Protox Review

Overview

Protox is essentially a wrinkle treatment serum that endeavors to remedy common aging dilemmas such as fine lines, crow's feet, frown lines and deep facial wrinkles. There are three forms of the Protox product, one being Protox 10 (for fine lines and less noticeable wrinkles), Protox 20 (for more mature complexions and severe sun damage) and Protox 3 HTP (the most potent version of Protox available). Like many "anti-aging" products, Protox aims to provide a less severe alternative to harsh cosmetic procedures such as Botox and chemical peels.

Protox treatments incorporate active components like Argireline, which is basically a Hexapeptide (amino acid), Sodium Hyaluronate and seaweed extract. These three primary ingredients claim to smooth out wrinkles, nourish skin, repair and hydrate. Each Protox treatment gel is available for home use and is specifically geared toward a particular age group. While Protox 10 was developed for users from age 20-40, Protox 20 is more for users over 40, and the Protox 3 HTP formula is claimed to be beneficial for those with heavy sun damage and deep wrinkles. Protox is a topical treatment that's meant to be applied morning and night. This "anti-aging" gel claims to produce up to a 50 percent decrease in facial lines, sun damage and wrinkles.

The Good

The Bad

• No functional official website seems to exist for Protox.
• Protox products may contain ingredients that irritate the complexions of some users.
• The cost of Protox appears to range between $90-$115 per bottle, which may be a pricey for the average consumer.
• Protox does not appear to come with a money-back guarantee.
• No free samples of Protox appear to be offered via the web.
• Protox may require the use of a sunscreen during daylight hours, since some ingredients can make skin hypersensitive to sunlight.
• Customer testimonials are absent from websites that sell Protox.

The Bottom Line

Although Protox may provide wrinkle-reducing results for some users, there are a few questions/concerns to address prior to purchasing this "anti-aging" gel that runs $90-115. First of all, Protox does not seem to be dermatologist recommended, nor does this topical treatment come with a money-back guarantee. Naturally some consumers will be disappointed if Protox fails to produce sufficient results. Finally, consumers may be leery of the official Protox website, or actually, the lack thereof. It's questionable who actually made this product and what valid research was done in the creation of Protox.
