Overview

Nivea Q10 is a group of skin care products developed by Nivea, a cosmetic company that dates back to 1911 and was started by Oskar Troplowitz, Isaac Lifschütz (a chemist) and Paul Unna (a dermatologist). The purpose of Nivea Q10 products is to assist users with anti-aging. These treatments consist of an eye zone cream, wrinkle control cream (for nighttime), a revitalizing lotion for men, a body reshaping treatment, a revitalizing eye cream for men, a visage day cream for women and several other “anti-aging” products. Nivea Q10 skin care treatments can commonly be found in any corner drugstore or supermarket.

The Nivea Q10 treatments line incorporates active components such as vitamins and the exclusive Q10 Energy Complex, which aims to assist with common aging concerns like fine lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles and skin hydration. This “advanced” complex is said to contain Coenzyme Q10, an ingredient that’s made up of the anti-wrinkle ingredients found in human skin. The Q10 Energy Complex is claimed to improve your skin’s ability to battle off fine lines, wrinkles and other typical signs of aging, while dealing with the ones you currently have. The Nivea Q10 line is dermatologist tested and endeavors to produce visible results in only four weeks time.

The Good

  • The official Nivea website provides a link to stores that sell Nivea Q10 products.
  • The website offers skin and beauty tips/advice.
  • The Nivea product line has been around since 1911.
  • A FAQ section is available on the official website.

The Bad

  • No Nivea Q10 products are actually for sale through the official website.
  • The Nivea website lacks customer testimonials.
  • There is no 100 percent money-back guarantee found on the website.
  • There is little clinical proof that Nivea Q10 will actually benefit your complexion in regards to wrinkle reduction.
  • Nivea Q10 does not appear to be recommended by any skin professionals and/or dermatologists.

The Bottom Line

There’s no doubt that Nivea products have been around for some time now. With treatments dating back to 1911, other cosmetic brands may have trouble competing with that kind of history. However, in regards to “innovative” technology and fast wrinkle-reducing results, there really is no significant clinical evidence that proves the effectiveness of Nivea Q10 skin care products. While these new-age treatments may benefit some users, others might not experience such stellar results.

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.
