Overview

Sisley is a company that was founded by a French nobleman in 1978, who wanted to create a line of cosmetic formulas based on “phytocosmetology,” or the belief that one should be able to avoid synthetic products in promoting beautiful skin. The company has a strong reputation for developing products that contain a wide array of plant-derived ingredients, many of which can have significant protective effects for the skin. While this dimension is important for the skin, the AntiAging-reviews.com research team wondered whether Sisley’s Intensive Night Care cream would be able to have any noticeable reduction in wrinkles or fine lines.

 Featured Ingredients

Many of the botanical ingredients in Sisley Intensive Night Care do have a promising amount of scientific research attesting to their abilities to protect the skin from damage. Chamomile has been used for centuries to calm inflammation in skin, which can help keep wrinkling from occurring. In addition, Lily acts as both an antioxidant to neutralize free radicals as well as help the skin to retain moisture, although in a way that is much more limited than other known moisturizers such as Hyaluronic Acid. St. John’s wort has also been used to help keep inflammation in check, but some scientists are concerned with side effects from using this plant extract, especially in those with a family history of cancer.

While Sisley Intensive Night Care may in fact have a protective effect on the skin and help ward off free radicals, we were surprised that the formula did not also include other known plant protectors as Green Tea, White Tea and Grape Seed Extract. In addition, while protection is important, the formula does not seem to do anything about wrinkles that are already present on the skin. A better choice seems to be a formula, perhaps similar to Dermitàge, which not only protects the skin but also employs collagen boosters like Regenex and Glucosamine Complex.

 Web Site Description

The Sisley web site does seem to have a fairly clear and accurate presentation of its products, company background and ingredients used in its formulas. However, the customer testimonials are lacking, and it does not appear as if consumers can try any of the Sisley formulas for free before committing to paying full price. Most Sisley products are not available online and much be purchased at retail stores.

 Positives

- Good use of protective botanicals for the skin

 Negatives

- Does not include Green Tea, White Tea or Grape Seed Extract

- No collagen boosters like Glucosamine or Regenex

- No free trial offered

 Conclusion

While Sisley is on the right track by using known botanicals to help protect the skin, the company’s Intensive Night Care formula falls a bit short. We’d like to see the formula include Green Tea, White Tea and Grape Seed Extract. In addition, a more complete formula would also contain nutrients like Glucosamine Complex and Regenex to boost collagen in the skin and truly help reduce wrinkles that may already be on your skin.
