Today’s Honest Strivectin Stretch Marks Review

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

You will see in the following Strivectin stretch marks review that this is not only a one of a kind skin product, but also a great skin cream and can do wonders for your skin.

When I say that this product is one of the best on the market, I do not mean for stretch marks. I am a male and I have been using Strivectin for a cream after I shave. It is great for making your skin feel great after a shave.

It was five years back that I first heard of this product. I worked for the company that makes and markets it. I worked as a representative and maintained the account at a major clothing and department chain.

I am, to say the least, very vain about my looks and do not want to get old. I had been told of the wonders of the product and decided to try it.

Almost instantly, I noticed how great and smooth it made my face feel after I shaved. In less than two weeks, I began to notice that the wrinkles around my eyes were getting less and less noticeable.

I was about 2 months later when my mother visited me for a few days. One day, we went to the store to do some shopping and I noticed that she was looking at me oddly. I asked her what the problem was and she replied ” I am not sure, you just look different than the last time I was here, you look much more healthy and happy than the last time I was here.” I mumbled something about the climate being good to me here where I lived.

Later that night, I thought about it and decided to see if I could find a picture that was about 4 or 5 months old. I did, I was shocked as I looked at the picture and then the mirror. The dark circles that were under my eyes for as long as I could remember were much less noticeable now, and I just looked better than in the picture.

I use this product every day after I shave and I love it. There has not been one single person who guessed my age correctly in some time, and all think I am younger than I am.

This product is great, it is a little pricey, but a tube will last me about 8 months.

The Ingredients of Meladerm

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Meladerm claims to be different from all other skin lightening products in the market because it is a product of extensive research. Its formulation took four years to develop which proves that is solidly based on intensive study and experimentation. With the latest in skin care and lightening technologies, the product is not only designed to yield a more radiant complexion but also reduces dark spots such as melasma, freckles, sun damage, liver and age spots, old scars, tans, birthmarks and acne among other skin discolorations.

All-natural ingredients

Another distinctive characteristic of Meladerm is that it does not contain harmful ingredients such as steroids, mercury and hydroquinone which are typical of other skin care products but come with several side effects with prolonged use. The product is composed of Meladerm ingredients that are both safe and effective. These include alpha arbutin, mulberry, niacinamide, bearberry, licorice, embilica powder, lemon juice extracts, kojic and lactic acid. All these components carry the lightening properties of hydroquinone sans the adverse effects.

The water-soluble and pure biosynthetic property called Alpha Arbutin is known to stop melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase enzyme activity. On the other hand, Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) prevents melanosomes to be transferred into keratinocytes, which also results to stopping skin pigmentation. Niacinamide can also reduce acne.

Bearberry extract or Beta Arbutin also functions in a similar way like its Alpha counterpart, A-Arbutin, which is more expensive to make. Tyrosinase activation is also inhibited by licorice extract while offering anti-inflammatory benefits. To further maximize the skin lightening capabilities of the ingredients, Lemon Juice and mulberry extracts are included in small amounts.

Embilica Powder comes from the Pyllanthus Embilica plant that has been found to contain antioxidant compounds, which are great in reducing skin aging. Aside from its antioxidant compounds, Embilica also contains skin lightening properties that can be used in average concentrations.

An effective alternative to hydroquinone is Kojic Acid, which is derived from malting rice’s fermentation-a common occurrence when making Japanese sake. Lactic Acid is one of the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) ingredients of Meladerm, together with Glycolic Acid, that aids the other active ingredients to farther penetrate the skin. Some other active Meladerm ingredients are Vitamin C, Gigawhite, and Tego Cosmo C.

Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel - Enhances Skin Complexion

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel is the ultimate solution to a pigmented skin, dark spots, freckles and aeing darkness. The unique patented gel formula contains a combination of glycolic acid, hydroquinone (2%) and the company?s own patented Advanced Performance Complex. Regular use of the gel will bring evenness to the skin, leaving it smooth, clear and radiant.

Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel enhances the skin’s surface by the process of exfoliation of the skin cells. The discolored skin, freckles and age spots fade away while the AHA’s present in the formula exfoliate and repair your skin from within. The end result is a glossy skin that is evenly toned.

Often, a skin care regimen helps to clear the skin. But persisting dark spots that seem stubborn would need an additional usage of Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel, to the usual skin care routine. The difference will be conspicuous in a matter of days as the skin gets cleansed and cured with this formulation.

Other ingredients that compose Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel include glycolic acid, licorice, allantoin and the Advanced Performance Complex or APC that is proven to fade the dark spots. The glycolic acid helps in exfoliating the skin. The combination of these ingredients promotes enhanced penetration of the essential nutrients in the skin.

The licorice and allantoin together assuage any redness or inflammation. Now do not expect the cream to work magically. It can take up to 2 months before the skin shows any visible effects.

Gel usage must be on a regular basis in order to produce the designed effect. However, you should consult your doctor if you want to increase the dosage or if your skin is showing side effects like burning or allergy. Murad contains Hydroquinone (2.0%), which acts on the skin to lighten it. This ingredient has been banned by the environmental agencies since it is carcinogenic.
