Overview
The Coup d'Eclat Instant Lifting Ampoules is a rejuvenating serum intended to focus on improving the skin's ability to retain moisture, as well as exfoliating the skin. This should help to remove the signs of ageing, such as blemishes, wrinkles and fine lines. However, many products claim to do the same, so it's necessary to get as much information as possible before making a decision on whether to rely on Coup d’Eclat for its anti-ageing abilities.
The best skin care products have certain ingredients that have been proven effective. It’s important to know what these ingredients are, and whether a particular skin care product contains them.
Product Details
Coup d'Eclat Ampoules has a website on which are listed all of the ingredients used. It contains: Aqua (Water), Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Fagus Sylvatica Extract, Sorbitol, Panthenol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, PEG-36 Castor Oil, Parfum, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, D-Limonene, Iso Eugenol, Eugenol, Alpha Methylionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool and Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehde. Generally, it's recommended that it be used once per day, and it is claimed to be a safe, pH-balanced formula.
Even though there are a few appealing ingredients like wheat protein, it looks like some critical ones are missing from Coup d’Eclat Ampoules. There is no mention of any collagen stimulant or Matrixyl 3000, nor is there hyaluronic acid. This product, as is, could be potentially effective in the short-term, but not long-term. The inclusion of the cheap preservatives known as parabens is especially unfortunate, since these are known to irritate some sensitive skin types. For any quality anti-aging treatment, it's necessary to have an ingredient that really keeps the skin supple and moisturized. This makes it harder for wrinkles to form, because the skin is supple enough to hold tightly to the muscle and underlying fat.
The Good
- The Coup d'Eclat Ampoules product seems to be priced low, at around $25. This is about half the rate we've seen on some products.
- It's very easy to order through the website, because the company has set up a fully functioning online shopping system. Another good thing about buying from this company is that buying in bulk, or multiple orders, can result in a discounted rate.
The Bad
- Although the website is fully up and running, there are no user testimonials at the time of this writing. We can't determine how effective past users have found Coup d'Eclat Ampoules to be for anti-ageing.
- Some of the most important skin care ingredients, such as Matrixyl, aren't present as per the ingredients list above.
- We could also find no refund policy. Although the products don't cost that much, it's still better to have a money-back guarantee in case the products don't work.
- Coup d’Eclat Ampoules contains potentially irritating paraben preservatives.
The Bottom Line
We do appreciate the fact of the website existing with a full listing of ingredients, and the low prices of the product, but the lack of proven ingredients, as well as the lack of testimonials, makes us doubt the effectiveness of Coup d’Eclat Ampoules. It's possibly effective for short-term treatment, but in the long term, we have our doubts. It would be better to have a refund policy as well, to reassure customers that their money would not be wasted.
