Overview

Esthederm is a skin care line developed by Institut Esthederm out of Paris, France. This company appears to offer a wide array of skin care treatments for women. However, the website appears to be only in French. Esthederm products are claimed to “re-educate the skin,” but in an eco-friendly manner. All Esthederm skin products appear to be sold through the official website, but only to those who speak French. These products are additionally available in select salons and spas in Europe. There does not appear to be any customer testimonials posted on the official product website.

The main focus of Esthederm skin treatments, like numerous other brands, is anti-aging. This brand offers several face creams, moisturizers and serums that aim to improve the overall texture of facial skin, while reducing fine lines, age spots and wrinkles. A few of the Esthederm skin products are called Time defense Fluid, Ultimate Lift Serum, Eye Contour Gel Cream, Resculpt Night Cream and Resculpt Day Cream. The Esthederm skin care line does not appear to promote any specific active ingredients, but does state that their day and night Resculpt creams are “enriched with light reflectors.” Unfortunately there does not appear to be any 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered with Esthederm products. No free trial samples of Esthederm skin products are offered online.

Product Details

Esthederm is basically a French skin care line that’s geared toward middle-aged/aging women. These treatments endeavor to re-educate the facial skin and help it to look younger, firmer and more radiant. There do not appear to be any exclusive active ingredients listed for Esthederm skin products; however, the Resculpt creams they offer are stated to contain light reflectors. Esthederm skin treatments are available in select spas and salons throughout Europe. There is no 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered with the Esthederm skin care line.

The Good

  • Esthederm skin products aim to re-educate the skin.
  • Esthederm products are claimed to work harmoniously with the skin’s eco-system.
  • Esthederm skin treatments are available in salons and spas.

The Bad

  • The official Esthederm website appears to only be published in French, which may make it difficult for consumers located in other regions.
  • There does not appear to be any real clinical research offered on the official website to really support the effectiveness of Esthederm skin products.
  • There are no free trial samples of Esthederm skin care products available through the official website.
  • Some ingredients found in Esthederm skin treatments may not be suitable for some individuals.
  • There is no 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered on the Esthederm website.
  • Esthederm does not seem to talk about any active ingredients (for the skin products) on their website.
  • It may be difficult for some individuals to actually find and purchase Esthederm products since the website is all in French and the products are not offered at any American retail locations.

The Bottom Line

When all is said and done, Esthederm skin products appear to be fairly similar to many other skin care brands. They’re packaged well and claim to assist with the skin’s aging process (or so we gathered from other English websites that sell this line). However, it’s truly difficult to determine how effective these skin products are when the official website does not cater to those who don’t speak French. Furthermore, there doesn’t appear to be any kind of product guarantee offered with Esthederm skin products, and even obtaining these products could be quite difficult.

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.
