Overview
The BORBA Age Defying Discovery System is a one-stop shopping option for those interested in purchasing a full set of BORBA products. This is marketing approach that is becoming increasingly common among skincare brands with numerous products that are intended to address different skin care concerns. As a brand, BORBA is fairly well known, high-end skin care line. The brand was founded one Scott-Vincent Borba, and the philosophy behind the product line is that superior skin care must be addressed “inside and out”, meaning that a healthy diet and supplements are as important to youthful, firm skin as lotions and creams.
So what do we get with the BORBA Age Defying Discovery System? The brand advertises this eight piece kit as a “sampler”, so it could definitely be a good introduction to the BORBA brand. The BORBA Age Defying Discovery System sells for $48.00 from the official brand website. It is claimed that the products within this kit will “increase elasticity” and “soften fine lines.”

The Good
- Consumers get 5 products to try at once.
- The BORBA Age Defying Discovery System can be ordered easily from the official BORBA website.
The Bad
- This is a very time-consuming skin care regimen, especially compared to one-step systems.
- Maintaing the use of all 5 products in the BORBA Age Defying Discovery System could become difficult.
Several products in the kit contain paraben preservatives., which have been linked to skin irritation, especially in those with sensitive skin - No free trial offer of the BORBA Age Defying Discovery System seems to be available at this time.
The Bottom Line
At first glance, the BORBA Age Defying Discovery System looks like a good deal. However, quantity doesn’t always equal quality. We’d rather have one effective product than five products that don’t work very well or that contain potentially irritating ingredients. Even if the BORBA Age Defying Discovery System does work as promised, you’re still stuck with the prospect of a 5-step daily skin care routine, which does not compare favorably to some of the effective, one-step creams that we’ve looked at.
