Issima Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The anti-aging skin care treatment kit named Issima is manufactured by the well-known beauty brand Guerlain. Those who sell Issima online tell us that it is an exclusive and innovative beauty treatment for the eyes and the face, which will improve the appearance of wrinkles and also improve the appearance of your complexion, making it more radiant and youthful. Issima is, in fact, a skin care program which is designed to be used over a period of eight weeks in order to see best possible results.

The Product Details

Those selling Issima by Guerlain online tell us that this anti-aging treatment consists of a three stage program. We are told that the products in stage one of the program are designed to prepare the skin for an intensive retinol treatment, and that this treatment makes up stage two of the program. We are told that stage two of the program consists of a retinol treatment which will smooth out wrinkles. Stage three of the Issima anti-aging program consists of a more intensive retinol treatment to be used in conjunction with eye contour patches. The Issima anti-aging kit is sold at a price of $230. Evidently it is extremely expensive and will not be within everyone’s budget.

Issima is not, however, the only anti-aging product on the market which contains retinol as a main active ingredient. Unfortunately those selling Issima on line do not give any information as to what makes it more effective or superior to other retinol based treatments for sale. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and we know that too much Vitamin A can be dangerous for those who have any kind of liver disorder or are pregnant. We would therefore not recommend the Issima anti-aging kit for those who are pregnant or have any kind of liver problem.

The Good

  • We know that Retinol can have a positive effect on wrinkles.
  • Issima can be ordered directly online.
  • Issima is manufactured by Guerlain, which is a long established brand with a good reputation.

The Bad

  • Issima is extremely expensive to purchase.
  • Some people experience side effects with products containing Retinol, such as skin peeling, and itching.
  • Anti-aging products containing Retinol are not suitable for those who are pregnant or who have any kind of liver disease.
  • We are not told what makes Issima more effective than other anti-aging products which contain Retinol.

The Bottom Line

Although many people may be tempted by Issima because it is manufactured by Guerlain, the price certainly makes it exclusive and outside of many women’s budget range. We are not convinced, however, that it is superior to other anti-aging treatments which contain Retinol and therefore cannot choose it over and above other Retinol based treatments.

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.
