Some of the company’s most popular products are in its anti-aging line which include Hydro-Surge Deep Moisture Lifting Treatment, Nutri-Lift Day Time Ultra Lifting Serum, Nutri-Lift Night Time Nourishing Fluid, Wrinkle Balm Night Treatment, and Repair C-Plus Copper & Zinc Vitamin Concentrate, among others.

The Good

  • All of the products include a full list of ingredients. Many ingredients have been proven effective against aging.
  • Some of the Skinn Dimitri James anti-aging products do provide before and after photos of consumers who have had success with the products.

The Bad

  • The products are expensive and do not offer a money back guarantee.
  • Scientific research is not provided to verify claims that the products are effective in treating wrinkles and other signs of aging.
  • Customer testimonials are not provided on the company’s website.

The Bottom Line

Many of the Skinn Dimitri James products are likely effective given the ingredients they contain. It is great that the company lists all of the ingredients so consumers can make a determination of whether or not it may be right for their skin. It would be better if the company offered a money back guarantee and customer testimonials though.

Our top pick for 2008:  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.
