CBI Botanical Bio Review

 Updated On:

Overview

CBI Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme is marketed as an intensive conditioning cream that stimulates collagen re-growth and reduces and eliminates both shallow and deep wrinkles.

The CBI website focuses on retailers and wholesalers and does not provide much information for the consumer. There is no list of product ingredients, or any indication of clinical studies that prove the effectiveness of the active ingredients. The CBI website does not sell CBI products directly but there are several online retailers carrying the product. There is no indication of samples of CBI Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme offered so that the consumer can try the product before investing in an entire bottle. There also does not appear to be a money-back guarantee.

Product Details

There are very few product details available on the CBI website. CBI Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme claims to reverse the effects of environmentally-stressed skin and to combat the negative effects of aging. The website does not explain which active ingredients are responsible for these actions on the skin. The product does contain peptides, according to its name. Peptides are commonly found in anti-wrinkle formulations and have been clinically tested as being an effective ingredient in skin-repairing lotions. There are many types of peptides, some more effective than others, so without knowing the specific type of peptide contained in CBI Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme, it is difficult to be able to assess the product’s effectiveness.

The description of the product does not include any information about potentially allergy-inducing ingredients.

The Good

  • Contains peptides which have some clinical trials suggesting they are effective in wrinkle reduction regimens.
  • Product stimulates collagen production and reduces even deep wrinkles according to retailer websites.

The Bad

  • CBI website does not provide a full list of ingredients.
  • Cannot purchase product on CBI company website.
  • No information appears to be available regarding effectiveness of the active ingredients.
  • No product guarantee appears to be available.

The Bottom Line

CBI Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme contains peptides, which are commonly used in higher-end wrinkle reduction formulations. However, because of the lack of information on the official website regarding the type of peptides included and the other active ingredients, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of the product or its ability to induce allergies. Those consumers who have had allergic reactions to skin products in the past should stay with a product that is proven non-allergenic and has no chemical fragrances or colorings.

The apparent lack of product samples available or a money-back guarantee makes buying CBI Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme a financial risk. There are several other products on the market that have clinically-proven ingredients and the ability to test first and get your money back if a product doesn’t meet your expectations.

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.
