Overview

Ambi is a skin care line that was developed in 1966 and is intended for women with “richer skin tones.” This line of products is basically marketed toward women with darker skin tones, such as women with an African, South Asian or Latin heritage. One of the key aspects of the Ambi skin care line is the manufacturer’s line of fade creams. These products aim to assist with skin discolorations and dark spots. These creams claim to work as quickly as two weeks to even out skin tone. However, Ambi does not appear to come with a 100% money-back guarantee.

The Ambi skin care brand can be broken down into three separate categories known as Facial Skincare, Fade Creams and Specialty Bars. While Ambi products are not sold on the official Ambi website, they can be purchased in common drugstores. Some of the primary ingredients found in Ambi treatments are Salicylic Acid (helps with cell renewal), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Hydroquinone (skin bleaching agent) and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (helps to exfoliate dead skin cells). The official Ambi website does not appear to offer any customer testimonials. Ambi treatments have been featured in magazines like Vixen. In an expanding market of skin care products that are primarily suited for light skin types, Ambi offers an alternative for women with darker skin. These products endeavor to assist with skin discolorations, fine lines, acne, wrinkles, age spots and sun damage.

The Good

  • Ambi skin care products can be conveniently purchased in common drugstores.
  • Ambi products contain Vitamins C and E.
  • Ambi has been around since 1966, which some individuals may find reassuring.

The Bad

  • There does not appear to be any clinical trial data or lab development tests provided on the official Ambi website to support the effectiveness of Ambi products.
  • The official website lacks customer testimonials.
  • Ambi does not appear to come with a money-back guarantee.
  • Some ingredients found in Ambi skin care products may not be suitable for some individuals.
  • Ambi cannot be conveniently purchased online through the website.
  • Full product ingredient lists are absent from the website..
  • There are no prices for Ambi skin care products given on the official website.

The Bottom Line

The notion that Ambi skin products were developed for women with darker skin types is certainly unique, especially if you consider all the skin care lines currently available. However, the official website does not reveal much in regards to clinical research on the products. Most likely these skin products would be marketed more effectively if the official Ambi website actually posted customer testimonials and a money-back guarantee. Also, many of Ambi’s products seem more geared towards treating skin blemishes and discoloration, and less towards fighting wrinkles. Most of the dedicated wrinkles treatments that we look at here are suitable for all skin tones.

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.
