Garnier UltraLift Pro Review

Updated On:

Overview

Typically, the brand Garnier is associated in most people’s minds with hair care. However, they’ve recently entered the anti-aging product market with Garnier UltraLift Pro, a line of topical wrinkle creams. The Garnier UltraLift Pro line has enlisted the face of Sex In the City, Sarah Jessica Parker, as a spokesmodel. The Garnier Ultra Lift Pro line consists of three main products; the Deep Wrinkle Roller, the Deep Wrinkle Cream spf 20, and the Deep Wrinkle Dual Eye Cream.

Ideally, consumers will buy each of these Garnier UltraLift Pro products to assemble a full skin care regimen. The key active ingredient in this line is Pro-Xylane, which we are told is derived from beech trees. Unfortunately, little else is said about Pro-Xylane and we haven’t seen it in any other anti-wrinkle line.

Product Details

The three products that make up the full Garnier UltraLift Pro line are the Wrinkle Roller, the SPF day cream and the Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream. The Garnier UltraLift Pro Wrinkle Roller seems to be the signature product in this line. In addition to delivering active ingredients, this product also claims to administer a therapeutic massage due to the shape of the bottle. It’s worth pointing out that additional Garnier products, such as the Garnier Nutri-Pure cleanser, are recommended in order to achieve optimal results. Meanwhile, the Deep Wrinkle SPF cream claims to restore the skin’s collagen, leading to plumper, more youthful looking skin. This product also protects the user from environment free radicals that could damage skin and lead to future wrinkles. The UltraLift Pro Deep Wrinkle Dual Eye is a specific spot treatment for consumers who are trouble by fine lines around the upper and lower eye areas.

The Good

  • Spokesmodel Sarah Jessica Parker is a familiar face. There are several Garnier UltraLift Pro products to choose form.

The Bad

  • Many Garnier UltraLift Pro products recommended could become expensive and result in a time-consuming product regimen every morning.
  • Company is not necessarily known for their skin care products.
  • Little is said abot the key active ingredient Pro-Xylane.
  • No free product trial seems to be offered.

The Bottom Line

While we are intrigued by the idea of a cream in a bottle that can also deliver a massage while it’s applied, we just haven’t seen enough about the Garnier UltraLift Pro line to justify choosing this wrinkle fighting system. We’ve seen other products with more sophisticated active ingredients and fewer steps and bottles to worry about, and we’d probably select one of these products instead. Garnier UltraLift Pro features a slick celebrity endorser and some nicely designed packaging, but it doesn’t really have much else going for it.

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.
