Bobbi Brown Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The Bobbi Brown range of skincare and makeup was founded by Bobbi Brown who debuted her range of lipsticks for Bergdorf Goodman back in 1991. Since then, her range of products has grown. As well as makeup removers in her skin care range, there are also two anti-aging products. These are the Bobbi Brown Overnight Cream and the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Night Cream.

Product Details

There is an official website for the Bobbi Brown range of products, and it seems like all products can be ordered directly from the official website. We are told that the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream is designed to be applied under the Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer. The website claims that it will minimise dry and fine lines. We are also told that it should be applied twice a day and is suitable for all types of skin. The official website tells us that it is vitamin enriched and that it contains Carrot Extract, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. There is, however, no exact list of ingredients.

The price of this product is not given, and there does not seem to be an offer of a money back guarantee upon purchase, nor is there an offer of a free trial size sample via the website. Also the ingredients in the Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream are available in a large number of other eye and face moisturizing creams on the market today. The second anti-aging product in the skin care range is the Bobbi Brown Overnight Cream. We are told that it will repair and restore your skin while you are sleeping. As with the eye cream there is no precise list of ingredients. The official website tells us that the Bobbi Brown Overnight Cream contains Milk Thistle Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, and Lavender Extract.

The Good

  • There is an official website for the Bobbi Brown range of skin care and makeup products.
  • Products can be ordered directly online.
  • There are some anti-aging products within the Bobbi Brown skincare range.

The Bad

  • The price details of the Bobbi Brown range of products are not evident.
  • Although there is some information about ingredients given, there is no precise list of ingredients in each product.
  • There does not seem to be a money back guarantee upon purchase, nor is there an offer of a free trial size sample upon purchase.
  • The Bobbi Brown product line seems to be more about general skin health than specifically fighting and correcting wrinkles.

The Bottom Line

The Bobbi Brown range of skin care and makeup is a well established brand with a loyal client base. However, where their anti-aging skin products are concerned, there is no proof that they are more effective than other, similar anti-aging products for sale. We cannot therefore see much that distinguishing them over and above these other products.

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.
