Overview
When you think of wrinkles, you certainly don’t think of Joan Collins. Which is probably why the makers of the wrinkle-fighting product Cellex-C picked the Dynasty bombshell to be the face of their cream. But once we get past Ms. Collins’ dazzling smile, what is the Cellex-C approach to skin care? As the brand name implies, Cellex-C claims to fight wrinkles and skin damage by supplementing your skin’s natural Vitamin C production. Cellex-C is formulated with their own patented vitamin C complex. Vitamin C is an essential and natural component in your skin, and it is what keeps skin looking soft and elastic. As you age, free radicals found in the environment reduce your body’s Vitamin C production. This brings about a decline in natural collagen production, ultimately resulting in wrinkles.
Cellex-C claims that their patented Vitamin C complex sets it apart from other, similar Vitamin complex products on the market. This patented ingredient, which the manufacturers refer to simply as “The Complex,” is an ascorbic acid concentrate. This is what forms the backbone of all of the products offered by Cellex-C.
Product Details
Cellex-C offers six different lines of products. They are: Patented, Enhancers, Betaplex, Suncare Correctives and Kits. One of the company’s newest and most heavily promoted products is called Age Less 15 Skin Signaling Serum. This product claims to have been developed to do more than affect your skin’s Vitamin C production, and to actually change your skin’s “extra-cellular gel.” This “extra-cellular gel” acts as an architecture for our skin and gives it its overall shape. It also transmits environmental “signals” between skin cells, stimulating them to adapt to timely environmental cues. As we age, Cellex-C claims that this complex begins to break down. This means that, according to the official product website, your cells begin to do “wrong things” based on faulty cues. This results in sagging skin and “older” skin texture.
For the Age Less 15 Skin Signaling Serum, the crucial active ingredient is the manufacturer’s patented Phyto-Glycan Complex. Not many details are given, but it is claimed that this ingredient provides a “better environment” for skin signaling, resulting in younger looking skin.
In addition to the Phyto-Glycan Complex, this Cellex-C product also contains these active ingredients: Glycosaminoglycans, Fraction of Hyaluronan, Sulphated Proteoglycans, Anthocyanosides, Ellagitannins, Beta (1,3) Glycan Polysaccharides.
The Good
- Contact info is available on official website for product purchase inquiries.
- Some research data is given for some products.
The Bad
- Product seems to be only available from “a licensed skin care professional,” meaning that it could be hard to obtain.
- At $175.00 for a 30Ml. bottle, this is one of the more expensive anti-aging treatments on the market.
- While some product development trials are given, we wonder why we haven’t heard more about the “skin signaling” that this product is based on.
- No money back guarantee offered.
The Bottom Line
It’s hard to get past the price when it comes to Cellex-C products. No offense to Ms. Joan Collins, but if we’re putting that kind of cash on the line, we’d definitely like to at least get some kind of manufacturer guarantee. While some info on the official Cellex-C website leads us to believe that at least a couple ingredients in this product were thoroughly researched, we think our readers can find similar quality for less money.
