If you look at Almay Kinetin marketing, they use some pretty specific numbers. For example, they promise that you can reduce fine lines by 45%, skin discolorations by 47%, and improve skin texture by 77%. Almay is a well known company, often selling in drug stores, that has been around since 1931. Products can also be found through their main website.

Price: $24/0.3 oz bottle

Product Details:

There are two ingredients named in Almay Kinetin: kinetin and gluconamide. There is no full ingredients, not only to judge the full formula, but also to get an idea of the possible concentrations of the main ingredients. Unfortunately, though kinetin has shown some promise in early animal studies, there is no research to suggest that it will work in humans, and the animal research is somewhat incomplete. Likewise, glucomanide has nothing to back its use in wrinkle care.

Overall Impression of Almay Kinetin:

Almay has been around for years, but apparently has never really changed their tactics and ingredients. They provide no ingredients list, and the two ingredients they do provide are spotty at best. The anti wrinkle industry has gone far beyond most other natural care industries. It has literally hundreds of solidly proven ingredients that most companies don’t choose to use, because they care more about the bottom line than providing a reputable product. We regret that Almay Kinetin is one of those products. But there are plenty of others that provide a significant amount more promise.
