Overview

NIA 24 (Niacin-Powered Skin Therapy) is a “skin-strengthening complex.” This skin treatment is manufactured by NIAdyne and endeavors to treat aging complexions. NIA 24 is marketed primarily toward women and claims to assist with fine lines and facial wrinkles. The official website calls it “invisible armor” for the skin that will provide 24-hour protection from the elements that commonly lead to the signs of aging. Unfortunately the NIA 24 website is not functional at this time, other than the home page. NIA 24 sells for $85 online for a 1.7 ounce tube.

Some of the key active ingredients found in NIA 24 are Dimethicone (works to moisturize), Green Tea (calms skin), Retinol or Vitamin A (assists with the skin’s firmness, texture and elasticity) and Hyaluronic Acid (helps smooth wrinkles). NIA 24 is directed to be used at night and in the morning in order to battle fine lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles. This skin treatment is also claimed to improve age spots and the overall tone of the user’s complexion. While NIA 24 does not appear to be offered with a 100% money-back guarantee, it looks as though some customer testimonials are available on the official website, although they were not accessible at the time of this writing. A full ingredient list for NIA 24 is offered on websites that sell the skin product.

The Good

  • NIA 24 treatment cream is readily available for purchase online.
  • NIA 24 contains some natural ingredients and moisturizers.
  • NIA 24 comes in an easy-to-apply cream form.

The Bad

  • The official website for NIA 24 is not functional at this time.
  • NIA 24 contains parabens, a type of synthetic preservative that has been shown to irritate the skin of some users.
  • There does not appear to be a 100% money-back/satisfaction guarantee offered with NIA 24.
  • Some ingredients found in NIA 24 may not be suitable for some individuals.
  • There are no free trial samples of NIA 24 offered online.
  • NIA 24 sells for $85 for a 1.7-ounce tube, which may be a tad pricey for some individuals.

The Bottom Line

In the vast market of anti-aging products, NIA 24 does not really stand out as being exceptional. While this product does make some attractive promises, it’s difficult to determine whether or not NIA 24 will live up to the hype. More than likely more women would give NIA 24 a shot if it came with a money-back guarantee. Furthermore, it would be reassuring to see the official website up and running.

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.
