Overview

Biotica is a cosmetic company based in California, with some manufacturing facilities in Mexico. The company produces a three-part anti-wrinkle system, of which Biotica Wrinkle Reducing Day Cream is a featured portion. This product is supposed to reduce wrinkles and fine lines visibly within a few days. Whenever a company makes that claim, the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team feels it is their duty to investigate further and find out if the ingredients can truly deliver as promised.

 Featured Ingredients

Unfortunately, most of the ingredients in Biotica Wrinkle Reducing Day Cream fail to live up to expectations. Although the product contains the antioxidant Thermo Thermophilus, a rare plant extract, the company claims that this ingredient can repair free radical damage to the skin. However, in our scientific experience, antioxidants can only help prevent damage, not repair it, so this bold claim concerns us. In addition, Biotica Wrinkle Reducing Day Cream also contains Lipo-peptides, which are a combination of lipids (fats) and peptides (proteins) that can supposedly help the skin hold onto moisture while also encouraging repair of damaged collagen in the skin. While this is an intriguing concept, the fact is that the company does not disclose exactly what lipids or peptides are used, so it is hard to judge their effectiveness.

In addition, two ingredients in the formula concern us. One is Isopropyl Myristate, which is a complex made up of Isoproyl alcohol and Myristic acid, which is supposed to enhance absorption of ingredients into the skin. Unfortunately, this ingredient can be extremely irritating to many who use it. In addition, Biotica Wrinkle Reducing Day Cream contains Butylene Glycol, a chemical derived from petroleum (oil), which can have major clogging effects on the skin.

 Web Site Description

Although the Biotica web site seems to promote the effects of Wrinkle Reducing Day Cream as a product that can be used on its own, further investigation reveals that one much purchase the formula as part of a three-part system to notice the true effects. Considering that consumers cannot purchase any Biotica products directly from the web site, and must instead buy bulk or ‘wholesale’ means that the company may be forcing consumers to put forth a great deal of money up front, which disturbs us.

 Positives

- Product may have some useful collagen boosters

 Negatives

- Antioxidant claims are inaccurate

- Product contains Isopropyl Myristate and Butylene Glycol, two known irritants

- No free trial, consumers must buy wholesale

 Conclusion

Biotica Wrinkle Day Cream seems to miss the mark on several occasions. Not only do the company’s claims about antioxidants seem inaccurate, but the formula’s inclusion of known irritants is disturbing. Considering that consumers now value safety so highly, we cannot recommend this product.
