LifeCell Skin Wrinkle Cream (made available at www.lifecellskin.com) is a facial treatment system that claims it can offer immediate results against the signs of aging. These signs include wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles or ‘Crow’s Feet’, uneven and patchy skin, age spots, sagging skin, and as an added bonus claims it will plump the lips to look fuller.
All of this combined is usually achieved with most products using various items as part of a full program. However, LifeCell claims that they can do it with a single cream, and faster and better than any other treatment on the market, including surgical methods.
LifeCell Versus Botox
One of the heaviest claims made by LifeCell is that the cream has more drastic immediate results than well-known injection or surgical methods such as Botox. The tests of the product do not quite back this up, as the results vary from user to user.
Certainly with prolonged use some men and women found themselves with results quite similar to those that are gained from Botox, without the risk of infection, poisoning, or the numb, stiff feeling that leaves you unable to move your face, sometimes for days.
Timing Of The Results
The claims that LifeCell will eliminate wrinkles immediately is a little ridiculous. The concept applied is that one cannot see a wrinkle and what is actually noticed is the shadow of a wrinkle. Lifecell uses a silical based compound that reflects and refracts light within the crevice of the wrinkle to make it invisible.
According to tests there is an effect after one application, but that effect is merely a reduction of the visibility of fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth. The other benefits, such as elimination of deep wrinkles, evening the skin tone, and a facelift effect takes between two and four weeks. The reduction in the dark circles under the eye seemed to begin immediately, but didn’t hit it’s peak for at least a week for most users.
Ingredients
The LifeCell website claims that it is the use of 3-dimensional, microscopic crystals that give it such incredible results. The truth is that this face cream is made with four main ingredients. Each one is an anti-oxidant, and most are also known for having tightening effects on the skin, which is what gets rid of the sagging skin, and the wrinkles.
The skin tone and dark circles are taken care of through the use of vitamin C, and the lip plumper with the a fifth ingredient that give the collagen effect to the rest of the face. These ingredients are:
- Dithiolane-3-Pentanic Acid
- Deanol
- Idebenone
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
| Website Claim | Test Result |
|---|---|
| Wrinkles will be eliminated within 30 seconds of application. | Fine lines will be reduced within the first few minutes, but lasting results on bigger issues will take around two weeks and in some cases longer. |
| LifeCell is the only product that can offer results better than Botox without any injections or cosmetic surgeries. | Results will vary from user to user, and on how bad their skin really is. But many users of LifeCell reported Botox-like results without the side-effects, pain, risk, or expense. |
| Has no side effects at all. | Some users experienced an uncomfortable tingling feeling as the skin tightened, and others complained of some dryness that was treated with the use of a moisturizer. |
| Will naturally and effectively take away all imperfections in the skin. | Will show a noticeable difference for most users in a week, with full results after around 6 weeks. Very little change is noticed immediately. |
| Smells refreshing and 'soothing'. | LifeCell has a slight smell, similar to that of other prescription creams you may get from a doctor or clinic. It is faint, and not unpleasant. |
