Overview

Guerlain offers several skin care products including cleansers, moisturizers, anti-aging products, and more. Guerlain research claims to “push back the boundaries of anti-aging hydration by constantly enhancing the Super Aqua range with the latest innovations”. Guerlain’s anti-aging products include Happyology Glowing Skin Treatment, Happyology Night Glowing Overnight Treatment, Happyology Ultra-Penetrating Glowing Skin Essence, Success Future Day Care, Success Future Night Care, Success Future Serum, Substantific Day Care, Substantific Day Lotion, Substantific Neck & Decollete Crème, Substantific Night Care, and Substantific Serum. Guerlain’s three lines of anti-aging products are made for three different life stages – from getting your first wrinkles to having very aged, mature skin. Although each line of products is unique, their main purpose is to treat the effects of aging on facial skin to give Guerlain users a more youthful appearance.

Product Details

Happyology anti-aging products are made specifically for those with first time wrinkles and women or men seeking a renewed radiance. These products are made to plump the facial skin and give a smooth, luminous look in order to reduce the appearance of premature aging. Guerlain’s Success anti-aging products are meant for a more mature audience. For those who really need to see results, the Success anti-aging line is meant to soften wrinkles for a more toned look. Guerlain’s Substantific anti-aging product line concentrates on nutrition and density. Substantific products cause the skin to be plumped from within and even out the skin’s complexion.

The Good

  • There are a wide variety of anti-aging products available from Guerlain, for three different life stages.
  • Guerlain has an informative website presence.

The Bad

  • No ingredients for Guerlain’s anti-aging products are listed on their website.
  • There are no customer testimonials or before and after pictures to demonstrate how well Guerlain’s anti-aging products really work.
  • We were unable to find scientific or clinical trial information to prove Guerlain’s products improve the skin or reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

The Bottom Line

If you are in the market for anti-aging products, it is safer to purchase products that have their ingredient list readily available. Guerlain’s products do not even list the key or active ingredients on their own website. Without knowing what ingredients are in these anti-aging products, we are unable to say whether or not they work. The website lacks customer testimonials and before and after photos, as well. It appears that you can not directly purchase products from the official website for Guerlain, so if you do want to purchase their products, you have to seek them out elsewhere. Guerlain products are sold at retail outlets such as Sephora, but they are quite expensive in comparison to other anti-aging products. The product ingredients are available on other retailer’s websites, but they are difficult to locate.

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.
