Overview

Despite its name, Boswellia Wrinkle Cream contains more than the famed herb Boswellia to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines. The company that makes the formula, Youthful Living Essential Oils, reports that Boswellia Wrinkle Cream also contains several other naturally derived ingredients to perform its effects. While the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team always appreciates unique approaches to skin aging, we decided to analyze this product to see if it could actually deliver.

 Featured Ingredients

Obviously, most of the claims for this cream are based on the reputed effects of Boswellia, an herb found mostly in Eastern medicine. Otherwise known as frankincense, Boswellia has a long reputation as a healing substance, long being associated with helping reduce inflammatory responses in the body. Even though this effect is well-known, no scientific studies have shown that Boswellia performs any specific effects for the skin, including the ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

In addition to Boswellia and some other essential oils in the product, Boswellia Wrinkle Crème also contains MSM (methyl-sulfonyl-methane). Essential to living tissue, MSM helps to promote the flow of oxygen and nutrients through the body, especially in connective tissue like collagen. Therefore, MSM seems to be a sensible candidate for inclusion in a skin cream. But as much as MSM seems to help keep bones and joints healthy, there is no evidence regarding its effects on the skin, even when delivered topically. If one wants to encourage collagen production, it seems that there are better choices.

 Web Site Description

Although the makers of Boswellia Wrinkle Crème seem to have given much thought to creating a product that contains natural ingredients, the company does not seem to have taken much time to construct an informative web site. Not much research is available on the ingredients in the formula. Although customers can order online, there is no free trial involved, meaning that most people will have to take a leap of faith and pay full price before seeing if Boswellia Wrinkle Cream actually delivers. Given the fact that there are no customer testimonials posted either, this may indeed be a leap of faith.

 Positives

- Natural ingredients may have minimal side effects

 Negatives

- Research on skin effects are inconclusive

- No free trial or customer testimonials

- Does not contain known collagen boosters

 Conclusion

Even though the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team tends to be supportive of companies that avoid using synthetic ingredients in their products, we also want to make sure that the products perform benefits as promised. We’d like to believe that Boswellia Wrinkle Crème helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines, but nothing in the research convinces us of that fact.
