Overview:
Jevene products include an anti-wrinkle cream designed for the face as well as an eye cream, both developed and created by by Dr. Santimoy Banerjee PH.D, who is a Harvard trained scientist. These products reportedly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and age spots and penetrate deeply to moisturize the skin. The company advertises the products on its official website as a way to "lose wrinkles without injections."
Jevene prides itself as an alternative to Botox, claiming results that are comparable without side effects, high cost or pain. Jevene's anti-wrinkle line claims to be compatible with all skin types and the company markets its products with a focus on its ability to create smoother and younger looking skin. Jevene was developed as a means to renew the skin; restoring it to a time before wrinkles, age spots or acne scars.
Product Details:
The advanced Jevene promise is reportedly a result of an exclusive 8 in 1 formula that uses special hydroxy acids which can penetrate the skin. These exfoliating acids remove dead skin cells.
Among its other star ingredients, Jevene relies on Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, Retinol and Vitamin E. Retinol is a version of Vitamin A, which serves as an antioxidant. Jojoba Oil is used in many cosmetics, skin care and hair care products because of its softening and moisturizing properties. Aloe Vera is used extensively in other healing and medicinal products to relieve skin irritations and can be applied to sunburns.
All the active ingredients in the Essence of Youth Jar are: Aloe Vera, Aluminum Silicate, Ascorbic Acid, BHT, Cetereth-20, Cetyl Alcohol, DI Water, Dimethicone, EDTA, Emulsifying Wax, Fragrance, Germab EN, Glyceryl Monosterate, Glycolic Acid, Jojoba Oil, Lactic Acid, Mineral Oil, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, PEG-40 Sterate, PPG2 Myristyl Propionate, Salicylic Acid, Selenium, Sodium Borate, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Xanthium Gum
The Good:
- Official Website offers ingredient list for its Essence of Youth wrinkle cream
- Website offers testimonials, customer service and membership program
- Uses skin ingredients in its products with high moisturizing properties
- Website offers sample of eye cream and Essence of Youth face cream
The Bad
- Returns of products must be made at customer's expense
- No before and after photos on website
- $89.95 for one jar of face cream
- No actual scientific evidence for its claims
The Bottom Line
Jevene users may find it difficult to give up Botox in favor of a cream of Essence of Youth. While its formula is filled with hydrating and moisturizing ingredients, it does not contain any components which would dramatically erase wrinkles or clear age spots. Lasers and Botox may be more expensive, but they also would likely deliver results superior to Jevene. The eye and face cream might smooth skin but they can't resurface with ingredients like Aloe Vera and Jojoba.
