Alchimie Diode Serums Review
On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview

The Alchimie skin care products were developed by the Polla family in Switzerland. Dr. Luigi Polla is a dermatologist with extensive experience in the field of laser therapy and Dr. Barbara Polla has participated in biomedical research with a focus on cellular aging. The products claim to combine more than 20 years of research into antioxidants and the aging process to back them up. The focus of the science is to replenish antioxidant levels in the skin to help combat the effect of free radicals in the environment. Free radicals that come from places like air pollution, UV rays from the sun and cigarette smoke can speed the aging process in the skin and increase the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

The Alchimie Diode Serums come in a double package and are numbered so you can apply them in consecutive order twice a day. These serums claim to smooth, tone, tighten and lighten the skin with regular use. The website also states that using the product morning and night will help to diminish fine lines on the face and fade brown spots on the skin. Simply apply the serums to your clean, towel dried skin morning and night before applying your usual makeup or moisturizer. You can use this product on any skin type, and there are Alchimie Diode Serums for men as well. The double pack sells for around $85 online at the company website.

Product Detail

The wonder ingredients that are listed for Alchimie Diode Serums are two powerful antioxidants; rosemary and green tea extract. Rosemary is a good ingredient for an anti-aging product for a number of reasons. This powerful herb can effectively tighten sagging skin, reduce puffiness and increase blood flow for a healthier glow. Because of the powerful antioxidants in green tea extract, this ingredient has been shown to slow the effects of aging and effectively keep free radicals at bay. Whether it can actually diminish fine lines and wrinkles that have already appeared remains to be seen. We could not find other ingredients on the website or in any other research we explored.

The Good

  • The antioxidants pack a powerful punch that can be effective against free radical damage.
  • The product is backed by experience in the field of antioxidants.

The Bad

  • Alchinie Diode Serums are on the pricey side.
  • You must use two products twice a day as opposed to one.
  • There are no known anti-aging ingredients like collagen or a cutting edge peptide in the formula.
  • The product return policy is unclear.

The Bottom Line

The Alchimie Diode Serums might be a good product for defending against free radicals and sun damage, but they don't have any ingredients that would suggest they are effective when it comes to turning back the clock on your skin and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. If you are looking for a product to help prevent the aging process, this may be one to consider. If damage has already been done to your skin, there are better ingredients and products out there.

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.
