Elemis Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Elemis is a “British luxury spa and skin care brand” that has been around since 1989 and that claims to employ “cutting-edge technology and natural active ingredients” in their anti-aging treatments and spa therapies. The practices of Elemis spa treatments can be spotted in over 1,200 different salons and day spas around the world. Elemis has “three key principles,” and these are: defined by nature, led by science, and a personalized lifestyle prescription. All Elemis products are stated to be free of animal based collagen, mineral oil, alcohol, detergents, silicones and synthetic perfumes. Elemis products are not tested on animals.

The key individuals behind Elemis are Sean Harrington, Noella Gabriel and Oriele Frank. Some of the primary components of Elemis skin care products are natural botanicals, essential oils, organic extracts, medicinal herbs, seaweed extracts (boosts collagen) and natural emulsifiers. Elemis offers numerous “high-end” anti-aging treatments, eye care, lip care, masks, sunscreen, facial cleansers, toners, moisturizers and products for men. The official Elemis website allows consumers from all over the world to shop online. Like many other skin care lines, Elemis aims to assist users with common skin dilemmas such as fine lines, collagen loss, facial sagging, dark circles, age spots, deep facial wrinkles, sun damage and crow’s feet. No customer testimonials are offered via the official Elemis website. Elemis skin care products do not appear to come with a 100% money-back guarantee. However, a convenient “ingredient glossary” is offered online to customers curious about what different active ingredients do.

Product Details

Elemis is a high-end skin care line that markets products to both men and women of all general skin types. This product line endeavors to assist people with routine signs of aging such as wrinkles, sun damage, collagen loss and fine lines. Key ingredients found in all Elemis skin products are natural botanicals, essential oils, organic extracts, medicinal herbs, seaweed extracts (boosts collagen) and natural emulsifiers. Elemis products can be purchased online as well as in certain spas and beauty salons. These skin products do not contain animal based collagen.

The Good

  • All Elemis products can be easily purchased via the official website.
  • Elemis products contain natural moisturizers.
  • Elemis has been around since 1989.

The Bad

  • There are no customer testimonials posted on the Elemis website.
  • Some individuals may be allergic to certain ingredients found in Elemis skin care products.
  • Elemis does not appear to be sold with a 100% money-back guarantee.
  • Elemis products may be a bit pricey for some consumers since they range between $23-$300+.
  • There does not appear to be any real clinical evidence offered on the website to support the effectiveness of Elemis products.

The Bottom Line

In some ways, like the fact that they do not incorporate any animal based collagen, mineral oil, alcohol, detergents, silicones and synthetic perfumes, Elemis skin care products are unique. However, it may raise a few eyebrows that such high-end or pricey skin care treatments are not sold with a money-back guarantee. It’s certainly a good idea to explore all other skin care lines before just choosing one like Elemis. You may find something similar for a much lower price.

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.
