SilkSkin Ultra Review

 Updated On:

Overview

SilkSkin Ultra is a set of three enhanced antioxidant formulated skincare products that include a cleanser, a toner, and a moisturizer. These products are available only through a few online retailers at this time. The SilkSkin Ultra products are advertised as a solution for acne prone, stressed and sun damaged skin and as an “advanced, supercharged version” of their SilkSkin Three Minute Beauty System.

Product Details

The SilkSkin Ultra three step process begins with the SilkSkin Ultra Cleanser that claims to be gentle enough for delicate skin and contains Dermachlorella, an active ingredient derived from microalgae used to stimulate the production of collagen. Step two in the process is the SilkSkin Ultra Toner which contains the well-known natural Witch Hazel formula, a natural astringent, combined with algae extracts for anti-aging purposes. Last, but not least, is the SilkSkin Ultra Advanced Moisturizer reinforced with Alpha Hydroxy Acids which penetrates the skin and assists in the removal of dead skin cells to reveal a fresh, new layer of skin. The three piece system is available individually or together in the Ultra Kit for the best value. The website does not list any of its ingredients which makes us unclear and unsettled on the effectiveness of the SilkSkin Ultra products in general.

The Good

  • SilkSkin Ultra products are readily available online from the manufacturers’ website and very reasonably priced.
  • SilkSkin offers a wide variety of other products other than the SilkSkin Ultra Anti-Aging products on its website.
  • SilkSkin provides several customer testimonials which is important to consumers who will be trying the products for the first time.

The Bad

  • SilkSkin does not list its product ingredients anywhere on its website.
  • The official product website for SilkSkin Ultra is unprofessional and difficult to navigate.
  • SilkSkin products may not contain powerful ingredients that are backed by scientific evidence such as Hyaluronic Acid and may not be effective in producing noticeable results.
  • The website has a flawed return policy that only refunds for the purchase price and not the shipping and handling charges although claiming to aim for complete customer satisfaction.

The Bottom Line

SilkSkin Ultra products are readily available with online retailers such as SilkSkin.com. They are reasonably priced under $50, and willingly accept returns within six months of the purchase date, but do not refund for the cost of shipping and handling. SilkSkin does not offer a list of ingredients for its products, but does list a few of the active ingredients such as AHA, and it would be beneficial for them to start adding stronger, more powerful ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid or Matrixyl 3000. SilkSkin should be commended for providing customer testimonials on its website.

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.
