Lierac Hydra-Chrono Review

 Updated On:

Overview

There have been claims made that Lierac is the leader when it comes to restoring skin elasticity. It was created about 30 years ago by a French doctor who goes by the name of Dr. Cariel. This line of products are especially aimed at aging women who want to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on their face and around their eyes. The products are said to be mainly formulated form botanicals and plant extracts. In this review we will try to use the information that is provided to us in order to determine whether or not this product could possibly be as effective as it is promised.

Product Details

The main purpose of the Lierac Hydra-Chronal product as far as the anti-aging line goes, is to restore the essential moisture that is needed in order to decrease the wrinkles and fine lines that appear on the face. This is because as we age, our skin loses the ability to retain moisture which causes damage to skin cells. This can aid in the production of wrinkles.

As stated above, the Lierac Company says that they make their products mainly out of botanicals and plant extracts. Here is a list of the ingredients that was provided on one of the websites for Lierac Hydra-Chrono: Water (Aqua), Hydrolyzed Sweet Almond Protein, Glycerin , Urea, Glycine, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Potassium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Betaine, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Hexyldecanol, Hexyldecyl Laurate, Butyrospermum Parkii , Stearic Acid, Porphyridium Cruentum Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG 100 Stearate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, Polyacrylamide, C13 14 Isoparaffin, Laureth 7, PEG 20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl 3 Beeswax, Tocopherol, Tromethamine, Propylene Glycol, Fragrance (Parfum), Phenoxyethanol (Preservative), Methylparaben (Preservative), Propylparaben (Preservative), Butylparaben (Preservative), Ethylparaben (Preservative), Isobutylparaben (Preservative), Red 4 (CI 14700), Red 33 (CI 17200). All of the above listed ingredients, unless stated otherwise, appear to be extracted from its botanical origin, according to the official website.

Lierac Hydra-Chrono seems to contain several ingredients that can help with restoring moisture to the skin. However, it does not also combine any proven anti aging ingredients into the makeup of this product, but it is sold in the anti-aging department on the website. It is believed that the intention of this product is to be used as a moisturizer in combination with other products in order to achieve maximum results.

The Good

  • Lierac Hydra-Control could be used as a great moisturizer.
  • Available online for purchase.
  • Appears to contain all natural ingredients and botanicals.

The Bad

  • Appears to be needed to be used within a regimen
  • Can become expensive
  • Appears to have no clinically proven ingredients

The Bottom Line

Although Lierac Hydra-Chrono is included into the anti-aging line of the Lierac Company, it appears to lack certain ingredients that could be essential in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Products tend to get very expensive when they have to be bought in a regimen, and some women may think of it as an inconvenience because it is usually time consuming to have to use an entire regimen. One more thing that raises concern is the Almond Oil, because this could be bad for people with nut allergies. Although Lierac Hydra-Chrono shows great potential for being a moisturizer, if used by itself it shows no promise of being an effective anti-wrinkle agent.
