Overview

The AMBI Skin Care company was founded in the 1960's with the express purpose of providing skin care products to women with richer skin tones. They are particularly known for their fade creams that help restore a smooth, even skin tone and diminish the look of dark spots and discolorations. These fade creams have recently been revamped so women who use the products can see a difference in as little as two weeks. About that same time, AMBI skin care expanded to include the AMBI Even and Clear facial products that are designed to keep skin even-toned and blemish free. You can purchase these products at many retailers nationwide, making them convenient to find and very reasonably priced.

The AMBI skin care line known as Even and Clear contains ingredients that are claimed to maintain an even tone to the user’s skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots that are already present. The line includes a foaming cleanser, exfoliating wash and a daily moisturizer. The daily moisturizer includes an SPF 30 to help prevent additional sun damage to the skin. There is also a targeted mark reducer that will apply maximum strength to specific areas that need additional fading. These products claim to be effective on all skin types, with special ingredients added to prevent acne breakouts.

Product Details

The complex within this line of AMBI skin care products is called EvenBlend, and it is a combination of soy extract and vitamins C and E, which are intended to tone and soften the skin. Vitamins C and E are powerful antioxidants that can fight the effect of free radical damage on the skin. Vitamin C can also stimulate the production of collagen, which can in turn slow the effects of aging. However, other anti-aging products contain actual collagen, which is a much more effective means of turning back the clock on your skin.

Soy can also stimulate the body to produce Hyaluronic acid, which is an important substance in slowing the aging process. Other products contain actual Hyaluronic acid in the list of ingredients, which is generally the preferred formula for successful anti-aging products. To help acne prone individuals control breakouts, the products also include a dose of the astringent salicylic acid.

The Good

  • AMBI Skin Care products are easy to find and very inexpensive to purchase.
  • These products are specifically designed for women with deeper, richer skin tones.

The Bad

  • The ingredient list does not include any actual anti-aging substances like collagen or hyaluronic acid.
  • The website does not sell the product, so returns are handled through the retailer.
  • There is no money back guarantee that we could find on the product.

The Bottom Line

If you are a woman of Asian, African or South American heritage, these products are designed specifically for you and your unique skin care needs. However, if you are looking for an anti-aging product, there are other choices that have more effective ingredients and formulas, although they focus less on spot lightening. Consider if you are more concerned about an uneven skin tone or about wrinkles, and that should help you figure out if AMBI skin care is right for you or if you should keep looking.

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.
