Canyon Ranch Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Canyon Ranch manufactures a line of skin care products under the brand name “Your Transformation”, and the company claims that this line will renew, resist damage, and restore skin. The Canyon Ranch website states that ProNAD, a patented ingredient representing bio-active Vitamin B3, was discovered in partnership with researchers from the University of Arizona. According to the website, ProNAD has been proven to be so effective at skin cell repair that it has been chosen by the National Cancer Institute for further study as a potential skin cancer preventative.

The Canyon Ranch website provides no further detail on the company or the products, but rather it directs customers to two partner online retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue. The Canyon Ranch Your Transformation line includes nine products including moisturizers, facial scrubs, and its Age Transforming Concentrate Serum. According to the retailers’ websites, the Serum provides “clinical strength” ProNAD to provide the fastest penetration and regeneration of skin cells. There is no definition of the term “clinical strength” or of the detailed benefits of ProNAD to the skin. Because Canyon Ranch does not sell its own products on its website, the company does not offer a product guarantee or a free sample or trial size version of its product, which makes it difficult for consumers to assess the product before sinking $150 into a one ounce tube of it.

Product Details

There are very few product details readily available for the Canyon Ranch Age Transforming Concentrate Serum. There is no list of ingredients on the Canyon Ranch website or the retailers’ sites. The only known ingredient is the proprietary ProNAD ingredient, which is a form of Vitamin B. This product could contain allergenic ingredients or fragrances to which some consumers may be sensitive. Because there are no application instructions, it is difficult to assess how long a one ounce tube of Canyon Ranch Age Transforming Concentrate Serum will last.

The restorative claims of the Canyon Ranch products are vague and do not address specific skin issues such as wrinkles or dry skin.

The Good

  • Contains Vitamin B.
  • Product is available through online retailers.

The Bad

  • No detailed ingredient list is readily available.
  • No information on the effectiveness of this product against wrinkles and problem skin is available.
  • No money-back guarantee or trial size is available for this $150 product.
  • There is no way to contact Canyon Ranch directly through its website to obtain more information.

The Bottom Line

Canyon Ranch products, including the Age Transforming Concentrate Serum, remain a mystery even to those consumers who do their research. A lack of product ingredient information leaves open the possibility that the products contain allergenic or other questionable ingredients. There is no easy way for consumers to assess the effectiveness of the proprietary ingredient, ProNAD, without investing in the product. Not having a money-back guarantee, not having samples available, and having no way to directly contact Canyon Ranch with questions raises the question of how much the company stands behind its skin care products. With so many other alternatives for anti-wrinkle and skin regenerative products on the market, it is difficult to recommend one that is so expensive and has so few details available.
