Strivectin SD – Dermalogica – Reviews for Anti-Aging Wrinkle Creams

The research is in and it is clear that Strivectin cream is more effective then retinol and vitamin C at reducing wrinkles in the delicate thin skin of the face and neck but people also want to know if it is better than Botox.

Botox and Strivectin Cream

Both Botox and Strivectin cream have both been studied extensively and the fact is that they both do work, but in different ways and on different types of skin and wrinkles.

Botox is derived from a toxin that paralyzes muscles and simply put that is how it works. Some people have been referring to Strivectin cream as Botox cream, because they both are recognized effective wrinkle eliminators. Botox is not used in a cream form but rather it is administered in injections just under the skins surface where skin wrinkling is occurring. It is highly effective on the thicker skin of the face and neck where muscle contractions are playing a part in the creation of wrinkles, such as frown wrinkles on the forehead.

Strivectin Cream Offers the Benefits of Botox in Cream Form

Strivectin cream is referred to as Botox cream, because it has the same positive effects on wrinkles on the finer and more delicate skin of the face such as the skin surrounding the eyes where crows feet tend to form and also around the lips where the small wrinkles are found in the soft tissue up against the outer edge of the lips.

Strivectin cream or Botox cream as it is often referred to doesn’t have the side effects of Botox injections, so it is perfect for these delicate areas. The one big side effect of Botox injections particularly in the area around the eyes, lips and brow is that due to the paralyzing effect on the muscles in the skin it can cause what has been referred to as Frankenstein face.

This is when your face is unable to naturally express emotion, because the eyes and brow and other parts of the face are impeded by the effects of the Botox injections. Strivectin cream is recommended to be used in conjunction with Botox due to the fact that the Botox is effective on the areas such as the neck, cheeks and forehead, while the Strivectin Cream works great on the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.

All About Botox Cream

Strivectin works on the layer of cells that is between the dermal and epidermal skin layers. It is this layer called the dermal-epidermal junction that becomes degraded and shrunken due to aging and exposure to the sun. Strivectin Cream works to effectively build up the thickness of this skin layer and tighten or contract the connective tissues in it that provide the cohesion between the two top layers of your skin.
