Maki Yaz Review

Updated On:

Overview

Maki Yaz is a line of mineral cosmetics infused with botanicals that supposedly cover up blemishes and fine lines, and according to them, they do it very well -- and very fast. Each product is fragrance and oil free, and contains a variety of products ranging from blushes to mineral foundations, designed for all skin types. They state that these ingredients allow the products to work with the skin, not against it, and also add a subtle glow to the skin. This obviously does not offer any permanent results, but may interest consumers who just want to cover up simple skin issues.

Currently there is little information available about their products and no Maki Yaz product lists could be obtained at the time of this review. They do not specifically list what ingredients are used in any of their products. A price range could not be located either, but the products are apparently available in salons in New York. These are definitely not good signs, but mineral cosmetics are considered to be the best in the world -- and perhaps Maki Yaz provides a supreme formulation. However, it is difficult to guarantee anything without even a hint regarding what is contained in their products.

Product Details

According to Maki Yaz, their cosmetics are infused with botanicals which nourish the skin while offering complete coverage. They do not list what sort of botanicals are used, and it is important to note that not all botanicals may provide a positive effect. It is impossible to say how Maki Yaz works to nourish the skin, and consumers should proceed with caution – not listing full ingredient information can be a sign of a defective or unreliable product.

Maki Yaz does provide many types of foundations for all different skin types, which is probably the only advantage here. Consumers can select from a wide variety of products that suit their needs. It is unknown what sort of minerals Maki Yaz utilizes in its products.

The Good

  • Provides many types of products designed for different skin types.
  • Official website allows consumers to easily purchase their products.

The Bad

  • Does not specifically list how their products will camouflage wrinkles and even out skin tone.
  • A full ingredient list could not be obtained.
  • Appears to be another mineral foundation offering that doesn’t really provide consumers anything new.

The Bottom Line

Mineral foundations are quickly becoming a popular fix, and studies have demonstrated their masking ability. Maki Yaz simply does not offer anything new concerning their mineral foundations, and some consumers may want to stick with trustworthy brands instead. Maki Yaz would be more appealing if it released information about the botanicals used – this is the only unique aspect of this skincare line and the information would certainly interest consumers.

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.
