Overview

Idebenol in an anti-wrinkle “potion” formulated and developed by Sovage Dermatologic Laboratories. This product claims to work cosmetic wonders such as “a woman in her 60s can suddenly match the skin renewal rate of a woman in her 20s.” So Idebenol basically aims to assist in rapid skin cell reproduction. This “wonder” cream additionally targets free radicals, which generally lead to the destruction of skin cells, hence causing fine lines and wrinkles. Therefore since Idebenol is a “free radical killer,” it aims to rid your skin of harmful free radicals and other pollutants. Like many of today’s anti-aging formulas, Idebenol was developed as an alternative to proven procedures like Botox.

The fairly young anti-aging serum, Idebenol, was created to deal with common aging burdens such as crow’s feet, fine lines, skin firming, skin elasticity and deep facial wrinkles. Although Dr. B. Grant Bishop M.D. claims that Idebenol requires more testing in the medical/dermatological field, he did request a tube of Idebenol for personal use. In short, this “miracle wrinkle cure” is advertised as an anti-aging solution to a number of redundant aging issues that most people face at some point in their lives. A single 3.4-ounce tube costs $109. This facial treatment claims to be 100% Idebenone-free.

The Good

  • The official website offers Idebenol for purchase online.
  • Idebenol is 100 percent Idebenone-free.
  • Idebenol contains moisturizers.
  • A 1-800 number is provided on website.

The Bad

  • The official Idebenol website is laid out like a massive ad.
  • Idebenol costs a whopping $109 for a single 3.4-ounce tube.
  • The product has not been recognized in medical/dermatological circles.
  • Official website only offers one other product, a lip plumper.
  • There are no product studies available to back Idebenol’s cliams.
  • No testimonials are offered via the website.

The Bottom Line

It may seem like a headache to pinpoint and purchase a single anti-aging treatment these days. There are many products like Idebenol currently flooding the skin care market. While the producers of Idebenol make extravagant claims regarding its uniqueness and effectiveness, it’s tough to swallow the fact that it lacks proper product testing. Furthermore, at $109 a pop, Idebenol should at least come with a money-back guarantee.

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.
