Skin Doctor's Capillary Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Skin Doctor Capillary Clear Broke Capillary Solution claims to dramatically reduce the appearance of broken capillaries and burst blood vessels at the skin’s surface. Skin Doctor is an Australian cosmetics company that promotes various skin care products. Skin Doctor Capillary Clear appears to be available for purchase at several online retailers but we were unable to locate an official company website. This disappoints us as many consumers want to gather as much information as possible about the product, its ingredients and how it is manufactured.

We were also unable to locate any sign of a money-back guarantee, which is something we always look for in a skin care product as it shows that the company stands behind the product and the consumer can purchase with confidence that if it doesn’t work, they can send it back.

Product Details

According to one of the online retailer’s websites, the ingredients in Skin Doctors Capillary Clear are: Water (Agua), Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG 100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Dimethicone, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Polyacrylamide, C13 14 Isoparaffin, Laureth 7, Retinyl Palmitate, Polysorbate 20, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Phytonadione, Glycolic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Salicylic Acid, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Allantoin, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil (Sunflower), Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil, Bioflavonoids, Ginkgo Biloba, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil (Rose Hip), Propylparaben, BHT, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Disodium EDTA.

None of the ingredients in this formulation really stand out to us as being able to deliver on the product’s promises. Glycolic acid is often used in skin peels as it sloughs off the top dead layers of skin. Some people are quite sensitive to glycolic acid however as it can cause skin sensitivity, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. If you have skin sensitivities, you may wish to consult with your doctor or dermatologist before trying this product.

Two ingredients that concern us are methylparaben and propylparaben. Parabens are cosmetic preservatives that are also known allergens. Many higher-quality skin care products exclude these ingredients for that reason. If you are prone to skin allergies, you may wish to exercise caution before knowing how this product will react with your skin.

The Good

  • Available for purchase at online retailers.

The Bad

  • No official web presence found.
  • No money-back guarantee offered.
  • Contains known allergens.
  • Customer ratings low.
  • May not contain effective ingredients.

The Bottom Line

Skin Doctors Capillary Clear is a specialized treatment for a specific skin problem. The low customer ratings we found are an indication that perhaps the product might not be as effective as claim. Many consumers prefer to use a broader rejuvenative product that helps the body restore natural function to facial skin and protects it. We feel the best products on the market today contain ingredients like collagen and hyaluronic acid. If you are seeking a skin care solution that helps reverse the signs of aging, you may wish to research other options rather than trying this one.

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.
