Avene TriXera Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The company that makes the Avene TriXera product is Avene Dermatological Laboratories. This was one of the first cosmetics companies in Europe that worked closely with pharmaceuticals to develop products that are effective in meeting a whole host of skin care needs. The Avene TriXera line boasts the addition of Avene spring water, which is thought to be rich in minerals and an excellent source of hydration for the skin. In fact, Avene boasts a new Hydrotherapy Center that takes full advantage of the spring water found there with a full commitment to the field of dermatology.

The Avene TriXera products are said to be some of the best hydration products around. The emollient cream is a hypoallergenic treatment option for people with extremely dry and sensitive skin. According to the websites that sells this product, the ingredients found within are gentle enough to make Avene TriXera safe for even babies and young children. It claims that the TriXera product can treat many skin conditions like eczema or simple irritation to the skin. The recommendations are to use the emollient at least twice a day on dry skin for best results.

Product Details

Avene TriXera has numerous hydrating ingredients, including Avene’s patented spring water, that makes up more than half of the emollient. According to legend – and the Avene company website—knowledge of the curative powers of the thermal spring water found here date back 250 years. Supposedly it was this spring water that was used to treat the burn victims of the Chicago fire in 1871. Today, that simple spring has evolved into a dermatological laboratory where products are tested by staff scientists. Other ingredients within the Avene TriXera emollient include mineral oil, coconut oil and evening primrose oil.

Clinical studies for the ingredients are cited on the company website, and you can find a full listing of ingredients at an assortment of websites that sell the product. While this information is encouraging indeed, we are a little disappointed in the types of ingredients that are listed – or more importantly not listed - for the Avene TriXera products. There are no proven anti-aging substances like hyaluronic acid, argireline, collagen or matrixyl in this Avene product.

The Good

  • The ingredients listed provide excellent moisturizing benefits.
  • The product has been clinically tested by Avene Dermatological Laboratories.

The Bad

  • There are no anti-aging ingredients listed in this product and it seems to be primarily a moisturizer.
  • While Avene TriXera may do a bang up job moisturizing, there is no anti-aging value to the product.
  • There does not seem to be a money back guarantee on this product at this time.

The Bottom Line

Avene Dermatological Laboratories make a line of skin care products that have numerous benefits and some have clinical research to back them up. Avene TriXera is a product that has phenomenal hydrating potential. However, as an anti-aging product, it is nowhere near the mark with the ingredients that it provides. Look elsewhere for products to fight the aging process and keep this one as an effective moisturizer.

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.
