Palmer's Review

Updated On:

Overview

As you’ve probably noticed, there are a considerable number of skin care brands now days. The thing is, in this day and age, beauty is a major aspect of life. This doesn’t simply apply to women, but to men as well. One brand of skin and hair treatments that’s been around for over 160 years now is Palmers. You may have encountered one of their lines of treatments, such as Body Care, Complexion Care, Mother & Baby, Hair Care, and Face & Lip Care at some point or another while browsing through routine stores like CVS/Pharmacy, K Mart, Wal-Mart, Walgreens or Rite Aid. This brand is owned by E.T. Browne Drug Company, Inc. and offers products for women and men.

The main categories for Palmers products can be broken down into Cocoa Butter Formula, Olive Butter Formula, Skin Success, Shea Butter Formula, Coconut oil Formula, Hair Success, Organics, Hair Care, and Olive Oil Formula. These different lines aim to treat skin conditions like acne blemishes, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea and hyper pigmentation. Currently Palmers products are infused with active components like Benzoyl Peroxide (combats acne blemishes), Vitamin E (heals and softens skin), Aloe (heals and hydrates), Kojic Dipalmitate, Vitamin C (helps with skin cell turnover), Alpha Hydroxy Fruit Acids (exfoliates dead skin cells), and Bilberry Extract. Similar to most other skin treatment lines, these products are used in conjunction with one another as part of a daily skin care regimen.

Product Details

Palmers is essentially a massive line of skin and hair care products to suit individuals of all races and skin types. Although there is no clinical support presented on the official website for Palmers treatments, descriptions and prices are listed. In fact, any of the Palmers products can be acquired directly through the website with ease. Even though all of these skin and hair care treatments can be purchased from common drugstores and superstores, a 100% money-back guarantee doesn’t appear to be offered with Palmers.

The Good

  • Any of the Palmers skin care and hair care products can be purchased through the website.
  • The major active ingredients found in these treatments are revealed on the website.

The Bad

  • Reviews from Palmers users are not posted on the official website as support for the products.
  • Each treatment is not listed with a full disclosure of product ingredients, which may present a problem for individuals with allergies.
  • There is no reference to a solid satisfaction guarantee with Palmers self care products.
  • No free trial samples are provided.

The Bottom Line

In the end, Palmers is basically an old-school line of beauty treatments geared towards both women and men. Although this company is older than many others, they still seem to incorporate well-known active ingredients to potentially assist users with conditions like acne, wrinkles, dry skin, hyper pigmentation and more. Unfortunately there is no clinical research or testimonials offered on the official website to really back the Palmers line. This may cause some consumers to move on and seek out other beauty 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.
