Forever Living Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Forever Living claims to be the largest grower of Aloe Vera and the world’s largest distributor of aloe products. The company offers an array of products including Aloe Drinks, Nutritional Supplements, Bee Products, Skin Care for the face and body, Weight Management, Sonya Cosmetics, Sonya Skincare and Personal Care. The skin care line is quite extensive and includes Alluring Eyes, Alpha E-Factor, R3 Factor, Forever Aloe Scrub, Forever Marine Mask, Forever Epiblanc, Firming Foundation Lotion, Rehydrating Toner, Exfoliating Cleanser, Recovering Night cream, Facial Contour Mask Powder, Aloe Activator, Aloe Eye Makeup Remover and finally Aloe Fleur De Jouvence. Forever Living uses Aloe Vera in most of their products. Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to treat sunburns and other types of burns to the skin, as well as being traditionally used to heal other types of wounds. Experts agree that Aloe Vera, when used alone in its raw state, is best. It seems that once added to a skin care formula, it loses most of its healing benefits besides its anti-inflammatory powers.

Product Details

Clinical studies suggest that Aloe Vera has some anti-inflamatory, anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial benefits but it has not been proven to be very effective in preventing or reversing the signs of aging. Since there are so many products in the line, let’s take a look at one of the items, the Forever Living Firming Foundation Lotion. The claim is that this is a state-of-the-art-lotion and a daily moisturizer that protects against the elements of the sun, wind and environmental damage from pollution. It combines the “science of dermatology” with the “art of cosmetology” to effectively reduce the visible signs of aging by helping to firm the skin and to retexture and tighten the pores, as well as providing a protective layer for under makeup application. In addition to Aloe Vera, the lotion contains special moisturizers and conditioners, as well as Collagen, Elastin, vitamins A, C and E.

The Good

  • Forever Living Skin Care contains Aloe Vera, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
  • The website offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and 30 day return policy.

The Bad

  • No advanced ingredients mentioned on the packing.
  • Forever Living does not fully disclose the ingredients in the line.
  • No customer testimonials.

The Bottom Line

Although the Forever Living Skin Care line offers many products for eyes, face, body and lips, the ingredients listed on the packing are fairly basic. Nothing in the line suggests that any advanced anti-aging properties are included in the formulas. Forever Living Skin Care does use Aloe Vera in their products, which do offer some soothing and healing benefits for the skin. It would be helpful if Forever Living would include customer testimonials on the website to help consumers make a better selection of products. The company does offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee and 30 day return policy for those wishing to try the line.

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.
