“Age spots fade away as you sleep.” Actifade claims to diminish discolorations, giving you a brighter and more youthful appearance.
While it is appealing to imagine your skin improving effortlessly, it is important to look at the consumer reviews and ingredients before making any determinations about Actifade.
About Actifade
They show pictures of hands that have a significant decrease in age spots and liver spots, and they have a range of products such as a precision youth complex, an opulent youth complex, and a radiant youth complex. However, their products are available only at Walgreens and CVS pharmacies for the most part. T
hey provide a “risk free trial” on most, which essentially means they give you 30 days to return the product for a refund minus shipping and handling and sometimes a restocking fee. But most customers forget to return products within that short timeline.
Price: $69.95-$99.90
Actifade Ingredients
One of the ingredients lists we found on Walgreens websites included water Aqua , Glyceryl Stearate SE , Cetearyl Alcohol , Mineral Oil , Ceteareth-20 , Isopropyl Myistate, Glycerin , Petrolatum , Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit Shea Butter , Sodium Metabisulfite, Propylene Glycol , DMDM Hydantoin , Methylparaben , Propylparaben , Citric Acid, Glycolic Acid , Ascorbic Acid , Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Licorice , Disodiium EDTA, Fragrance /p>
If this is any indication of the rest of their products, it is in a sorry state. Shea butter is a great moisturizer, but has no application to wrinkle care, and propylene glycol is actually a harsh chemical that can cause redness and other damage to the skin. There are really no antioxidants, no peptides, no DMAE, no ingredients that would contribute to youthful skin.
Overall Impression of Actifade
Actifade does not even give the illusion of a successful product once you look at the ingredients list. But this is no surprise, being that we have been conditioned to think that an anti wrinkle product is supposed to be nothing more than a moisturizer.
One company even put out a commercial specifically saying that they beat the $100 and so on creams as a moisturizer, even though their name specifically states that it is an anti-aging product. However, there are some companies who have come out with products that have something more, and we would suggest checking them out instead.
