Posted by beautyviewpoints | Under Eye CreamsElastiderm Overview
In recent years, scientists and physicians have discovered that aging skin doesn’t just happen, it’s caused by a depletion of collagen and elastin over time. This depletion causes the bonds in the skin to break down and wrinkles to form. Although we may not be able to escape the loss of collagen and elastin, recent trends in beauty products have given women and men of all ages hope that they can reverse the signs of aging with topical beauty products. One product that is attempting to harness the power of collagen and elastin in their facial creams is Elastiderm, manufactured by Obagi Medical. Elastiderm claims to be able to help skin regain some of its lost ‘snap” and have a more youthful appearance.
Elastiderm The Product Details
According to the Elastiderm website, skin begins loosing collagen and elastin in one’s 20’s. Once the skin looses enough of these two components, facial areas begin to look droopy and loose their “snap,” or ability to stay firm. Elastiderm claims to be able to help restore elastin to the skin and help the body produce collagen. Obagi Medical asserts that their bi-mineral complex that includes zinc and copper helps rebuild lost firming components. The site also stresses that Elastiderm is not a cream but rather a serum that restores elasticity and reduces wrinkles. The website lists some clinical trials and boasts that 46% of women saw an increase in elasticity after six weeks and 16% saw a decrease in wrinkles after two weeks. The site notes that all specific data from this trial is on file.
