The Bottom Line
While the effects of this very expensive product seem to have potential, there is nothing that special in the product that makes it stand out from competitors. For over $80 per ounce a consumer would really want something special. The particular thing that stands out to us about Benev Vitamin C Cream is that they advertise that they are a company that uses a FDA approved facility, but then do not provide data to back up their product development experiments. If you go see your dermatologist and he or she prescribes Benev Vitamin C Cream, then you’d be best following this professional advice because there isn’t much to suggest it wouldn’t work for specific skin types. However, if you’re looking for an easily available wrinkle fighter, this wouldn’t be our first choice.
