Review (4/5): Great ingredients
I bought this product for the stretch marks on my butt, behind my legs and knees because I saw that this product is affordable and has so many great ingredients such as:
Organic barbadensis leaf juice or aloe juice: as we all know that aloes have many many benefits due to its anti-inflamatory properties due to the two hormones called Auxin and Gibberellins. Together they help treat acne and reduce the redness from acne. Aloe also has healing properties that have been used to treat sunburn, help prevent scarring and treat existing scars.
Organic helianthus annuus (sun flower oil): Sun flower oil is rich in Vitamin E which is a well known antioxidant for its healing properties. It also contain many great oils such as coconut, vitamin E, jojoba, rose hips, argan oil and many more which are all very healing and moisturizing for the skin
cordifolia callus culture extract (plant stem cells): Derived from Globularia Cordifolia, a species of flowering plant native to the mountains of central and southern Europe, Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract detoxifies skin by eliminating damaged proteins and other accumulated environmental wastes. It also provides protection from oxidative stress thereby reducing the effects of cell aging.
Matrixyl 3000: Matrixyl is palmitoyl-pentapeptide 3 and this is a peptide that specifically stimulates collagen synthesis and skin repair. this is a long term skin care ingredient. The two new peptides palmitoyl-tripeptide and palmitoyl-oligopeptide. They are supposed work synergistically to mimic the appearance of this broken down collagen, causing your skin to react by producing more collagen, as well as elastin. The company that owns the patent has conducted research on two panels of 23 volunteers aged from 39 to 74 to demonstrate that matrixyl 3000 is more effective than the original matrixyl at regulating skin cell activity. In early 2013 University of Reading researchers found that Matrixyl can nearly double the amount of the protein collagen needed to give skin its elasticity.
Gotu Kola: has been used to treat many conditions for thousands of years in India, China, and Indonesia. It was used to heal wounds, improve mental clarity, and treat skin conditions such as leprosy and psoriasis. Gotu kola has chemicals called triterpenoids. In animal and lab studies, these compounds seem to help heal wounds. For example, some studies suggest that triterpenoids strengthen the skin, boost antioxidants in wounds, and increase blood supply to the area. Based on these findings, gotu kola has been applied to the skin, or used topically, for minor burns, psoriasis, preventing scars after surgery, and preventing or reducing stretch marks.
I am not giving this a 5 stars review because I do not know how well it will work for I have only been using this for a short period of time but i will definitely come back to review more when I see changes. This product has many many great ingredients and it absorbs quickly into the skin so that alone earned it 4 stars. the cream is white and has a the consistency of light yogurt so one pump goes a long way.
