Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Care Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Care company has created several offerings as part of their product line for anti-ageing. One of these is the MegaDose Fortifying Serum, and it is considered to be their best product. It is intended to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improve the skin's elasticity. Also, this Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Care product could possibly stimulate collagen production to make the skin more capable of repairing existing damage. There are a large number of different products that claim to do the same thing, but likely don't live up to their claims, Because of this, it's necessary to always get as much information on a product's ingredients and on real user’s experience as possible.

Product Details

We looked for a listing of ingredients for the Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Care product and came up with a full listing for it. It is as follows: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Water/Eau, Dimethiconol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Glycosaminoglycans, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Yeast Extract/Extrait de Levura, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Punica Granatum Extract, Bambusa Vulgaris Extract, Pisum Sativum (Pea) Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Root Extract, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Dromiceius Oil, Salicylic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Hexyl Laurate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Fragrance/Parfum, Bisabolol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Panthenyl Ethyl Ether, Panthenol, Zinc Sulfate, Sodium Metabisulfite, Glucosamine HCl, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Allantoin, Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone, Resveratrol, Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben and Butylparaben.

There are several silicone-based ingredients in this product that appear in many cosmetics products. They make the skin feel smooth on the surface, but don't really do a lot to relieve the existence of wrinkles. It would be better if there were a proven ingredient such as hyaluronic acid or Argireline.

The Good

  • The full ingredients list for Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Care is available to view online through the website. There are many product websites that don't do this, so we do appreciate that this information is so readily available.
  • Also, this product can be purchased online through the website.

The Bad

  • Megadose Skin Care tends to be rather expensive, costing upwards of $80 per bottle. If it were proven to be effective this might be reasonable, but no such proof is offered.
  • There are no user testimonials online to judge this product's effectiveness. For the price it is, it's better to have proven and documented results.
  • There are no proven effective ingredients that we could find.

The Bottom Line

Although Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Care was intended and advertised to give anti-ageing benefits, we have our doubts. Given the lack of proven ingredients, we aren't eager to believe that it will perform. Also, there are many reviews online that complain about the product's smell – many people believe that any possible benefits the cream has are offset by the smell it gives off, which is unfortunate.

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.
