Avena Review

 Updated On:

Overview

A major pitch in today’s skin care and beauty market is all-natural ingredients. It never seems to hurt to say that your products are made with plant extracts, sea botanicals or herbal components. Well, one brand name that places some focus on herbal and botanical ingredients is Avena, which is also known as Avena Botanicals. This product line essentially offers herbal teas, women’s health supplements, liquid extracts, children’s formulas, herbal powders and herbal oils, crèmes and salves. The official website states right at the top that “healing begins in the garden.”

Avena Botanicals got started back in 1985. This company was actually founded by an herbalist named Deb Soule. She was apparently heavily into growing her own vegetables and herbs. Eventually this passion turned into the developing of several herbal remedies. It is claimed that “nearly 70 percent” of the herbal ingredients incorporated into Avena products come from “certified organic gardens.” Some of the skin care crèmes offered by this company are Elder Flower Crème, Fairy Flower Crème and Yoni Crème. These topical moisturizers contain major ingredients like Rosewater, Beeswax, Coconut Oil and Lavender. Avena Botanicals also provides essential oils to consumers, which primarily contain components like pure oils from certified organic plants. These treatments are claimed not to contain alcohol, solvents or additives of any kind.

Product Details

Avena offers a variety of skin care treatments that are primarily geared towards women. These topical products are infused with all-natural oils and herbs from organically grown plants. Like many other brands, Avena Botanicals are used to potentially remedy skin issues and health concerns. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any clinical research presented on the official website for Avena. However, all products can be easily ordered via the website. This company even offers some specials and gifts at this time. There is a convenient 1-800 number posted on the official website for questions and concerns.

The Good

  • Avena Botanicals has been around since 1985.
  • There are over 140 different herbal ingredients incorporated into Avena supplements, oils and skin care treatments.
  • All Avena Botanicals can be easily obtained through the official website.

The Bad

  • Some natural components involved with Avena products may cause allergic reactions in some users, if allergies already apply.
  • There is no 100 percent satisfaction/money-back guarantee posted on the official website to back Avena.
  • Full lists of components for each product do not appear to be revealed.
  • Clinical studies on Avena treatments are not presented on the website to support the effectiveness of the products.
  • No customer reviews are offered for Avena.

The Bottom Line

When it comes down to it, the Avena Botanicals line appears rather unique in regards to its incorporation of botanicals, herbal ingredients and plant extracts. On the plus side, many of these components could benefit the user’s skin. However, it would also be good to see some actual reviews of Avena treatments posted by past users in order to give new users and idea of how effective they are. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to see a guarantee offered on the website to ensure a refund for customers who are not satisfied.

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. 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.
