Nexiderm-SP Review

On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview

Nexiderm-SP is a wrinkle fighting cream developed and manufactured by the Boehm-Ritter company based out of California. Nexiderm-SP is a peptide based skin treatment, meaning that it claims to alter the composition of your skin. Nexiderm-SP makes use of one of the major ingredients available for this purpose, Matrixyl 3000. This ingredient is manufactured in a third party European lab, belying the companies “made in the USA” stamp. Matrixyl 3000 is a well-researched molecule that has been shown to promote you skin’s natural collagen production, resulting in plumper, younger looking skin. The active peptide in Matrixyl 3000 itself is referred to as micro-collagen. However, this is still a new technology and no long term effects have really been researched.

Unfortunately, a little poking around the internet reveals that the makers of Nexiderm-SP may not practice the most honest business methods, and there are several complaints posted about them to consumer watchdog bulletin boards. Most complain about a dishonest return policy or never receiving the product after paying for it. A document posted by the ESRP (Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program) states that attempts to reach the manufacturer on behalf of dissatisfied customers were futile.

Product Details

The Nexiderm-SP cream is meant to be used twice daily. Apply to cleansed facial and neck skin using gentle, upward motions. As mentioned above, the key ingredient in Nexiderm-SP is the Matrixyl 3000 molecule, which has been shown to promote collagen growth in several studies. There are numerous skin care products that make use of this third party, patented ingredient. Unfortunately, Nexiderm-SP does not provide a full list of ingredients for this product, making it very hard to give a full analysis of the potential side effects. Users with sensitive skin should apply the product to a small area of the skin in order to make sure that they don’t suffer from an allergic reaction to any product ingredients.

The official product website does point out that Nexiderm-SP’s effects benefit from a user’s healthy lifestyle. This means that, for optimal results, excessive consumption of alcohol or smoking are both discouraged.

The Good

  • Product is available for order on-line.
  • Product promotes the skin’s own collagen production.
  • Official website offers a discount for multiple product orders.

The Bad

  • It seems that multiple consumer complaints have been filed against this product manufacturer.
  • No full ingredient list posted on official website.
  • At $84.00 per jar, this is one of the more expensive anti-wrinkle treatments on the market today.
  • No money back guarantee seems to be available from manufacturer.

The Bottom Line

It would be very hard for us to recommend Nexiderm-SP. Obviously, the numerous consumer complains on record are a red flag for anyone looking into purchasing this anti-wrinkle cream. The fact that the manufacturer also fails to provide a full list of product ingredients only furthers this initial perception. There are plenty of other anti-aging treatments besides Nexiderm-SP that feature Matryxil 3000 as a key active ingredient, and we have no other info about what this product really has going for it. Keep looking for a product that offers some more clinical development info, or at least a product that has a clean consumer complaints record.

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.
