Overview

Z. Bigatti is an American skin care line that develops products for “all skin types and ages” but appear to be geared primarily toward sensitive and aging complexions. This cosmetic brand offers a total of 25 products, and claims to be devoted to the science behind effective skin care. These skin care treatments are sold at the “finest retailers around the world.” Their very first product and best selling skin treatment today is known as the Z. Bigatti Re-Storation skin treatment facial cream, which endeavors to be an “all-in-one” facial care system.

Although Z. Bigatti develops an array of skin care products ranging from neck-firming treatments, to intensive facial serums, to eye creams, to facial masks, their premiere product is the Re-Storation skin treatment. This particular product aims to protect, nourish, moisturize and repair facial skin all in one step, and therefore eliminate the need for a three-step skin care regimen. The Z. Bigatti Re-Storation skin treatment is claimed to tone skin, improve texture, battle fine lines and wrinkles, provide necessary moisture and protect skin from harsh elements. Some active ingredients incorporated into this treatment are amino acids, Arginine and natural botanical extracts. Z. Bigatti Re-Storation skin treatment is supposed to be applied to a clean face and neck, morning and night.

The Good

  • The official Z. Bigatti website offers all of their products for sale online.
  • Z. Bigatti treatments contain moisturizers.
  • The official Z. Bigatti website offers a convenient 1-800 number.

The Bad

  • There is no clinical evidence documented on the official Z. Bigatti website confirming the effectiveness of Z. Bigatti products.
  • Z. Bigatti does not offer a 100 percent money-back guarantee via the website.
  • These products may be a bit pricey for the average consumer considering they range from $55-$295.
  • Z. Bigatti treatments are not claimed to be dermatologist-tested or non-comedogenic via the website.
  • No customer testimonials are provided on the website.

The Bottom Line

Z. Bigatti is an interesting line of skin care products and certainly contains moisturizing components that may help nourish the skin of some users. However, the official Z. Bigatti website is lacking important information regarding clinical testing, dermatologist recommendations and customer testimonials. While the concept of an all-in-one “miracle” face cream sounds ideal, it would be nice to see more proof that this product actually does what it claims.

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.
