Overview
The RX Systems PF is a range of skin care products which includes moisturizers, cleansers and anti aging products. There is an official website for the RX Systems PF range but unfortunately we are not given full and comprehensive ingredient details for individual products. We are told however that the major active ingredients in the RX Systems PF skincare range are retinol and glycolic acid.
Product Details
Certain ingredients in anti aging products are unsuitable for sensitive skin. The anti aging products in the RX Systems PF range which contain retinol and glycolic acid are not suitable for those who suffer from sensitive skin. Glycolic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid. We know that Alpha Hydroxy Acids can cause problems for those who have sensitive skin. This is because Alpha Hydroxy Acid as an ingredient can lead to side effects such as peeling, and stinging of the skin. Alpha Hydroxy Acids also increase sensitivity to dangerous UV rays. So if you do decide to use a product in the RX Systems PF range you will need to shield your skin from exposure to the sun. Retinol is also an ingredient which can cause side effects such as stinging and burning of the skin. Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A, and it is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant or anyone who is suffering from any kind of liver disorder. The fact that we are not given full and comprehensive ingredient details regarding the ingredients in the products in the RX Systems PF range is a minus. In the absence of a full and comprehensive ingredients list we cannot fully assess the potential anti aging capacity of a product.
The Good
- There is a detailed official website for the RX Systems PF range.
- The products can be ordered directly from the official website.
- We are given some ingredient information regarding the products in this range.
The Bad
- The products in the RX Systems PF range are rather expensive to purchase.
- We are not given a full and comprehensive ingredients list for individual products in the RX Systems PF range.
- Retinol and Glycolic Acid are not always suitable for those who have sensitive skin.
- We are presented with no evidence that the products in the RX Systems PF range are superior to other anti aging products which contain similar ingredients.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day we have no evidence that the products in the RX System PF range are superior to other products which contain glycolic acid and retinol as major active ingredients. We cannot therefore recommend the products in this range over and above other similar products.
