Aveeno Positively Ageless

 Updated On:

Overview

The Aveeno range of skin care and bath products is owned by the skin care manufacturing giant Johnson & Johnson. There are anti-aging products included in this brand, and this line of products is known as the Aveeno PositivelyAgeless range. There is a detailed and well constructed website for the products in the Aveeno range. The official website tells us that the main active ingredient in the anti-aging products in the Aveeno Positively Ageless range is a patented soy complex.

Product Details

One of the anti-aging products in the Aveeno range is the Aveeno Positively Ageless Anti Wrinkle Cream. The official website tells us that this cream will reduce pigmentation, as well as smooth out lines and wrinkles. The ingredients in this cream include Soy Complex, Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E. We know that as we age the amount of collagen in the body decreases and that this can lead to signs of aging such as sagging skin, lines and wrinkles. It was thought at one time that soy was a good way to increase the amount of collagen in the skin, however, some experts now believe that the inclusion of peptides in anti-aging products is a more efficient way to increase the amount of collagen in the skin. Clinical tests have shown that ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000, which is a combined peptide ingredient, can have a positive effect on signs of aging.

At the time of the writing of this review, the official website for the Aveeno Positively Ageless range allows you to sign up for some promotional offers such as a coupon for $1.50 off Aveeno Positively Ageless products, as well as a free sample of the Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting and Night Firming Cream. The official website also includes an ‘Ask An Expert’ function that allows you to send a question to an Aveeno Skincare Expert via the official website.

  • The official website includes an, ‘Ask An Expert,’ function.

The Bad

  • The Aveeno Positively Ageless range is not the only anti-aging range thats contains Soy.
  • Some experts believe that ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000 are more efficient at reducing the signs of aging than topically applied Soy.

The Bottom Line

Johnson & Johnson, the company that owns the Aveeno Positively Aging range, is a well-established brand with a loyal client base. However when women are choosing an anti-aging product they often search for products with ingredients that demonstrate the newest anti-aging research and technology. Although Soy, which is present in the products in the Aveeno Positively Aging range, is thought to have an effect on collagen synthesis, we know that clinical trials have shown that ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000, a more recent ingredient than soy, definitely have an impressive effect on aging and collagen production.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  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.
