LifeCell Skin Care Review - Ingredients are Key to Anti Aging Product Success

LifeCell claims to be the last anti aging product you’ll ever need. It’s no secret that cosmeceutical companies are known to use a little hype to get consumers excited about their product, so is LifeCell just up to the same old tricks? Or have they put together a breakthrough anti aging product?

I did a bit of investigating into the key ingredients found in their product, and while some of their advertising and/or marketing might seem a little over the top, the science behind their product appears solid.

The big appeal of LifeCell is it’s touted as an All-in-One anti aging product. In theory this should save you time and money right? Most of us are tired of having to apply two or three products to achieve the results we want, and the cost of those products adds up.

The Ingredients

LifeCells All-in-One Skin Care system contains five key ingredients (visit LifeCell & scroll to bottom to see ingredients)

• Dithiolane-3-Pentanic Acid
• Ascorbyl Palmitate
• Acetyl-Hexapeptide-3 (Botox® alternative)
• Deanol
• Ubiquinone

Dithiolane-3-Pentanic Acid (aka. D3PA), is another term for Alpha Lipoic Acid, a popular anti aging ingredient. It’s a universal antioxidant, meaning that it’s soluble in both water & oil making it extra effective at penetrating cells and protecting against the damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are responsible for a lot of the visble effects of aging we see including: wrinkles, fine lines, crows feet, puffy eyes & dark circles.

Ascorbyl Palmitate, is a form of Vitamin C. Many top anti aging skin care products contain some derivative of Vitamin C. It’s important to the over all health of our skin, how ever I wouldn’t say it has any “miracle” anti aging properties.

Acetyl-Hexapeptide-3 is a very powerful Botox® alternative. Is it the exact same thing as being injected with needles? No, there is no substitution for that cosmetic procedure, how ever LifeCell offers a far more cost effective alternative that does produce results, and for those scared of needles, LifeCell is well worth a try.

Deanol, I believe is also another name for DMAE, it’s a commonly used ingredient in anti aging & anti wrinkle cosmeceuticals. Deanol is a universal antioxidant as well as an anti-inflammatory. It can produce benefits for swelling and of course also reduce the negative aging effects of free radicals on our skin.

Ubiquinone, from what I can find is a synthetic variant of idebenone. Both are extremely powerful antioxidants. Dr. Leslie Bauman associate professor of dermatology at the University of Miami is quoted as saying “I’m trying not to get too excited, but I am convinced this [idebenone] is the best antioxidant I have seen yet,” in the January 2004 Issue of Allure magazine.

While these ingredients aren’t exclusive to LifeCell, the combination they have put together appears powerful and provides a very good defence against signs of aging, wrinkles and fine lines.

While LifeCell has a lot of testimonials on their website, and have taken the time to market their product to the who’s who of Hollywood, I feel the ingredients can stand on their own two feet without the hype.

Should You Try LifeCell?

I’m going to leave the final decision up to you. The science behind their ingredients looks solid and I can see how their anti aging system could produce favourable results.

Like any anti wrinkle product I’d urge you to stick with it for at least 6 weeks if you choose to try it. No skin cream is going to do miracles in a day. You need to use it long enough for it to work.

LifeCell does offer a 30 day risk free trial, and a 4 month money back guarantee. If you’re not fully satisfied with the results you achieve you can get your money back.

A positive aspect about LifeCell is they aren’t hiding behind some “fake” return scam. There’s a link on the bottom of their website explaining exactly how you can return your unused portion of LifeCell if you’re not satisfied. On that same page they also state that “long term effects of LifeCell do not always appear evident until the 6th week of usage”, suggesting again that you need to give LifeCell some time to work it’s magic, but isn’t this true of all cosmeceutical products?

I would avoid their auto ship program, this can end up costing you additional money you don’t need to spend. If the product works for you and you’re satisfied with the results, trust me you’ll remember to re-order it.
