Overview

Redoxa is actually produced by Benev, a company that distributes many kinds of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products throughout the world. This company has a good reputation, and recently its Redoxa formula was brought to our attention because it has been featured prominently in many online marketing efforts. Most of the time, however, this formula is available only through a doctor’s office, so access may be seriously limited.

 Featured Ingredients

DMAE. This nutrient was first used as a capsule supplement for older folks looking to ward off some of the effects of brain decline that occur during aging. Thus, it makes a curious choice for a skincare product, to say the least. There have been one or two small, limited studies, however, that suggest that DMAE may help prevent some signs of premature aging in the skin when applied topically. However, this nutrient does not seem to have a direct effect on wrinkles and seems particularly weak when compared to Glucosamine Complex, Lifting Spheres and other such compounds

Vitamin C and Vitamin E. While these two vitamins are important antioxidants that the body uses to guard against free radical damage, there use is beginning to diminish. Most of this can be blamed on the fact that many creams now include synthetic forms of these vitamins, which may not be effect and could cause some side effects. In contrast, many skin companies are now using natural botanical antioxidants like Green Tea, White Tea and Grape Seed Extract, which seem to be more powerful and more natural choices.

 Web Site Description

The web site for Redoxa does seem to have ample information about the product, even though it does not contain very many details about DMAE and its reputed effects on the skin. In addition, since Redoxa is usually available only through a doctor’s office, no price is listed. No free trial is available.

 Positives

- Company has a good reputation for its pharmaceutical products

 Negatives

- DMAE is unproven for the skin

- Vitamin C and Vitamin E from synthetic sources

- No free trial available

 Conclusion

Even considering Benev’s reputation internationally, we cannot recommend the Redoxa formula at this time. This product seems to be a weak offering and may not address many of the key causes of wrinkles, including decrease in collagen and loss of moisture. Instead, we would prefer products containing Glucosamine Complex and Hyaluronic Acid.
