Fresh Elixir Anciene Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The Fresh company makes and sells several skin and body care products, hair care products, soaps, fragrances, and even products for men. Fresh has been in business since 1991. Fresh Elixir Ancien is based on the old tradition of oil therapy. The formula contains “precious oils” which are claimed to offer consumers enhanced cell regeneration, toning, plumping, and firming of the skin, and the product also claims to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

Product Details

Fresh Elixir Ancien includes the following ingredients: Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Hippophae, Rhamnoides Oil, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil, Commiphora Myrrha Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis, (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Propylene Glycol, Propyl, Gallate, and Citric Acid.

The active ingredients in Fresh Elixir Ancien work in the following ways: Seabuckthorn oil is a powerful antioxidant that is enriched with high amounts of omega 7 fatty acids. This is said to enhance cell regeneration of the skin. Amino acids which are derived from palm trees and biotechnology are used to firm the skin while also lifting and toning. The Comminphora Extract is a resin that Fresh claims has “age-reversing properties” that will plump the skin immediately to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

The Good

  • Customers get free shipping on orders over $50.00 from Fresh, which means the Elixir Ancien gets free shipping even if it is the only product ordered.
  • Customers get three free product samples with every order from Fresh.

The Bad

  • This product is too expensive for the average consumer at $250.00 for a very small container of the elixir.
  • Fresh does not provide information about clinical trials and scientific data which would substantiate claims of Elixir Ancien’s effectiveness in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Fresh Elixir Ancien does not contain the most effective anti-aging ingredients such as Matrixyl-3000, Argireline, and Hyaluronic Acid.

The Bottom Line

Fresh is a fairly unknown brand within the skin care industry and certainly does not have as big of a reputation as some of its competitors who also offer anti-aging products. Because Fresh Ancien Elixir is so expensive, consumers will be looking for proof that the product works. Unfortunately, Fresh does not provide customer testimonials or before & after photos to demonstrate product effectiveness. At the time of this review, we could also not find information on Fresh’s clinical trials performed to develop Elixir Ancien. As opposed to “precious oils”, most consumers are looking for products with proven ingredients which will improve the look of lines and wrinkles on the skin. Fortunately, Fresh does offer a fifteen day return and refund policy if you purchase Elixir Ancien through the company’s official website, but not if you get a hold of it from a third-party web vendor.

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.
