Elene Collagen Capsules Day Cream Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Elene Collagen Capsules Day Cream is a puzzling product. There are dozens of Elene skin care products available through online retailers but there is no apparent English-language website for this French skin care manufacturer. Online retailer websites have very little information presented about the product. It is said to protect the skin from UV rays, moisturize cells with NMF, and leave the skin refined and luminous. There is no description of what NMF is or what is in it, which is something we’d really like to know.

One would expect Elene Collagen Capsules Day Cream to be in capsule form but it appears to be strictly a cream. This might be confusing to consumers. Also, because there is no ingredient list available, it is impossible to determine if this product even contains collagen or whether it contains ingredients to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen. Because the product is not sold through the manufacturer, there is no official money-back guarantee if the product does not work for you or if it induces skin allergies.

Product Details

Collagen is naturally found in skin. It helps keep skin toned and firm. As we age, our ability to produce collagen slows down, so facial skin droops and sags, allowing lines and wrinkles to form. Skin care products with collagen can replenish that natural collagen and stimulate the body’s own collagen production.

It is unknown whether Elene Collagen Capsules Day Cream contains collagen or not, even though the name implies it. The only ingredient listed on the online retailers’ websites that we found is called NMF, but there is no explanation of what that is. Those with skin sensitivities or skin allergies should be cautious of this product until they are able to review a complete ingredient list.

The Good

  • May contain collagen.
  • Available from online retailers.

The Bad

  • May not contain collagen.
  • No full ingredient listing available.
  • No official website apparent.
  • No money-back guarantee offered.

The Bottom Line

Because Elene does not appear to have an English-language website for its products, it is difficult to learn much about the company or the products. Higher-quality skin care developers will dedicate an entire website to their best products and include ingredients, benefits of each ingredient, customer testimonials, before and after pictures, and links to clinical studies showing the effectiveness of the active ingredients and of the product itself. None of that is apparent with Elene and it therefore is almost impossible to trust in the Elene Collagen Capsules Day Cream. Those with skin allergies should choose a product that is labeled non-allergenic. A good approach would be to seek out an anti-wrinkle product with proven ingredients like the peptides Matrixyl 3000 and Argiriline from companies that stand behind their formulations with a money-back guarantee.

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.
