Cellex C High Potency Serum Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Cellex-C High Potency Serum falls into the Core Formulations category of the Cellex-C anti-aging products. We must comment on the large number of products that Cellex-C includes in their anti-aging line, which may make it difficult for some consumers to choose the best item for them. Most of these products come with very similar formulas, leading us to wonder why so many variations are necessary. We feel that a manufacturer who only offers one or two items in this area will have a better chance of meeting a consumer's need by providing a single, effective formula that will take care of most anti-aging concerns. However, we will look closely at the Cellex-C High Potency Serum to see if the formula will provide the biggest bang for a curious consumer's anti-aging buck.

The main feature that is touted in the Cellex-C products is a patented vitamin C complex that allows the substance to remain stabilized for greatest benefit. This formula combines L-ascorbic acid, the purest form of vitamin C, zinc and tyrosine. The products are fairly expensive, with the Cellex-C High Potency Serum selling for $100 for a one-ounce bottle. The preferred distributor of the Cellex-C High Potency Serum does provide a 30-day money back guarantee on all products sold. However, we also would have liked to see customer testimonials and before and after photos to back up the claims of this product.

Product Details

The Cellex-C High Potency Serum contains zinc sulfate, water, ascorbic acid, acetyl tyrosine, sodium hyaluronate and bioflavonoids. Ascorbic acid is an effective antioxidant that can protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun that contribute to both the aging process and skin cancer. However, there is not as much evidence to suggest that it is an effective ingredient in eliminating the effects of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, which have already occurred. It is also difficult to assess the actual potency of the ascorbic acid in a formula, since oxidation can easily occur and minimize the results of the substance on the skin.

We are happy to see that the Cellex-C High Potency Serum also includes sodium hyaluronate in the mix. This substance is a very effective skin hydrator that can help the skin retain moisture, thereby smoothing the surface and minimizing the look of fine lines. However, we believe that sodium hyaluronate is much more effective when it is combined with proven anti-aging ingredients like matrixyl or argireline. Neither of these ingredients is included on the list.

The Good

  • Cellex-C High Potency Serum contains sodium hyaluronate.
  • The company selling the product offers a money back guarantee.

The Bad

  • Other proven anti-aging ingredients are absent from the formula.
  • We were unable to find customer testimonials and before and after photos.
  • Cellex-C High Potency Serum is very expensive.

The Bottom Line

With a high price tag and few proven anti-aging ingredients to boast of, we believe there are better anti-aging products available. While Cellex-C High Potency Serum may be an excellent choice for those looking to ward off the effects of aging, those who want to get rid of existing wrinkles may have to look elsewhere.

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use.
