Overview

Essential Beauty is a family-owned skin care line that started in Australia back in 1990. This brand name offers two separate lines of products, which are called Skin Solutions (basic cleansers, exfoliants, toners and moisturizers) and L’Ocean (skin care from the sea). These skin care treatments are sold in select salons, but not through the official Essential Beauty website. The salons themselves focus on beauty treatments, piercings, nails and hair removal. There is customer feedback offered on the Essential Beauty website in regards to the products/treatments. Essential Beauty products and salon treatments aim to assist with “rebalancing, skin hydrating, anti-oxidising, detoxifying, healing, soothing, rebalancing, oxygenizing and re-mineralizing.”

The primary ingredients found in Essential Beauty skin care products are Jojoba oil (softens skin), seaweed extract (calms skin), rose oil, Asiatica, Hammamelis extract, sea minerals, Chamomile, Lavender and an “amino acid complex” (natural moisturizer that is claimed to improve the skin’s appearance by increasing blood flow through capillaries). The Essential Beauty line appears to be marketed toward both women and men. They additionally offer an ingrown hair treatment for the body. Like many other skin care brands, the goal of Essential Beauty is to assist with fine lines, sun damage, ingrown hairs, redness, dry skin, crow’s feet, blotchiness and facial wrinkles. There are no free trial samples of Essential Beauty products offered through the official website and no 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee is advertised for Essential Beauty treatments.

Product Details

Essential Beauty is a skin care brand that’s marketed toward women and men that desire assistance with common aging dilemmas like facial wrinkles, hyper pigmentation, acne, sun damage, fine lines and ingrown hairs. These skin care treatments are only sold in select Essential Beauty salons. Some key components of Essential Beauty products are Jojoba oil (softens skin), seaweed extract (calms skin), rose oil, Asiatica, Hammamelis extract, sea minerals, Chamomile, Lavender and an “amino acid complex” (natural moisturizer that is claimed to improve skin’s appearance by increasing blood flow through capillaries). These skin products are not offered with a satisfaction guarantee.

The Good

  • Essential Beauty skin care products contain natural plant extracts and moisturizers.
  • There is some customer feedback provided on the official Essential Beauty website.
  • Essential Beauty offers skin products for both women and men.

The Bad

  • Full Essential Beauty product ingredient lists are absent from the official website.
  • There is not much clinical research provided on the website to support the effectiveness of these skin care products.
  • There are no free trial samples offered through the Essential Beauty website.
  • No Essential Beauty products are actually offered via the website. They must be acquired through a certain salon.
  • There is no 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered with Essential Beauty skin products.
  • Some ingredients found in Essential Beauty products may not be suitable for some individuals.

The Bottom Line

All in all, Essential Beauty skin care treatments do not really seem to stand out amongst the countless other brands currently available. On the bright side, Essential Beauty products do contain several natural components such as seaweed extract and rose oil; however, there does not appear to be any real clinical data provided on the official website to support Essential Beauty treatments. This brand would likely get more attention if they offered a satisfaction guarantee on their official website, or even if they allows potential users to purchase Essential Beauty products online.

Our top pick for 2008:  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.
