Overview
L’Oreal is a huge company that is well known in the beauty industry. They specialize in everything from hair care to skin care. L’Oreal is comparable to brands such as Lancome, only much more affordable. In this review we will use the information that is available to us about L’Oreal Collagen Remodeler, one of the brand’s anti-aging offerings, so that we can review this it in hopes of determining whether or not this particular product could be a useful ant-aging product.
Product Details
L'Oreal Collagen Remodeler appears to be what we will call "step 4" of a 4 part skin care regimen that is promoted as anti-wrinkle agent that was developed by L'Oreal. The source says the products that are in this recommended Regimen are: Step 1: L'Oreal Cleanser and Toner. Step 2: Collagen Filler for targeted wrinkle reduction. Step 3: Collagen Filler Eye Illuminator to reduce dark circles and under-eye hollows. Step 4: AM: Collagen Remodeler Day SPF 15. PM: Collagen Remodeler Night.
The L'Oreal Collagen Remodeler is said to contain something they call "Collagen Bio-activator". It is said that this ingredient is a natural alfalfa extract that can biologically stimulate the Collagen fibers within the skin. This statement is based on in-vitro testing only. It is supposed to help replenish fullness to skin that has decreased in Collagen production. It is said that "Collagen Biospheres" are absorbed past the surface of the skin, then they fill out, making the skin appear smoother and softer. Not much information was found about the Alfalfa extract, but when researching other products that included this ingredient, good consumer reviews were found in relation to it. The source also states that there have been clinical studies done on this product that appear to have been conducted by the company itself. It states that during a 4 week trial that 83% of women began to see more defined facial features 90% of the women that used this product saw more fullness in their face. It also states that L’Oreal Collagen Remodeler has been dermatologist tested for gentleness.
The Good
- Affordable prices.
- Has some proof to back it up.
- L’Oreal Collagen Remodler is widely available.
The Bad
- Scientific proof is based on in-vitro studies only.
- Not much information was found about the Alfalfa extract or "Collagen Bioactivator.
- Does not appear to contain any patented ingredients.
- Complete list of ingredients for L’Oreal Collagen Remodler not provided.
- Only see best results when used as part of a L’Oreal product set.
The Bottom Line
It is refreshing to see a product that has found the time to research and provide proof about their own product. However, some may think of the test results as being inconclusive. This is due to the fact that there appear to be no patented ingredients in L’Oreal Collagen Remodler, and the scientific proof that provided was based on in-vitro testing only, and not on humans. Another thing is that it seems to be most functional when used within the listed regimen, which includes several other L’Oreal brand products. Some women may find it inconvenient and time consuming in their all too busy lives to have to follow such a strict sounding regimen. A lot of people believe that a good effective product should be able to stand on its own and not have to rely on other products for a boost.
