Reti C Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Reti C is manufactured by a company called Vichy. Vichy offers several skin care products, including Reti C, which is an anti-aging product that is marketed to reduce wrinkles and protect the facial skin from environmental pollutants. The product contains Pure Retinol and Pure Vitamin C and claims to also correct uneven skin tone and provide sun protection. Vichy claims that consumers will see a more radiant skin tone after just fifteen days of use and an improvement in fine lines and sun damage after just twenty-eight days of use.

Product Details

Unfortunately, a complete list of ingredients is not provided by the manufacturer of Reti C. The website only discloses that the product’s key ingredients are Pure Retinol and Pure Vitamin C. These are both known to work as anti-aging agents and are found very commonly in other anti-wrinkle treatments on the market. It would be better if the full list of ingredients were disclosed, as we are unable to determine if the product is safe for all skin types. The Reti C product does not apparently contain the most sought after anti-aging ingredients on the market today including collagen, Matrixyl 3000, Hyaluronic Acid, and Argireline.

The Good

  • The product contains Retinol and Vitamin C.
  • Vichy posts a bit of information about the results of clinical tests including how long it takes to see noticeable results.

The Bad

  • The full list of ingredients for Reti C is not posted online.
  • Customer testimonials are not available on the manufacturer’s website.
  • Before and after photos are not available to demonstrate the product’s effectiveness.
  • The product does not offer a free trial or a money back guarantee.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that Reti C is made by a reputable company and appears to contain ingredients that will benefit the skin. The product is a little expensive at about $31.00 for just 30 ml of cream. There are favorable reviews of this product on alternate websites, but without before and after photos we can not verify how well the product actually works. Consumers who are in the market for an effective anti-wrinkle treatment would be better off seeking a product that contains fresh collagen, Matrixyl 3000, Hyaluronic Acid, and Argireline for best results. If not, then consumers should at least purchase a product that offers a money back guarantee, as anti-wrinkle treatments do not come cheaply. It would also be better if Vichy would post a link to actual scientific research from the product’s development trials that prove that Reti C works. Consumers tend to trust manufactures who disclose the most information, especially a complete list of ingredients. It is concerning that this information is unavailable from Vichy.

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.
