Overview
Upon visiting the Renuven web site, the AntiAging-Reviews.com research team was intrigued at the company’s unique challenge to consumers. They ask those that try the formula to apply it to one side of the face, wait a few minutes and see if they can notice an anti-aging effect when compared to the other side of the face. While such an instant effect is possible, we were skeptical because most products that do so only perform a temporary youthening effect that does not last. We decided to look further and see if Renuven could actually turn back the clock for skin.
Featured Ingredients
Renuven’s instant effect seems to come from its inclusion of Silicon Dioxide, which is used by many companies to create the impression that the skin looks younger. Even though companies claim that Silicon Dioxide reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, we know that this effect is achieved because Silicon Dioxide is a synthetic chemical that reflects light differently than skin. So any visible youthening of the skin is really an illusion.
That does not mean that Renuven doesn’t have promise. It also includes Hyaluronic Acid, which is a powerful compound that holds up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. That means that skin remains moisturized and that collagen and elastin - which keep skin firm and smooth - can remain strong and healthy. The good news is that Renuven contains Hyaluronic Acid, which almost makes up for its attempt at trickery.
Web Site Description
Although the web site for Renuven is bold, presenting the “half-face” challenge to its customers, it does lack the necessary information needed to make a sound judgment about the formula’s anti-aging effects. It does not fully disclose how Silicon Dioxide achieves its magical results, nor the fact that they are in fact temporary. In addition, no free trial for the product is offered, meaning that once consumers purchase Renuven and realize that it doesn’t address most of the root causes of wrinkles, they are struck with it.
Positives
- Contains Hyaluronic acid for superior moisturization
Negatives
- Silicon Dioxide provides temporary youthening for the skin based on light reflection
- No collagen boosters like Glucosamine Complex or Regenex
- No free trial offered
Conclusion
Even considering that the makers of Renuven seem ready to back up their bold claim of instant wrinkle reduction by offering a money-back guaranteed, we could not be duped. Because the effect will not last, even though the formula does contain Hyaluronic Acid. Without collagen boosters, Renuven will likely not create the kind of lasting protection against wrinkles that today’s consumers are looking for.
