Overview
The full name of the product actually is High Resolution Fiberlastine Intensive Recovery Anti-Wrinkle, which shows how much Lancome is invested in highlighting that this formula contains the company’s proprietary Fiberlastine ingredient complex. This compound is meant to soften wrinkles and facial creases. High Resolution is specially meant for dry skin, since the formula also contains several moisturizing compounds.
Featured Ingredients
It is difficult to precisely determine what Fiberlastine contains, since Lancome keeps the exact formula tightly guarded. From what the AntiAging-Reviews.com team of researchers was able to determine, however, the complex seems to feature peptides (proteins) associated with the production of elastin. In addition to collagen, elastin is an important component of healthy skin since it keeps skin flexible and able to stretch in response to environmental stressors. Elastin declines with age, so if Fiberlastine can help the body produce more of it, than this ingredient does have some merit. But it is difficult to obtain more information on the research behind the ingredients in this complex, making it hard to determine if it does what is promised.
We are concerned that while Lancome High Resolution addresses an important part of skin rejuvenation by encouraging elastin production, the product does nothing to help produce collagen, the other important element in the skin. This formula could have been improved with the addition of known collagen boosters like Glucosamine Complex and Regenex.
In addition, even though Lancome High Resolution seems to contain some effective moisturizing agents, it does not seem to contain Hyaluronic Acid, which is one of the best skin hydrators available. Hyaluronic acid should be a standard ingredient in every anti-wrinkle formula, so the fact that Lancome High Resolution does not contain it concern us.
Web Site Description
The web site for Lancome High Resolution is very similar to the sites for the company’s other products. It is very sleek and stylish, but especially since the company fails to disclose its exact ingredients, the site lacks substance. In addition, no free trial of Lancome High Resolution is offered, meaning that most consumers will have to spend hundreds of dollars on these formulas before seeing if they work.
Positives
- Encouraging elastin production is an interesting approach to wrinkles
Negatives
- No collagen boosters
- No Hyaluronic acid
- No free trial
Conclusion
Although the Lancome name is synonymous with high-quality cosmetics, the company’s attempt at a wrinkle reducer does seem powerful enough. We’d like to know exactly what Fiberlastine contains and have the opportunity to view the research so that we can judge whether this formula actually increases elastin in the skin, and what effect this may have on your wrinkles.
