Overview

Preventin-AT is an “Advanced Wrinkle Therapy.” This product endeavors to significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, laugh lines, facial sagging and deep wrinkles.

The Preventin-AT formula is meant to be applied to the user’s face up to three times daily where fine lines, facial discoloration and wrinkles are found. This product is applied prior to any additional moisturizers or makeup. Supposedly after the initial application, users will notice a difference in the facial skin’s appearance and overall texture. Some key main ingredients found in Preventin-AT are Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 “Argireline” (relaxes facial muscles to assist in wrinkle reduction), Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben and Cucumber extract (anti-inflammatory component). While Preventin-AT does not appear to have an official website, its products are offered via other cosmetic and drugstore websites for $29.99. This product is primarily geared toward middle aged/aging women, and aims to even skin tone, reduce fine lines and minimize facial wrinkles.

The Bottom Line

There are certainly ample “anti-wrinkle” treatments gracing the skin care market these days. While Preventin-AT makes claims to reduce facial wrinkles, even skin tone and improve overall skin texture, even after only one application, this product seems to lack any substantial clinical proof. Additionally, Preventin-AT may raise a few eyebrows considering some of its inclusion of ingredients like Butylene Glycol. Unfortunately with no money-back guarantee offered where Preventin-AT is sold, consumers won’t be able to get a refund if they decide this product is not suitable for their skin.

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.
