Yonka Review
On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview

The Yonka skin care line is derived from a French company that believes in the use of plant based product ingredients by way of their fragrance and revitalizing essential oils. These products are also combined with marine extracts, vitamins, minerals, fruit acids and alpha hydroxyl acids. The Yonka line primarily consists of face, body and sun beauty products. Yonka directly distributes its products to professional estheticians and not retail stores internationally. Yonka’s website(s) are comprehensive and very educational. Although, these websites leave the customer wondering where Yonka products can be purchased.

Product Details

Yonka’s day and/or nighttime anti-aging treatment, Optimizer, consists of both a serum and a cream to be used in conjunction with one another for optimal results. However, these products may also be used individually. This particular product contains horsetail (rich in silicium), wild rose, hyraluronic acid, collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Silicium is another term used for silicone and is used to firm skin, improve its elasticity and smooth fine lines. Hyaluronic acid is a water binding agent as such it serves to smooth and plump the skin by way of hydration. Further, it carries nutrients to skin cells that do have a direct blood supply. Collagen is imperative in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and strength. Thus, collagen serves to restore the skin’s firmness that is inevitably lost with age. Glycosaminoglycans support cell growth and regeneration. This product claims to be able to correct tired and wrinkled skin, re-shape facial contours and deliver supreme resilience which is excellent for pre and post menopausal women.

The Good

  • Yonka products are not tested on animals.
  • Yonka products contain fresh collagen and hyaluronic acid which are acknowledged for their anti-aging effects.
  • The website offers a glossary of terms and product ingredients.
  • Usage instructions are very clear.
  • Yonka’s website offers tips of the month and suggested products for particular skin related issues.

The Bad

  • Yonka products are not available via the website.
  • Yonka’s website offers no free trial samples.
  • Yonka’s website does not offer links to local retailers selling Yonka products.
  • Yonka products do not contain modern patented peptide complexes proven to smooth skin thus reducing wrinkles.
  • The wide variety of products and sub-product lines may appear overwhelming.
  • No product prices are given.

Product Summary

Yonka products do not contain modern patented anti-aging ingredients, rather they rely on ingredients that that have been used to fight wrinkles for awhile. Yonka’s products are not easily obtainable to the average consumer unless you visit a skin care professional that happens to carry the product line. While the plant derived philosophy is appealing because it appears natural there is no scientific data or clinical results offered to substitute the efficacy of these particular ingredients. The website(s) appear to be well organized, however, the plethora of products may be overwhelming and confusing for the average consumer.

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.
