Overview
Marilyn Miglin is the founder of the Marilyn Miglin skincare line, and she has based her line on nearly 40 years of experience in the beauty industry. A former model, Marilyn Miglin currently offers her own formulated skincare products to shopping giant HSN, and also sells it publicly through her official website. Although she is mostly famous for her pheromone perfumes, her skincare line is steadily becoming just as popular, and testimonials from HSN customers are nothing less than spectacular.
Unlike other skincare lines, Marilyn Miglin focuses on combining natural chemicals with vitamin C to provide a truly unique product. She claims all of her products will zap wrinkles and imperfections in an instant, and that the combination of vitamins will leave skin velvety soft. Her skincare line is slightly expensive -- expect to dish out $30 to $50 per bottle -- but her popularity proves that this is not a big concern among consumers. Like most HSN products, however, they may not always perform like the ads promise it will. For Marilyn Miglin, it appears it might suffer from this same mail-order curse, thanks to the lack of natural ingredients and the inability to back up her claims.
Thankfully for consumers, though, Marilyn Miglin offers a generous money back guarantee and, depending on where you shop, smaller samples can be purchased.
Product Details
Browsing through Marilyn Miglin's products shows one commonality: the use of vitamin C. She claims vitamin C is a cure-all for all skin types, making skin soft, supple, and rejuvenated. According to Miglin, it also eliminates fine lines and wrinkles simply by applying it to your face. Although she does not explain how she came about this information, other scientific sources say otherwise. Vitamin C helps fight wrinkles and fine lines, but it must be used in the proper form to work – and topical cream form has not proven adequate. According to several studies, vitamin C loses its potency when exposed to air and is best in food form. By exposing it to air, it loses its wrinkle-fighting power and actually becomes harmful. Oxidized vitamin C increases the incidence of free radicals, particles that increase cell damage, which in turn increases the risk of cancer. This is obviously not a good thing for consumers, but not all is bad -- other vitamins included in her products, including vitamin E, are more potent in cream form.
The Good
- Contains Vitamin E.
- Numerous testimonials claim her products really do eliminate wrinkles.
The Bad
- Contains oxidized vitamin C, which is potentially dangerous to consumers.
- Is moderately expensive.
- Does not offer any alternatives for men.
The Bottom Line
The emphasis on vitamins is refreshing, but it appears that Marilyn Miglin is emphasizing the wrong vitamins. There is no doubt her products have potential for making skin healthy and youthful, and consumers should not eliminate this skin care line from their options. Still, it would be helpful if Marilyn Miglin tried a different formulation with more proven, topical ingredients.
