Overview

Alexandra de Markoff is a skin care/cosmetic line named, not surprisingly, after one Alexandra de Markoff. Apparently this “noble and sophisticated” Russian woman had high standards when it came to skin care and make up products, hence this product manufacturer’s choice of Ms. Markoff as a brand icon. This company claims to be high-end and to meet only the “highest standards.” The Alexandra de Markoff skin care line incorporates categories like eye care, moisturizers, toners, cleansers, masks and special care. The official Alexandra de Markoff website does not offer any customer testimonials, nor is a 100% money-back guarantee advertised.

Some of the primary components of Alexandra de Markoff skin care products are natural botanicals (sooth and calm skin), algae (calms irritation), Vitamins A,C, E and D, Avocado oil (helps moisturize), green tea extract and fruit acids (AHAs). Alexandra de Markoff skin treatments are marketed toward women specifically and aim to assist with routine skin dilemmas such as dryness, fine lines, hyper pigmentation, crow’s feet, blotchiness, age spots, facial wrinkles, sun damage and frown lines. Full ingredient lists for these skin products are not provided on the official website. Primarily Alexandra de Markoff products are geared toward aging women and come across like many other department store skin care/cosmetic lines. No free trial samples of Alexandra de Markoff products are offered via the official website.

The Bottom Line

Overall the Alexandra de Markoff skin care and cosmetic line comes across like many of the current department store cosmetic brands. While this skin care line claims to offer the highest quality products, it’s truly difficult to distinguish what sets them apart from the countless other skin care lines currently available. Maybe if Alexandra de Markoff offered a few customer testimonials, some real clinical proof or trial samples on their official website, consumers would take a greater interest in this product line.

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.
