Overview
Produced by DermaLogics, the Rejuvinol AM/PM System actually consists of two separate formulas. Rejuvinol is the day formula and Rejuvox is the night formula, yet the ingredient listing for both products are actually quite similar, leading the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team to wonder if the company seriously considered the different needs for skin during the day and evening. Upon closer look, we found that this system is rather weak, especially when compared to other two-step wrinkle reduction formulas.
Featured Ingredients
Both Rejuvinol and Rejuvox contain Argireline, which is a compound that theoretically can be an alternative to Botox. While Botox reduces wrinkles by freezing the facial muscles - and thus prevent the contractions of skin that cause deep creases - Argireline acts by relaxing these muscles so that skin does not bunch up as easily. While it may seem positive to present a non-toxic alternative to Botox, Argireline is not yet proven. In addition, the effects it does perform may take as long as 15 days of constant use to become visible.
Both formulas also contain Glycerol Stearate, which is a fatty acid used to add thickness to lotions and serums. It has no therapeutic use for reducing wrinkles, even though it is a relatively safe compound. In addition, Rejuvinol and Rejuvox at least attempt to provide some protection against future skin damage by including Green Tea. Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant that helps wrinkles from forming. While it is effective, studies suggest that Green Tea works best when combined with White Tea (a related plant) and Grape Seed Extract. This triple combination probably would have made a better choice for the formula.
Web Site Description
While the DermaLogics web site for the Rejuvinol system presents some good information - and the web site does contain some testimonials from costumers who have used the product - it does not present a comprehensive amount of research on its ingredients. In addition, the price does seem high and one cannot purchase either product separately.
Positives
- Testimonials posted online
Negatives
- Only includes Green Tea - no White Tea or Grape Seed Extract
- No Glucosamine Complex or other collagen boosters
- Use of Argireline may take a while to produce noticeable results
Conclusion
In essence, Rejuvinol seems like so many other inferior products on the market. It relies too much on Argireline and does not contain the right combination of ingredients that can truly reduce wrinkles and prevent aging in the skin. If you are looking for a formula that can make wrinkles and fine lines less noticeable, we recommend a formulation with Regenex or Glucosamine Complex instead.
