People have scars. But it's the physical kind that they try to hide with make-up and clothing.
To address this, there are scar reduction options, ranging from dermabrasion and laser surgery to steroids and filler injections that can flatten scars and make them less prominent.
Recently, the Skinception line of skin-care products has ventured into the market with a new product that capitalizes on their obviously considerable knowledge of natural active ingredients and patented peptides. Case in point, their anti-wrinkle cream, eye cream, anti-stretch mark cream, and rosacea treatment.
Now Skinception offers Dermefface FX7 Scar Reduction Therapy to reduce or prevent scars and, as they claim, "fade scars like magic". But does it deliver?
The Ingredients
Dermefface employs natural active ingredients and moisturizers with patented peptides like their well-known Pro-Coll-One+. In that sense, you can consider Dermefface FX7 as a hybrid of natural skincare and modern skin technology.
Of the more prominent natural ingredients, in Dermefface FX7 you'll encounter beta-glucan, bilberry, and various fruit extracts. There's also hydrolyzed soybean fiber and very notably, a biologically active form of vitamin B3 and darling of the natural skin brightening industry, niacinamide.
The
beta-glucan is an obvious choice because of its long history as an anti-irritant. But it's also an effective moisturizer and proven to stimulate the natural production of collagen. Beta-glucan also promotes the health of macrophages รข€“ the cells that destroy bacteria and remove dead or damaged skin cells.
Getting back to that Pro-Coll-One+, we shouldn't forget that it's clinically proven to stimulate collagen by up to 1,190%. Combine that with Symglucan, Pentavitin, and several other active ingredients and Dermefface FX7 have the goods to stimulate healthy human collagen fibroblasts, slough off dead skin cells, and encourage normal, healthier skin cells to take their place.
Results
A good set of ingredients is one thing, but it's all for naught if they don't work together and do what the manufacturer says it will do.
Fortunately, Dermefface FX7 comes with the Skinception name attached to its label, and as with most things Skinception, Dermefface delivers, in that it fades scars, according to the clients we've spoken with. And yes, it appears to work in as little as four weeks.
Dermefface FX7 markets itself as a treatment for both developing scars and those existing. Many clients using Dermefface use it for both of these reasons, and they've seen their scarring fade, though it tends to work better for a scar that's still forming. It appears to work for existing scars as well, however, with visible reduction where people want it most.
The clients who've talked with us say they're happy with the product - a non-greasy cream with a luxurious feel when applied to the skin.
Value
The Skinception name offers plenty of value. As a general rule of thumb, the greatest savings with any Skinception product tend to be had with orders of three months or higher, often with gifts or extra product added as an incentive to go long-term.
We think that's wise because skin problems like stretch marks and scarring aren't fixed overnight. Skinception products show noticeable results in a reasonable amount of time, but the most dramatic improvements can take up to six months.
Skinception offers a one-month supply of Dermefface at $59.95. Not exactly a bargain, but when you consider the luxurious formulation of Skinception products, which most clients rave about, seems a reasonable purchase. This includes both a loofah and a Microderm exfoliator.
As with most Skinception products, the best value is for a longer-term commitment. The Gold Package is a three-month supply of Dermefface, the two exfoliators, and a $25 gift card to Natural Health Source. The cost? $129.95
For the most value with Dermefface, go for the Platinum Package, which is a six-month supply, two Microderm exfoliators, and the loofah, the Natural Health Source gift card, and a savings of $160 off a one month supply. The cost of the Platinum Package, at $199.95, is a very respectable value, and we think, should be viewed as an investment to visibly fade scarring with a proven product.
