StriVectin-SD®

StriVectin-SD® is advertised as anti-wrinkle cream and stretch mark reducer. It is marketed as an intensive concentrate for existing stretch marks. According to the website, “clinical studies have proven the formula for StriVectin-SD® to effectively improve the appearance of indented surfaces, skin firmness, smooth surfaces and irregularities in skin discoloration.” The product is manufactured by Klein-Becker, who has also created a StriVectin eye cream and several hand creams intended to reduce the signs of aging on these areas of the body where dermal tissues are thinner and more delicate. Though the exact ingredients are not provided, the web site indicates that all formulas are similar with only slight variations.

The formula for StriVectin-SD® is not available. The only information given is that the product consists of a proprietary complex of skin firming agents, elasticizers and skin hydrators, and has been clinically shown to visibly reduce the appearance of stretch marks. As mentioned, the product line consists of an eye cream and hand creams, so we will look at the differences between the products’ capabilities.

StriVectin-SD® Eye Cream is intended to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles around the eye area, and soothe delicate skin in this area. It supposedly contains the same “functional compound” as StriVectin-SD®, but does not contain the peppermint aromatic compounds that could cause irritations. StriVectin®-HC Ultra Concentrate Cream for the Hands is intended to reduce the appearance of fine lines age spots, and make the skin feel thicker and plumper. According to the website, the “hand-specific” formula reduces the appearance of thin, veiny skin on the back of the hands and also helps protect the skin from environmental damage. The StriVectin®-NE NanoExfoliant is designed to improve the appearance of the hands’ “geometric skin texture and structure,” and can be used every few days to promote elasticity.

Matrixyl 3000® was designed to promote collagen production in the skin. In a clinical trial, Matrixyl 3000, the key ingredient in Bellaplex™, achieved the following results:
• 33% decrease in wrinkle density• 23% decrease in the volume of wrinkles• 20% decrease in the depth of wrinkles

Argireline® delivers superior anti-wrinkle results. It is a combination of amino acids formulated to relax facial wrinkles, reduce the degree of existing wrinkles, and stop their future development.

Collagen is the most powerful substance known to help keep skin stay young, soft and vibrant. As we age, our body produces less and less collagen. By replenishing the collagen levels in our skin, we help slow down the appearance of aging by giving our skin its youth back. Bellaplex uses fresh REAL collagen.

Hyaluronic Acid is virtually unmatched in hydrating the skin because of its ability to retain water more effectively than any other natural substance. Supplementation of HA provides increased smoothness, softening, and elasticity to combat facial wrinkles.
