Overview

Bioderma is a French manufacturer that produces cosmetics and skin care products. Their research and development unit is based in Aix en Provence in France. Many of its products are developed especially for sensitive skin. Bioderma says that it has worked in conjunction with scientists and dermatologists to produce the finest skin care available. They say that as a result of this they offer a holistic and corrective solution for each skin type. Two of its major anti-aging products are White Objective Cleansing Solution and White Objective Day Cream. The White Objective range is specially designed to eliminate pigmentation on aging skin or on skin affected by the sunlight. The aim of both these products is to block the synthesis of pigmentation. Both of these products contain a patented component known as W.O.

Product Details

Bioderma does have an official website, but you cannot order these products directly from their website. However, the White Objective range of products is available from online vendors. The Bioderma White Objective day cream is sold at $43.95, but we could not find a price for the White Objective cleansing solution. However, most of Bioderma’s products seem to be in the medium price range.

The ingredients in Bioderma’s White Objective cleansing solution consists of: Water, Peg-6 Caprylic, Polysorbate 20, Lysine, Azelate, Adrographis Paniculata Leaf Extract, Hexapeptide 2, Rhamnoes, Mannitol, Xylitol, Fructooligosaccarides, Diproplyene Glycol, Butylene Glycol and Disodium EDTA.

In the White Objective day cream Bioderma focuses on the fact that Vitamin C is a crucial active ingredient. It has properties which block the creation of melanin, which is of course what causes brown spots and pigmentation. It is true that Vitamin C does help to block pigmentation. In fact Vitamin C is one of the most widely used antioxidants in skin care products on the market today.

The Good

  • There is an official Bioderma website.
  • The products are reasonably priced.
  • Those who have particularly sensitive skin can use these products.

The Bad

  • You cannot order Bioderma directly from the website.
  • There is no free gift with purchase.
  • The website does not give details on the price of products.
  • Biotherm does not actually provide us with any clinical studies or info on product research and development.

The Bottom Line

Many women of a certain age are certainly very preoccupied by dark spots and pigmentation on their skin. The majority of these women are of course looking for a safe and efficient solution. There are a great number of lightening products on the market which state that they reduce and eliminate pigmentation, the problem being that many of them use ingredients for which there are possible safety concerns. While liver and age spots are certainly one of the symptoms of aging, usually those looking to stop or reverse time are more preoccupied with wrinkles. Bioderma looks like it could be a decent solution for age spots, but those looking for a comprehensive anti-aging solution will probably want to 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.
