Overview
Juvena was founded by a Swiss company more than 50 years ago. At the time, it was considered revolutionary, because unlike the heavy, thick creams that were mostly offered at the time, Juvena released a line of cosmetic formulas that took the “Active Moist” approach. The company soon gathered a strong international following because their products tended to feel light and smooth to the touch. Recently, AntiAging-Reviews.com decided to review Juvena’s Night Cream Plus, which is said to take years off the appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Featured Ingredients
Juvena Night Cream Plus is supposed to counteract the environmental stresses that the skin is exposed to on a daily basis by helping stimulate production of collagen in the skin and helping counteract hormonal changes that can accelerate aging. While this seems to be a unique approach, it is hard to determine exactly which ingredients in the formula are meant to achieve these goals. The best information that we were able to gather suggests that Juvena Night Cream Plus relies mostly on pearl proteins, which are derived from oyster pearls. While this sounds luxurious, these proteins are not really any more powerful from the many peptides and proteins derived from other plant sources. Their effect on boosting collagen production in the skin does not seem to be established, and we thus suspect that it is quite weak.
Web Site Description
Unfortunately, it is hard to determine a full profile of Juvena and its Night Cream Plus because the web site only contains a partial listing of ingredients. In addition, there is no research on pearl proteins on the site, which makes it difficult to evaluate the effects of this compound. Even though Juvena offers a unique guarantee - if customers are not pleased they can return the product for a voucher for a competitor’s product - there is no online purchasing option available. So consumers are forced to buy this product via retail only.
Positives
- Juvena has a long and highly reputable reputation
Negatives
- Pearl proteins do not seem as effective as other collagen boosters
- No Hyaluronic Acid for advanced moisture control
- Lack of sufficient clinical research - no free trial
Conclusion
Regretfully, Juvena seems to have missed the mark with its Night Cream Plus. Despite the company’s best intentions, this formula seems to be nothing more than a basic evening moisturizer. While this shouldn’t damage Juvena’s strong reputation in the field, we recommend looking elsewhere to experience the kind of wrinkle reduction that one would truly desire.
