Robanda Review Summary |
|
Women who are frustrated by stubborn lines and wrinkles will be happy to learn that Robanda’s line is focused almost entirely on anti-aging treatments. Founded in 1998, one of the brand’s main active ingredients is Vitamin A, or Retinol, which has been shown to improve skin’s appearance, but may also increase sun sensitivity, putting users at greater risk for skin cancer.
However, Robanda uses Retinyl Palmitate, a more stable form of Vitamin A that it claims is safer for sensitive skin and does not promote sun damage. While this may be true, skin experts warn that Retinyl Palmitate may not be able to reduce wrinkles as effectively as other ingredients

Robanda’s Multi Therapy Moisturizer with SPF 25 is intended to be used in the morning by those over 30, either alone or under makeup. As one would expect, it contains Vitamin A, which Robanda’s website claims helps to improve collagen synthesis and thicken the epidermis, helping to make it more resistant to wrinkles. Although some Retinol creams can produce excellent results, industry experts warn that most simply do not deliver enough retinol to the skin cells. In order to be effective, retinol must convert into retinoic acid, and the conversion rate is quite low. Most creams simply have too little retinol for that.
Women who are looking for a nonprescription wrinkle cream may want to consider looking for a peptide-based formula. Certain patented complexes have been clinically proven to increase firmness and smooth lines.

| Website |
|
Robanda’s website is fairly easy to navigate, and does not immediately overwhelm the user with dozens of products. The brand’s skincare line is relatively small and focused, and the website offers suggestions on how to construct a regimen. It also includes a section devoted to describing each of the active ingredients in each product, which helps consumers to make an informed decision.
Although Robanda products are available online, the company redirects shoppers to a third-party website. Many consumers prefer to purchase products directly from the manufacturer because of the added support. Many manufacturers offer free trial samples of their products in order to save consumers the trouble of returning a product that didn’t suit them. However, a third-party distributor is less likely to do this.
