Overview
En Muse Cosmetics produces a line of skin care products including eye creams, moisturizers, cleansers, and toners. The En Muse Anti-Wrinkle Essence is marketed as an all-natural product that contains herbal extracts, botanical proteins and Vitamin C. According to one of the online retailers’ sites, the Anti-Wrinkle Essence reduces irritation and facial lines that are caused by the sun and environmental pollutants. It is said to provide younger, firmer skin and to diminish facial lines.
Unfortunately, we were unable to find an English-language official website for En Muse. This means that there is no indication of a money-back guarantee or of product samples or trial sizes of the products being offered. The online retailers’ sites that we found provide little additional information about En Muse Anti-Wrinkle Essence. There is no apparent official list of ingredients, which is troubling, especially for those consumers who suffer from skin sensitivities or allergies.
Product Details
Other than the description on an online retailer’s website that the En Muse Anti-Wrinkle Essence contains “herbal extracts, botanical proteins and Vitamin C”, there is no other indication of what might be included in the formulation. For example, this means that it is difficult to assess whether the product contains synthetic colors, fragrances or “fillers”. Consumers also do not have the information they need to evaluate the likelihood of En Muse Anti-Wrinkle Essence causing allergic reactions.
Herbal extracts and botanical proteins are included in many skin care products, but the higher-quality and most effective anti-wrinkle products contain collagen and peptides, such as Matrixyl 3000 and Argiriline, which have been proven effective in reducing wrinkles and helping to regenerate the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen. Without more information, the inclusion of Vitamin C is meaningless, since Vitamin C is a very unstable ingredient in solutions unless incorporated in very specific ways.
The Good
- May contain ingredients that may help to moisturize the skin.
The Bad
- No official website is apparent
- No ingredient list is available
- There is no evidence of clinical studies supporting the effectiveness of the product
- There is no available money-back guarantee
- Not labeled as non-allergenic
The Bottom Line
With all of the choices available for those consumers looking for anti-wrinkle and anti-aging products, it is impossible to recommend one like En Muse Anti-Wrinkle Essence, which provides practically no information as to its formulation or effectiveness. Basically, this product is one huge question mark. If you are seeking a product that is proven effective on wrinkles and firming of skin, choose one that contains collagen or peptides such as Matrixyl 3000 or Argiriline. Those who have skin allergies should avoid this product until a full ingredient list can be reviewed to ensure that it does not contain any allergy-inducing ingredients.
