Overview

The NeoStrata company specializes in developing and selling “cosmeceuticals,” which they define as products that blend current medical research with basic cosmetics. NeoStrata wrinkle products are just one of the many product lines available from the manufacturer. These include products formulated to fight skin conditions like acne, athletes foot, chapped lips, eczema, rosacea and more. NeoStrata also produce a line of industrial strength concealer makeup suitable for covering up surgical scarring, bruising and tattoos.

But what about NeoStrata wrinkle products? When it comes to anti-aging creams, NeoStrata wrinkle offers a whole set of products that claim to help users attempt to fight the effects of aging. These NeoStrata wrinkle products include care products like an Evening Restorative Cream and their SkinRise Morning Bionic Tonic and sun protection products like the Essential Multi-Defense SPF 15 Day Fluid and the Essential Multi-Protective SPF 15 Lip Balm. NeoStrata wrinkle products also offer spot treatments for fine eye lines and for the lips. Unfortunately, most of NeoStrata wrinkle’s most potent products are only available with a prescription from a skin care professional. These include the brand’s popular Bionic Face Serum, as well as cleansers and glycolic acid based products.

Product Details

NeoStrata wrinkle Bionic products are the company’s signature offering for the anti-aging market. You will need a physician’s prescription to obtain this product. The NeoStrata Bionic Face Serum was formulated to be a powerful antioxidant and moisturizer. Key active ingredients found in NeoStrata Bionic Face Serum are Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. The prescription strength element is a 10% Lactobionic acid. Product is meant to be applied once daily, after cleansing the face and neck areas.

The full list of ingredient in the NeoStrata Bionic Face Serum is: Aqua (Water), Butylene Glycol, Lactobionic Acid, Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, Arginine, Retinyl (Vitamin A) Palmitate, Tocopheryl (Vitamin E) Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl (Vitamin C) Ascorbate, Polyquaternium-10, Disodium EDTA, Chlorphenesin, Methylparaben.

Unfortunately, we notice that the product contains a paraben preservative. Parabens have been linked to contact dermatitis in users with sensitive skin. We would also recommend that users make sure to use adequate sun screen or avoid prolonged exposure to heavy sun since some ingredients in this product may make skin more sensitive.

The Good

  • Non-prescription NeoStrata wrinkle products are all available for order online.
  • Full ingredient lists posted to official website for most products.
  • Free gift when you order $25 or more from the official website.

The Bad

  • Some products only available with a physician’s prescription.
  • Brand does not focus on anti-aging products specifically.
  • No free trial sample available.
  • No money-back product guarantee.

The Bottom Line

We’re not sure quite what to say about NeoStrata wrinkle. As a manufacturer, this company is all over the map. If a trustworthy dermatologist recommends a prescription NeoStrata wrinkle product for you, that professional probably knows what they’re talking about. The company’s cosmeceutical approach seems more focused on treating specific skin trouble than the more generalized effects of aging. If aging skin is your main concern, we’d have to recommend looking for a more dedicated skin treatment.

Our top pick for 2008:  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.
