The StriVectin Company Line
“Is this cosmetic breakthrough better than Botox? Who would have thought that a stretch-mark cream would turn out to be the anti-wrinkle breakthrough of the decade!”
The Bottom Line
Yes, you just read that correctly—StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks apparently (according to StriVectin) works on fine line and wrinkles, too. StriVectin claims the SD formula contains a patented oligo-peptide called “Pal-KTTKS” that was found to outperform retinol in a series of studies presented at the 2002 World Congress of Dermatology in Paris. StriVectin-HS Hydro-Thermal Deep Wrinkle Serum touts itself as the first & only thermophyllic (heat-activated) serum developed to intensify the integrity of the “Dermal-Epidermal Junction”—a narrow wall of rolling, “wave-like” cells just below the surface of the skin. StriVectin is upfront, though, about what it takes to use the HS formula—stating that while “…you’ll want to bathe in it. But at $153 a bottle (for approximately 28 facial applications), how much you apply and where you apply it will probably be limited by your bank account.”just below the surface of the skin

I have tried the SD with 15% SPF. The 2 oz. has lasted me about 4 months so a little goes a long way. I have definitely noticed the laugh lines around my mouth have filled in and my face takes on a plumper healthy glow too. The thing I don't like is not knowing what kind of chemicals are in there that I should be concerned about. If anyone knows please share this information.
Just bought a bottle of Strivectin to diminish lines on my upper lip and my chin. Bought the eye cream rather than the 6 oz bottle because I don't care for the smell of peppermint. Has anyone gotten any results at all from Strivectin? And if so, how long did it take for some appreciable change to occur?
