Borghese Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Borghese is a cosmetic/skin care brand that “blends modern technology with classic Italian beauty.” This skin care line offers a variety of products in categories like hair care, hand/body, skin care, spa, makeup, fragrance and men’s club. Borghese aims to offer cosmetics and skin care treatments that assist with anti-aging and regular skin maintenance. These products are derived from the notions of science, luxury, health and nature. Borghese places a focus on “cutting edge technology” and organic ingredients when it comes to their products. Fango Mud for the face and body is their signature item.

The Borghese line incorporates some exclusive active ingredients into their products such as Stratopeptide Energizing Complex (combination of Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3, Coenzyme Q10 and Super Hydroxy-Humectant), Vitamin C and natural botanicals. Borghese skin care treatments endeavor to sooth the skin, reduce fine lines, assist with crow’s feet, minimize redness and help reduce sun damage. All Borghese products can be purchased via the official website, as well as in finer department stores. There does not appear to be customer testimonials offered on the Borghese website to help endorse the skin care line. Unlike some skin care companies, Borghese does offer a line of products exclusively for men. Borghese products are not tested on animals; however, they may contain some components derived from animals.

Product Details

The goal of these treatments is to assist users with anti-aging, cleansing, toning, revitalizing and maintaining a more youthful appearance. Some notable ingredients found in Borghese products are Stratopeptide Energizing Complex, which is a combination of Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 (reduces wrinkles by stimulating cell growth), Coenzyme Q10 (delivers energy and oxygen to the skin cells) and Super Hydroxy-Humectant (helps hydrate the skin by locking moisture in), Vitamin C and natural botanicals.

The Good

  • Borghese products can be conveniently purchased on the official website and in “fine” department stores.
  • Borghese skin treatments contain natural botanicals.
  • The official Borghese website is informative and easy to navigate.
  • Borghese works with charities.
  • Borghese does not test on animals.

The Bad

  • There does not appear to be a 100 percent money-back guarantee posted on the official Borghese website.
  • The website does not offer substantial clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of Borghese products.
  • Full ingredient lists are not offered on the website.
  • There are no customer testimonials offered on the official website.
  • Some individuals may be allergic to certain components of Borghese products.
  • Borghese products do contain some ingredients derived from animals.

The Bottom Line

In the world of skin care products, Borghese is merely one of many. While this product line does offer some unique products such as Fango Mud, other skin care lines certainly sell for lower prices. When all is said and done, Borghese could be more effective in marketing their line if they add some clinical research to their official website to support the products’ effectiveness, as well as a few customer testimonials or a money-back guarantee.

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.
