In our opinion, Strivectin products aren’t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. This is my review of Strivectin SD. I’ve been using this product for a years with GREAT results. What it does not do well is lighten spots dark and sun spots and smooth out wrinkles. I think it has some immediate tightening effect as well. StriVectin launched in 2002 as a stretch mark cream that was sold in health food stores such as GNC. It was a niche brand but then, according to company lore, women started to use it on their faces and claimed it helped to reduce their wrinkles. StriVectin capitalized on this by running ads that asked, “Could StriVectin actually be Better than Botox? I am 64 years young and have tired and used a lot of creams, etc …so heres my review for this Brand.While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for. I’m 55 and have been using strivectin for 10 years and hardly have any wrinkles all my friends and acquaintances ask me what I use and now I have a very large following and everyone that I know are also using Strivectin now. As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses it’s natural plumpness and smoothness. Retinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. While retinol provides many benefits to the skin, it’s also known to cause side effects like skin dryness and irritation. StriVectin products have also made waves in independent tests. In 2002 the World Congress of Dermatology in Paris showed that the peptide Pal-KTTKS in SD Advanced Intensive Concentrate was more effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles than creams containing retinol or Vitamin C.

I finally learned that you’ve got to give products the time to work. I was always one to use WAY too much and expected results over night. Unless it’s an instant item, you really need to give the product at least 30 days to know how you really feel about whether it works or not. Strivectin, I managed to avoid until recently when I found it sold so much cheaper, but you have to catch when they have it. I do wish it was at a price point where more women can enjoy it. It does deliver. ❤️ Tetrapeptide-21 is categorized as a signal peptide because it works by sending signals to cells. This process, which is known as cell-signaling, occurs naturally in the body every day. For instance, when collagen is degraded it produces peptides that send signals to skin cells to generate more collagen. We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Here’s a closer look at the active ingredients commonly used in Strivectin skincare products. Vitamin C, retinol, and peptides make up the core ingredients for the Strivectin skincare line. These ingredients should all be part of your skincare routine. The customer service is the best I have ever received from any other company. Frances sorted out my query so professionally and without delay. Keep up your excellent customer service as you are a credit to StriVectin. 10/10You can't ignore the studies behind this one: This lightweight cream (which sits perfectly under makeup) was put through a four-week clinical trial in which 95 percent of users noticed their skin felt firmer and more toned. It's just that good.

Key Ingredients: Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramide Blend, Gravitite-CF Lifting Complex™, NIA-114™, and Botanically Derived Brightening Complex The Strivectin Tightening Body Cream was designed to serve as a deeply nourishing body moisturizer that offers smoothing, tightening and firming processes. While we are often very conscious of the ingredients and properties in our skincare products, we often forget to do the same due diligence for our body care products. If you’re starting to notice uneven skin tone on your body, increased dryness or roughness, it may be time to step up your body care game. The Strivectin Tightening Body Cream contains ingredients like their patented NIA-114 technology which helps to strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier, while caffeine and peptides help to boost collagen production and create smoother, more youthful looking skin. According to the Brand, skin will look more toned, tighter and firmer in just 8 weeks. Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules that are naturally produced by the skin and are vital in supporting the skin’s barrier (the stratum corneum). A properly functioning stratum corneum is essential for healthy skin as it maintains epidermal hydration and serves as a barrier that responds to environmental stressors, infections, irritants, and allergens.

In our opinion, StriVectin products aren’t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. Horrible. After one day’s use woke up with burned bright red swollen face and eyes!!! Little blisters now forming and very hot to the touch and painful!! Like the worst sunburn ever! Using ice and taking antihistamines. Very dangerous stuff. Should be banned! Why hasn’t the FDA done something about this??
