Epidermx II Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Epidermx II is marketed in the United States by Goldport Beauty. It claims to be used by dermatologists, physicians and models to correct acne, rosacea, melasma, and fine lines and wrinkles. It is a microdermabrasion product that sloughs off the upper dead layers of skin. Epidermx II claims that it is natural-based (though not all-natural) and that it is excess preservative-free (not preservative-free).

The Epidermx II website provides a fair amount of explanation regarding the product and its benefits. It also includes some before and after pictures and customer testimonials. Customers can purchase Epidermx II on the website or at other online retailers. The company provides a 30-day money-back guarantee which we always like to see with skin care products.

Product Details

According to the website, the ingredients of Epidermx II are: Purified Aqueous Extract of: Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria (Chamomile) Extract, Sambucus Canadensis (Elder Flowers), Rosa Canina (Rose Hips) Fruit Extract, Equiseturn Arvense (Horsetail) Leaf Extract and Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Extract, Alumina Crystals (Corundum, alpha, medical-grade), Organic Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Organic Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Caprylic Acid, Glycine, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Natural, Xanthan Gum, Rosa Canina (Rose Hips) Fruit Oil, Organic Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Essential Oil Blend: Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Organic Citrus Aurantium Dulcis, (Orange) Oil and Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Lavendula Augustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Cocos Nuciferal (Coconut Extract), Mangifera Indica (Mango Extract), Methyl Paraben, and Propyl Paraben.

The sheer number of ingredients included Epidermx II is concerning. Many high-quality effective anti-aging formulations contain less than half of those ingredients. Some ingredients, like aloe vera and grape seed oil, may provide real moisturizing benefits to the skin, but without knowing how much of each ingredient is included, it is difficult to assess the product’s effectiveness. We are disappointed to see methylparaben and propylparaben amongst the ingredients in Epidermx II. Parabens are cosmetic preservatives that are known allergens. Many high-quality skin care lines exclude parabens because of this. If you suffer from skin allergies or sensitivities, you may wish to be cautious with this product until you know for certain how it will react with your particular skin type.

The Good

  • Contains some natural products that may be effective at moisturizing the skin.
  • Available online.
  • Company offers a money-back guarantee.

The Bad

  • Contains many ingredients, but not proven effective ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid.
  • Contains known allergens (parabens.)
  • No product samples available.

The Bottom Line

There really is nothing in Epidermx II that sets it apart from any of its competitors. There are some natural products in the formulation but perhaps not all are naturally-sourced. The inclusion of parabens makes purchase of this product problematic for those with skin sensitivities, or for consumers concerned about synthetic ingredients. Epidermx II claims to fix almost all skin problems, but the best skin care products target one or two specific issues and use the most effective ingredients that affect that issue. While we like the money-back guarantee, we don’t find any particular strong points in this product when scanning the ingredient list.

Optional – For Enhanced Results: Hydrolyze®

After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people.

The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study.
