Overview

Cosmedicine has a number of skin care products within its range which includes moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams and sun care creams. One of its major anti aging and anti wrinkle face creams is called Hydra Healer Maximum Strength Moisture Cream. The manufacturers of this cream say that it is a convergence of more than thirty five highly specialized skin care ingredients. One of the primary active ingredients is Sodium Hyaluronate. The manufacturers say that the Cosmedicine range of skin care products was formulated by Klinger Advanced Aesthetics, a team of dermatologists, scientists and skin care experts.

Product Review

The manufacturers of the Cosmedicine range say that the company’s moto and ethic is to do no harm to the skin. The company has a very detailed and comprehensive website. The Cosmedicine Hydra Healer Maximum Strength Mositure Cream will apparently moisturize your skin as well as help reduce your wrinkles. The manufacturers say that the moisture cream helps bind and attract water to your skin, which will restore your youthful volume and contours. The primary active ingredient in this product, Sodium Hyaluronate, is a version of the substance found in some of the newest wrinkle fillers on the market today. Sodium Hyaluronate is similar to the synovial fluid that surrounds our joints. The manufacturers say that the Cosmedicine hydra healer moisture cream should be applied with the fingertips gently over the face in the morning and the evening. This Cosmedicine product is also heavily marketed as helping to sooth skin after a cosmetic surgical procedure such as a facelift. The Hydra Healer face cream is sold online and in department stores. The sale price is $75.

The Good

  • There is an official website for Cosmedicine.
  • The entire product line is available to order directly on line.
  • The skin care products by Cosmedicine can be purchased in travel sizes for convenience on-the-go.

The Bad

  • There is no free gift when you purchase a skin care product by Cosmedicine.
  • There does not seem to be any kind of money-back guarantee after your purchase.
  • Although there have been trials carried out on the Cosmedicine Hydra Healer product, there do not appear to have been controlled standardized tests carried out.
  • There is little clinical evidence, before-and-after pictures or user testimonials offered to prove that the hydra healer help to reduce a users wrinkles.

The Bottom Line

The manufacturers of the Cosmedicine Hydra Healer Maximum Strength Moisture cream focus on the fact that there is sodium hyluronate in the cream, yet there are a large number of other anti-aging creams on the market which also contain sodium hyluronate. There is nothing to suggest that this cream achieves results that other creams containing sodium hyluronate do not. Until we see the results of standardized controlled tests which show us that this moisturizer is superior to others that contain sodium hyluronate, we’re going to have questions. For example, what is the full ingredient list for this Cosmedicine product? If your doctor recommends this cream to help with the post-surgical healing process, we’d trust that assessment but we need to know a bit more before we can get excited about using Cosmedicine as an anti-wrinkle treatment.

Our top pick for 2008:  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.
