AlphaDerma CE Review Summary |
|
Janson Beckett is the company behind the skin care formula AlphaDerma CE. This company has an extensive line of skin care, wrinkle reducing and anti-aging products. They’re specialty in terms of skin care is what they call “BOTOX® alternatives”, which AlphaDerma CE is purported to be. Janson Beckett says that their product line uses formulas which are “comprised of the highest quality, safest anti-aging ingredients that provide maximum wrinkle and fine line reduction and results”.
They have launched AlphaDerma CE as a new anti-aging and wrinkle reducing product, which they say is “the most aggressive step taken to Reverse Fine Lines and Depth of Wrinkles on the Face and Neck due to aging”. However, this is an industry in which a great many companies make very similar claims; some can deliver very good results, while others can not. We will thoroughly investigate AlphaDerma CE to see if it can deliver the advertised results or not.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
AlphaDerma CE’s formulary makes use of the following ingredients in its formulary: Soy, DMAE, Elastin, Argireline and Vitamin C Ester, as well as other ingredients listed on the website.
Soy is actually soybean, a plant from Eastern Asia, which is used as a food. It is used in industrial products such as: plastics, soaps, resins, inks, crayons, solvents, clothing, biodiesel, cosmetics and oils.
DMAE is also called Dimethylaminoethanol, which is an organic compound, which is thought to improve mood and alertness. It is being tested to see if it has any ability to increase the lifespan of animals and humans.
Elastin, is a protein found in connective tissue, providing the elasticity, which allows the bodies tissue to take up again their shape when stretched. Elastin also aids the skin to go back to its original position when it is poked or pinched. Elastin is very important for proper functioning in the lungs, arteries, bladder, skin, elastic ligaments and elastic cartilage.
Vitamin C Ester is a combination of Ascorbic Acid and Palmitci, which is a good of source of Vitamin C. It is both an antioxidant and food additive

AlphaDerma CE is a purported by its manufacturer to be a cure all for age related skin woes. It is advertised as being able to “reverse fine lines and depth of wrinkles on the face and neck due to aging”, as well as “diminish stretch marks and scars while firming sagging skin due to weight loss and pregnancy”. In general, this is a tall order, which we do not believe the formulary used in AlphaDerma CE, can deliver.
In general, this formulary uses very weak skin replenishing agents, such as Vitamin C Ester, Elastin, DMAE and Soy. The ingredients may”look” good on the label because they are all very health producing ingredients; however, they are not tradionally used topically to aid in skin rejunivation. For instance, Vitamin C Ester is a great vitamin to take when you are sick to help fight off infection; however, it has no known ability to generate skin health. Also, Elastin is necessary for good bodily functioning and to maintain the health of certain organs; such as the lungs, arteries and bladder, but once again it has no known effect on enhancing skin health when used as a topical orintment. This is the case with many of the ingredients used in this formula.
However, we were glad to see that this product uses Argireline in its formulary. It is the one ingredient that is used in AlphaDerma CE, which we believe may be of some help in decreasing the effects of aging. It is a mix of amino acids, which have been shown to be able to relax facial wrinkles, decrease the degree of existing wrinkles, and impede their future progression. In our estimation, formulas, which use this ingredient, h | | |
