Neal's Yard Remedies Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The company, Neal’s Yard, has been in operation since 1981. They are located in Europe and have a vision of bringing the expertise of the apothecary and a holistic approach to health and beauty to a broader skin care clientele. Neal’s Yard offers a variety of natural ingredients which enable their customers to make their own products such as facial creams, lotions, hair care, and many more. The official website for Neal’s Yard also provides instructions on which specific ingredients to buy in order to gain the desired goals that you may be looking for.

Product Details

Some of the ingredients which are sold through Neal’s Yard are Citric Acid and Lanolin, both of which are used to help moisturize the skin and hair. Additionally, you can purchase a variety of herbal ingredients such as Allantoin which is supposed to help to stimulate new tissue growth and Lavender which is a soothing and calming herb that is said to be beneficial for delicate and sensitive skin. There are also base oils in many of the products, such as Avocado Oil, which Neal’s Yard claims absorbs easily into the skin and is used to help draw other ingredients into the skin. Neal’s Yard also offers many different flower essences in their products which promise to calm and soothe the body and mind.

The Good

  • Neal’s Yard website educates consumers on the uses of its products and ingredients.
  • Neal’s Yard offers natural and organic ingredients and products for aromatherapy, homeopathy, herbal remedies, and flower remedies which are easily purchased through a list of online retailers.

The Bad

  • Neal’s Yard Remedies does not offer specific products or ingredients which are geared towards consumers in the market for anti-aging products.
  • The website for Neal’s Yard products is not easy to navigate, especially for those who are not computer or internet savvy.
  • Consumers can not purchase the products directly from the Neal’s Yard website. Instead, they must go to another online retailer to complete a purchase.

The Bottom Line

The products and ingredients offered by Neal’s Yard will likely appeal to consumers who want to “go green” or use all natural products. It is good that the website for Neal’s Yard educates consumers about its products and ingredients. It would be better if the products could be purchased directly from the manufacturer’s website instead of various online retailers. Sometimes it can be dangerous for uneducated consumers to start mixing their own ingredients for use on the skin because the end product could certainly cause irritation or allergic reactions if they are not extremely cautions. Some things are better left to the professionals. Neal’s Yard Remedies do not include a focus on anti-aging products so certain consumers should look elsewhere for more advanced skin care products.

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.
