Monteil Firming Action Day Treatment

 Updated On:

Overview

Monteil Firming Action Day Cream is developed and distributed by the Monteil Company. The base for the company appears to be in Paris, France. The Monteil Company has several different types of skincare products, but the one in question today is Firming Action, the product that Monteil promotes primarily for its claimed ability to defy the aging process by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Product Details

The ingredients in the Monteil Firming Action Day Treatment appear to be made up mostly of natural extracts of plants and fruits. Some sources even suggest that there may be Plant Collagen in this product. There are many different types of Collagen, and the effects that Plant Collagen has on your skin does not appear to be established yet. Some experts may believe that Plant Collagen has no effect at all on the human skin cells. It has been speculated that the reason this ingredient came into being used in cosmetics and skincare products is because a popular activist group issued a ban on animal products being used in these types of cosmetic treatments, therefore making the idea of animal Collagen less popular. Because an official Monteil Firming Action website where a list ingredients could be available to the public is not known of at this particular time, it raises a concern about whether or not any allergens or toxins could be used within the making of this product.

The Good

  • Is widely available at a variety of online retailers.
  • Available at a possibly affordable price.

The Bad

  • There does not appear to be an official website to provide more details about the merchandise in question.
  • Unable to locate any risk free trials of Monteil Firming Action Day Cream.
  • No available testimonies at this time clinical studies to back up.
  • No visual aids provided for research purposes of the potential consumer.
  • Unable to locate instructions for the use of this product.
  • No apparent way to check for potential allergens.
  • The product doesn't appear to be made with any patented or well known ingredients that have undergone extensive clinical studies.

The Bottom Line

Even though Monteil promotes this product as being an anti-wrinkle cream that makes skin firmer and tighter, thus improving the elasticity of the skin, there is thought to be a serious lack of evidence available at this time to prove this assumption. The only ingredient that was made available during research was the Plant Collagen. When further investigated, it was found that it is actually believed that Plant Collagen has no effect at all on the condition of the human skin. It was originally thought to be an alternative for animal collagen when products containing the animal collagen were banned. But, once again, there are no known scientific or clinical studies that have been introduced to the public that supports these ideas. Most women may not be keen to the idea of purchasing a product like Monteil Firming Action Day Cream with no risk-free trial period and with such limited information available. Most women also tend seek a product that has been tested, preferably ones with a patented process with available results of clinical studies. This Monteil product appears to offer none of the above.

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. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
