DermaSponge Review

Updated On:

Overview

If you’re new to the world of wrinkle reduction creams and face lift serums, you should realize right away that there is plenty to choose from. One of the many anti-wrinkle products is called DermaSponge. This product is literally a sponge that’s used with topical treatments like the DermaRelief Gel, Prep Wash Cleanser, HydraLipid Serum and Protective Day Cream with SPF 15. The goal of these products is to slough away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion. The Deluxe Dermanesse Kit, which includes all four products with the sponges, sells online for $79.95. It’s claimed that these products are $150 if purchased separately.

The official website for DermaSponge discusses how these applicators are infused with “aluminum oxide crystals,” which are also used in professional Microdermabrasion procedures. Naturally these oxide crystals are supposed to work at pulling dead skin cells off of the face which reaveals the younger, clearer skin below. DermaSponge treatments aim to assist users with common skin concerns like acne breakouts, fine lines, dry skin, deep facial creases, sun damage and scarring. Some testimonials are presented on the official website, and a convenient 1-800 number is provided for questions and orders. Although DermaSponge skin care treatments do not appear to be available in common stores, they are available for direct purchase through the website.

Product Details

DermaSponge is one of many “at-home” kits that endeavors to work like professional, spa-administrated Microdermabrasion procedures. At this point a kit involving all four products and the sponges can be attained at a special price of $69.95. Although DermaSponge treatments are primarily geared towards women who suffer from acne breakouts, fine lines, dry skin, deep facial creases, sun damage and/or scarring, they can also be used by men. Some of the key active ingredients found in DermaSponge products are Aloe Vera, Lidocaine, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Eucalyptus Oil, Sandalwood Extract, Lemon Oil, Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract and Vitamin A.

The Good

  • DermaSponge treatments contain some moisturizers.
  • All DermaSponge products can be attained with ease through the official website.
  • There are currently some testimonials offered to support DermaSponge.

The Bad

  • There isn’t a FAQ section located on the official DermaSponge website.
  • All ingredients offered in DermaSponge treatments are not stated.
  • At this point, there is no refund policy clarified for DermaSponge products.
  • DermaSponge treatments may be a tad too rough on some complexions.

The Bottom Line

Although professional skin care treatments are quite popular these days, at-home procedures seem to be even more sought after. This is probably due to the convenience they offer. DermaSponge is a perfect example of this. These skin care products are supposed to offer a spa-level Microdermabrasion result, but without the expenses and hassles of seeing a professional. On the other hand, it’s rather tough to tell if DermaSponge lives up to the claims made. Sadly since this facial treatment kit is not offered with a money-back guarantee, many people may not ever decide to give it a shot. If you’ve experienced professional microdermabrasion and found it beneficial to your skin’s overall health, you may want to consider DermaSponge, although it’s probably not the best product on the market for specifically targeting wrinkles.

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.
