Dr. Renaud Skincare Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The official website for the Dr Renaud Skin Care range tells us that this range was created at the end of the Second World War by Dr Louis Raymond Renaud. We are told that he was a pioneer of modern cosmetology, and that he particularly studied the role of plants, Vitamin C and collagen in his research into skin care and anti-aging treatments. One of the main anti-aging products in his range is the Collagen Skin Care Cream. The major active ingredients in this product are Marine Collagen and Ginseng.

Product Details

There is a detailed and well constructed website for the Dr Renaud range of products, but the products are not available for purchase directly from the official website. A search engine on the website allows you to locate a beauty salon in France or in the rest of the world where you can purchase products in the Dr Renaud Skin Care range. There are also details given on the website that allow you to contact the Company’s headquarters in Paris, either by telephone or by email.

There are ingredient details given concerning the skin care products in the Dr Renaud range, but unfortunately there are no price details given. This makes it difficult to assess whether the products in the range are competitively priced in relation to products that contain similar ingredients. We are told that the Dr Renaud Collagen Skin Repair Cream is a repairing and rejuvenating treatment that helps to hydrate the upper layers of the epidermis. The major active ingredients in the cream are Marine Collagen and Ginger. We know that, as we age, the body experiences a reduction in the amount of collagen that is produced and this leads to wrinkles as well as sagging of the skin. The Dr Renaud Collagen Skin Repair Cream is, however, not the only anti-aging cream on the market that contains collagen.

The Good

  • The Dr Renaud Skin Care range is a long standing brand with a good reputation.
  • There is a detailed and informative website.
  • There are anti-aging products within the Dr Renaud Skin Care range.

The Bad

  • The official website does not give any price details of products.
  • The skin care products cannot be ordered directly from the official website.
  • The Dr Renaud Collagen Skin Care Cream is not the only product on the market which contains Marine Collagen as a major active ingredient.
  • Those with extreme shellfish allergies could experience allergic reaction to this line due to its inclusion of marine collagen.

The Bottom Line

The Dr Renaud Skin Care brand is a long established brand with a loyal client base. However it is difficult to give an opinion as to whether the products are competitive in terms of price, when there are no price details given for the products. Also, there is no information as to what makes their main anti-aging product more effective than other products that also contain Marine Collagen, much less a comparison to rival products that may contain more sophisticated marine peptides.

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.
