Colladerm Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Colladerm is a skin care product that works to erase facial wrinkles by reforming the skin and smoothing out facial tissue. It does this by being rich in collagen stimulating ingredients, which help the skin to maintain its moisture and its ability to keep a youthful appearance. Also, it's free of oil, or so the website claims. The Colladerm products are said to be highly effective. It's worth taking a good look at this product line to see how it stacks up against other skin care products that have anti-ageing benefits. It's important for people to fully understand what abilities and possible side effects a skin care product has before buying or using it.

Product Details

Although the Colladerm product is supposed to be a hydrating and moisturizing product, there doesn't seem to be too much about it that's unique. It is a gel formula that includes collagen, which does help to increase the skin's fiber count and why may reduce the presence of wrinkles. It includes water, glycerin, soluble collagen, hydrolyzed elastin, allantoin, hydroxyethyl ethylcellulose, sorbic acid and octoxynol-9.

However, Colladerm doesn't have hyaluronic acid or Matrixyl 3000. Both of these ingredients are intended to promote the natural formation of collagen in the skin to keep it soft and pliable with age. If you're looking for a quality skin care product with anti-ageing benefits, it's important that the product feature proven wrinkle fighters like these.

The Good

  • From what we saw on the website, the prices of Colladerm products are pretty reasonable.
  • There is a way to conveniently order the products on the website, right at the bottom of the page. This makes it stand out from some other companies that don't offer their products directly through their websites.
  • The product line of Colladerm contains collagen stimulants as ingredients.
  • It's been said to be a good alternative to Botox treatments.

The Bad

  • We could find no refund policy on the website, which makes purchasing products a gamble because you may not get a refund if it doesn't work and you will have wasted money.
  • This seems to be a relatively unknown product line, because it has yet to be shown in any major publications like beauty magazines or TV shows.
  • Certain ingredients that are core to many skin care anti-ageing products aren't included, such as hyaluronic acid, Matrixyl 3000 or Argireline.
  • We could find no method of online customer service – everything seems to be stated on the website, but there doesn't seem to be a way for customers to ask additional questions.

The Bottom Line

There are hundreds of products that offer anti-ageing capabilies on the market, and many of them contain the key ingredients listed above. The Colladerm line, unfortunately, does not contain these ingredients, and overall it has little information on the website. It's better to go with a product that's been proven to work via user testimonials or experiments, and that are therefore backed by certified dermatologists.

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.
