Overview

Hormeta is a Swiss “organic mineral” skin care brand geared toward women. The product line was started by one Maurice Chaponnie. While Hormeta does seem to place a focus on anti-aging, they also offer skin care treatments for all general skin types. These fall into categories like Normal/Dry, Sensitive/Rosacea, Oily/Acneic/Problematic, Anti-Aging/Anti-Oxidant, Mature, Specialty, Sun and Body. Hormeta aims to produce noticeable results within 30 days of using the skin treatments. There is a “free skin assessment test” offered on the official Hormeta website.

All Hormeta skin care products are claimed to be manufactured in Switzerland. While all Hormeta skin treatments are available through the official website, they are also sold in select spas. Some of the primary active components offered in Hormeta skin treatments are botanical extracts, organic plant extracts, ionized minerals and fruit extracts. These “natural active ingredients” can be found with each individual product description on the website. The goal of Hormeta skin care products is to assist women with common skin concerns like fine lines, blotchiness, crow’s feet, acne blemishes, oily skin, facial wrinkles, dryness, hyper pigmentation, sun damage and irritation. There are some “success stories” posted on the official website. Hormeta products do not appear to be offered with a 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee. No free trial samples of Hormeta skin treatments are available through the website.

Product Details

Hormeta is a line of skin treatments suited for women of all skin types. These products endeavor to assist users with anything from fine lines, to blotchiness, to crow’s feet, to acne blemishes, to oily skin, to deep facial wrinkles, to excessive dryness, to hyper pigmentation, to sun damage, to irritation. A few notable ingredients listed for the Hormeta line are botanical extracts (calm and nourish skin), organic plant extracts and ionized minerals and fruit extracts (exfoliate dead skin cells). Hormeta skin treatments can all be purchased via the official website. However, there are no free trial samples offered at this time.

The Good

  • All Hormeta skin care treatments can be purchased through the official website.
  • Hormeta incorporates organic plant extracts, sea botanicals and fruit extracts into their skin products.
  • There are product success stories posted on the official website.

The Bad

  • There doesn’t appear to be a 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee posted on the official website.
  • There are no free trial samples of Hormeta skin treatments provided through the website.
  • Some ingredients found in Hormeta skin care products may not be suitable for some individuals.
  • Full product ingredient lists are absent from the official website.
  • Some Hormeta skin treatments may prove too pricey for some individuals, such as the Feminissime Serum- High Redefinition, which sells for $230 (30 ml).

The Bottom Line

All in all, Hormeta skin treatments are presented in a rather unique and interesting fashion. On the bright side, these skin care products contain botanical extracts, organic plant extracts, ionized minerals and fruit extracts, which are commonly recommended as potentially beneficial in the fight against wrinkles. However, the fact that the official Hormeta website lacks real clinical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the products, a 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee, free trial samples and full product ingredient lists may raise a few eyebrows.

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.
