Overview

Celladerm Anti-Wrinkle Cream is produced by a company based in Bismark, North Dakota, which claims that this formula represents a new generation in anti-aging skincare. They seem to base their conclusion on their proprietary complex of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, called Polyhydroxyl Acids, which are supposed to more effectively exfoliate the skin and set the stage for renewal and rejuvenation. Since this is a relatively new development, the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team decided to give Celladerm a closer look.

 Featured Ingredients

As mentioned, Celladerm’s main active ingredients include a unique combination of Polyhydroxyl Acids, which are a new type of the previously used Alpha Hydroxy Acids. These compounds began to be used on a wide basis in 1992, following studies that showed that AHAs could exfoliate the skin and remove many of the dead cells that were making wrinkles more noticeable. While this seemed to be true on a limited basis, AHAs can be quite irritating for the skin. As a result, their use has continued to decline since newer, more effective exfoliating compounds (like Glucosamine Complex) have been found to be more effective and less irritating. According to Celladerm, Polyhydroxyl Acids are also less irritating than AHAs, which certainly is a positive development.

However, the fact remains that there is little if any evidence to suggest that Polyhydroxyl Acids can do anything more than remove the surface layer of dead and worn skin cells. No long-term studies have been shown that it keeps this effect going over time, nor whether these compounds can promote the production of collagen in the skin, which is crucial to keeping wrinkles and fine lines away.

 Web Site Description

Although the Celladerm web site does contain quite a bit of research on Polyhydroxyl Acids, much of this science is limited to short-term laboratory tests on skin cell grafts. That means that this ingredient may have yet to be tested fully on live human subjects, suggesting that its effects may not be fully known. The good news is that Celladerm offers a free trial of the product, so at least the risk to consumers’ pocketbooks is diminished compared to other products. However, knowing that the formula likely does not address other causes of aging skin - such as lack of collagen or problems with moisture retention - may deter many visitors from even trying Celladerm in the first place.

 Positives

- Free trial of the product is available

 Negatives

- No long-term studies on Polyhydroxyl Acids

- Does not contain Regenex or other collagen boosters

- Only provides exfoliation effects, which is only one element of aging skin

 Conclusion

AntiAging-Reviews.com truly does encourage new developments in skincare science, which is why the team is constantly reviewing the latest technologies and ingredients. However, even though the team would love to endorse Celladerm for its inclusion of a less-irritating version of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, in our view the product simply doesn’t do enough to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
