments and the home. Product lines include cleansers, toners and specialty treatments that are meant to be used together for best results. The list of available products is a long one indeed, with many products providing seemingly similar results, which can make it confusing for consumers to choose the best formula for their needs.

We found the Agera website to be difficult to navigate with little information provided about the individual products. We believe that companies that provide important information like complete ingredient lists, customer testimonials and a money back guarantee policy to show confidence in their products and allow customers to shop with that same confidence. We are disappointed that we didn't find any of this information on the Agera website. However, we will take a closer look at one of the Agera anti-aging products to see if we can get enough information to accurately assess its effectiveness.

Product Details

The Agera Intensive Peptide Serum claims to help stimulate the production of collagen, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, repair sun damage and firm the skin. Unfortunately, we could not find a complete ingredient list for this product. We did find that the formula includes a high dose of vitamin C and a lipopeptide known as Prolifersyn. According to one website that sells this product, it is this lipopeptide that stimulates the production of collagen, for plumper, firmer, younger-looking skin.

While these ingredients may be able to improve the appearance of the skin to some degree, we are not convinced that these substances are the most effective in fighting the effects of the aging process. We prefer to see proven ingredients like matrixyl for stimulating the production of collagen and argireline, which has been proven in clinical studies to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 30%. Other effective ingredients include hyaluronic acid and soluble collagen. We don't have reason to believe that any of these ingredients are included in the Agera Intensive Peptide Serum.

The Good

  • The Agera skin care line includes many products designed for anti-aging.
  • The products are available for sale through online retailers.

The Bad

  • The Agera website is difficult to navigate and provides little information about the products.
  • There does not appear to be a money back guarantee.
  • We could not find customer testimonials on the products.
  • It does not seem that proven anti-aging ingredients are included in the formula.

The Bottom Line

The Agera line provides many options for consumers in their choices for skin care. However, the anti-aging products do not appear to include proven ingredients that can have a positive effect in turning back the clock on the skin. We believe that consumers should look for anti-aging products that contain matrixyl, argireline, hyaluronic acid and soluble collagen. The Agera products do not appear to offer these proven substances, making us skeptical of how well they will deliver on their promises.

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2010: Hydroxatone

After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Hydroxatone is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and contains all four of the most effective and exciting ingredients for reversing and preventing wrinkles: Matrxyl 3000®+ Argireline® + SPF + Hyuloronic Acid. No other formula combines these ingredients into one cream, and the Hydroxatone® website has testimonials from customers who have seen results. Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000® are two clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptides, while SPF provides sun protection and Hyuloronic Acid penetrates tissue to keep skin young and supple. Clinical data that a formula works says it all, and the Hydroxatone® website provides ample proof.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
