Clientele Cosmetics Review

Updated On:

Overview

Clientele is the brainchild of Pat Riley, a scientist who founded the company 30 years ago. Since then, she claims to be working to bring "the latest advances and innovations" to keep women "healthy and beautiful, both inside and out." The Clientele Cosmetics line includes skin care, makeup, nutrients and hair and body care. The products are primarily sold through the company website and QVC, where Riley frequently shows up to promote her products. We must say that the company website does not come across very professionally, as the link to learn more about Riley did not seem to work and the pages for the individual products are greatly lacking. It is also difficult to navigate through the website to find specific products.

Within the skin care category, there are numerous cleansers, toners and anti-aging products. When numerous products in a single line claim a similar function, we have to wonder why the focus was not simply on a single product of the highest quality. However, we realize that ingredients, testimonials and clinical studies will be the best determinant of the effectiveness of a product. We will take a look at one specific item in the Clientele cosmetics line that will be of interest to our readers; the Wrinkle Treatment.

Product Details

The Clientele Wrinkle Treatment claims to "work wonders on aged, damaged dry areas". It also claims that you will see results "seconds after using it". This is not generally the case for a wrinkle cream, and most companies will boast results in as little as a few weeks. The company states that the treatment contains antioxidant enzymes that will "slow oxidative aging" and leave skin softer and more supple. While antioxidants are an effective ingredient when it comes to addressing and preventing problems caused by free radicals in the environment, we would prefer to see which antioxidants are included in this formula. We would also like to see additional ingredients that might be in the product, but no other substances are listed. This is a concern to women who have sensitive skin and might be prone to allergic reactions or irritation from particular substances.

Antioxidants like those claimed to be included in Clientele Cosmetics are a good ingredient to have in a basic moisturizer or anti-aging product, but they will not effectively diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For this purpose, a formula should include matrixyl 3000, hyaluronic acid, argireline or collagen in the mix. None of these ingredients are listed on the Clientele cosmetics website for this wrinkle treatment.

The Good

  • The product claims to have antioxidants in the formula.
  • Clientele Cosmetics focus on moisturizers.

The Bad

  • We found few ingredients disclosed for this product.
  • We could find no customer testimonials at the time of review.
  • The product is only available through the company website and QVC.

The Bottom Line

While this may be a good wrinkle treatment, without a full product list or any other information, it is impossible to know for sure. With an unprofessional website for Clientele cosmetics and few sources for purchasing the product, we would recommend that you proceed with caution when purchasing from this company.

This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and contains all four of the most effective and exciting ingredients for reversing and preventing wrinkles: Matrxyl 3000®+ Argireline® + SPF + Hyuloronic Acid. No other formula combines these ingredients into one cream, and the Hydroxatone® website has testimonials from customers who have seen results. Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000® are two clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptides, while SPF provides sun protection and Hyuloronic Acid penetrates tissue to keep skin young and supple. Clinical data that a formula works says it all, and the Hydroxatone® website provides ample proof.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
