StriVectin Line BlurFector Instant Wrinkle Blurring Primer

Product Information

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. An innovative ingredient in StriVectin products is NIA-114, a patented, optimized form of niacin/vitamin B3. The company says it is clinically proven to strengthen the skin barrier and supercharge the performance of other ingredients for visibly transformed, more youthful looking skin. The ingredient is also believed to protect skin from external stressors and prevent water loss. Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles – This intense eye concentrate for wrinkles serum offers an enhanced solution to under-eye dark circles, under eye wrinkles, and puffiness. Line BlurFector Instant Wrinkle Blurring Primer – This anti-wrinkle primer should be applied before makeup and helps fill up skin folds, as well as keep the skin hydrated.

Use retinoids at night. We recommend this retinoid oil serum . It contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, an ingredient that provides similar benefits with less irritation. StriVectin Multi-Action Blue Rescue Clay Renewal Mask is a massage-activated, color-transforming clay mask designed to improve the look of dull, lifeless skin in just ten minutes. Encapsulated blue algae extract and pigments activate upon application, transforming from white to ocean blue color. Once applied to the skin, this mask is said to effectively draw impurities out of pores while providing the skin with moisture and nourishment. There are two types of clay ingredients in this mask, kaolin and bentonite, that provide absorbent properties to remove excess oil from the skin’s surface and pores, as well as reduce shine. These clay ingredients can sometimes cause skin dryness, however, the StriVectin Multi-Action Blue Rescue Clay Renewal Mask contains several hydrating ingredients to combat this issue.Milani M, Sparavigna A.

While Strivectin does offer many vegan products, the brand doesn’t identify as such. Not all products listed are 100% vegan, so they don’t claim to fall under that category. Is Strivectin cruelty-free? Mármol I, Sánchez-de-Diego C, Jiménez-Moreno N, Ancín-Azpilicueta C, Rodríguez-Yoldi MJ. Therapeutic Applications of Rose Hips from Different Rosa Species. Int J Mol Sci. 2017;18(6):1137. Published 2017 May 25. doi:10.3390/ijms18061137 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.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. First things first, the main aim of this product is to fill and blur the appearance of wrinkles as well as to prevent any makeup applied on top from settling into creases and fine lines. At 31 years old, I can't say that wrinkles are a huge concern of mine just yet, but I have definitely noticed fine lines creeping in around my eyes, especially after a year of constantly interrupted sleep thanks to my 1-year-old. Over the last year, I've also noticed that my concealer tends to crease and settle into small fine lines under my eyes during the course of the day. A major issue? No. But it's annoying nonetheless. Always dedicated to doing their best, communication and customer service are key for this company. Noting any customer complaints and studying the formula for solutions, buyers can be assured that this brand doesn’t promise any results they haven’t already seen through testing. Pigmentation, puffiness, and sagging in the skin tend to accompany aging. Sorry to say it, folks. But while there’s no permanent solution, select treatments are available to slow and counteract and that’s why we’re showing off Peptight 360˚ Tightening Eye Serum.

The peptides incorporated into this serum work to tighten the skin and reduce inflammation and puffiness to the area through its cooling sensation. Apply the serum and massage it in through the cool metal applicator to keep hands clean while getting the job done. 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? 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. Curnow A, Owen SJ. An Evaluation of Root Phytochemicals Derived from Althea officinalis (Marshmallow) and Astragalus membranaceus as Potential Natural Components of UV Protecting Dermatological Formulations. Oxid Med Cell Longev. 2016;2016:7053897. doi:10.1155/2016/7053897 Strivectin Tightening Face Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that is said to visibly tighten while strengthening the skin barrier, providing antioxidant protection, and nourishing skin. One of the key ingredients in this serum is NIA-114, also known as myristyl nicotinate, a derivative of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). It isn’t the same ingredient as niacinamide, although it provides many of the same benefits, such as repairing the skin barrier and improving skin moisture, as well as reducing inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling. However, this ingredient won’t provide a skin tightening effect. If you do notice that your skin feels tighter after using Strivectin Tightening Face Serum, it is likely due to the high concentration of film-formers in this product (e.g. cyclopentasiloxane, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, pullulan, etc.). While these ingredients will help the skin look and feel tighter, the effect is purely cosmetic; these ingredients do not actually repair the skin. Lastly, Strivectin Tightening Face Serum contains one peptide: Tetrapeptide-21. When tetrapeptide-21 is applied to the skin, it provides anti-aging benefits such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also stimulate repair and renewal mechanisms of the skin.
