We love it when we can find a good product for a good price, and we love it even more when we can save in bulk as we buy multiple products for an affordable price. Fortunately for us, Atzen advertises products that are supposedly designed to save your money and save your skin, treating everything from acne to aging.
Developed by researcher and educator Catherine Atzen, Atzen is a line of products using “French science and sophistication” and natural ingredients to provide a general skin care line to improve skin. Atzen offers several product lines ranging from sunscreens to moisturizers to acne treatments, and most of their packs come with multiple components meant to be purchased together, which can add to the cost but supposedly also add to its effectiveness. In particular, Atzen’s skin renewal pack appears to be especially beneficial because it is formulated specifically to increase skin vitality while reducing the appearance of brown spots and wrinkles.
Product Details:
Unfortunately, there are no ingredients lists available, making it difficult to determine whether or not Atzen relied on a good blend of quality ingredients or packed their products with fillers and preservatives. However, from the small descriptions they provided, we gathered that some of their products contain citric acid, lactic acid, and vitamin C – which can hardly be considered skin regenerating or wrinkle fighting ingredients.
From our research we’ve learned that most of generic spot-fighting products work by regenerating and increasing skin turnover, which theoretically results in a decrease in wrinkles, acne, etc, but unfortunately, Atzen has none of these ingredients.
As an additional drawback, Atzen fails to even offer consumers skin bleaching ingredients that might target brown spots – despite their advertisements.
Price: $284/whole pack
Overall Impression of Atzen:
As much as we’d love to promote Atzen’s easy-to-purchase products, there is very little to distinguish their generic formulas and ingredients from all the other products clamoring for attention. Although the ingredients are clinically proven to produce results, the results they produce are little more than the effects caused by a glorified moisturizer. Atzen products are not necessarily bad, as they are known for keeping their side-effects and skin irritation to a minimum, but their products are necessarily the best on the market either. We find their package deals appealing, but most consumers can’t afford the $300 a month to spend on skin creams, so we do not whole-heartedly recommend the use of Atzen on a regular basis.
