Purpose
Natural Advantage skin care system by
Jane Seymour prevents aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It consists
of three main products such as Daily Cleansing Gel, All Day Moisture,
and Nighttime Renewal Complex. They are designed to work together to fight
against wrinkles and other effects of aging.
How It Works
The
main active ingredient in the Natural Advantage is Retinol, a common ingredient
found in anti wrinkle creams. Retinol can helps the skin to produce new
collagen. This helps your skin to look young and smooth. Thus, the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles will be reduced.
Since it is a common ingredient, the manufacturer developed MicroSponge,
a new delivery system to set the product apart from its competitors. Journal
of Current Drug Delivery did mention that microsponge delivery systems
can “provide increased efficacy for topically active agents with
enhanced safety, extended product stability.” However, there is
not much of information about how it works exactly.
They claim that this technology enables them to put in more Retinol in
their creams. Furthermore, it can deliver higher concentration of Retinol
with alpha hydroxy acids and fruit acids to the skin on a gradual basis
than many skin care products in the market.
Does It Work
In Cosmetic Dermatology January 2005, Dr Zoe Diana Draleos remarked that
the effectiveness of the skin care products depend on the formulation
and the concentration. But the manufacturer did not reveal the concentration
level of the Retinol in the Natural Advantage cream. So, it is hard to
say if the product really works.

How Soon Can You See The Results
Within 14 days, you should see improvement on your skin. 8 weeks later,
your fine lines and wrinkles are not so noticeable.
Pros
- Your friends could hardly see any fine line and wrinkle on your face.
- You will receive a free gift of Ultimate Hydration on your first
order.
- The Daily Cleansing Gel is gentle on sensitive skin and effective
in removing eye makeup.
- No risk as it comes with a 60-day money back guarantee.
Cons
- If you put too much retinol, it can make your skin dry.
- It can be time consuming if you have to follow the 3-step skin care
regime.
- Lack of information on “MicroSponge” technology.
- The quantity in the Daily Cleansing Gel is much lesser than many cleansing
products on the shelf.
- You need to apply sunscreen even though the moisturizer comes with
SPF 15 rating. The label states that "because this product may
make your skin more sensitive to the sun, be certain you have adequate
sunscreen protection while using this product and for a week after you
discontinue use."
- You may feel a slight "tingling" sensation when you use
it for the first time.
- Customers complain about their auto delivery system. They often receive
the second month supply before they could finish their first one. This
can ends up in wastage when they have to continue storing the products
at home.
- There is no way to tell how effective is the product since the information
on the concentration of Retinol is withheld.
Warnings - What Should You Know About Natural Advantage
- Never apply the product on the delicate skin under the eyes or on
eyelid area. Use carefully around crow's feet area.
- Only use Nighttime Renewal Complex at night. Follow the instruction
on the label. Too much Retinol
can dry the skin.
- The tingling, burning sensation or mild redness should disappear within
2 to 4 week provided that you use the product every day. However, you
should stop using it if your skin develops rashes or irritation.
Independent and Unbiased Customer Reviews
I'm
on day 9 of using this product and can only sing its praises. I have used
it daily even though my face did sting some at first and now have almost
no irritation to speak of. I am getting comments on how my face looks
like its glowing and that it looks bright. I am noticing that my skin
is definitely firmer and the deep wrinkles on my forehead are becoming
less intense. I love the results and it only takes me about 3 min in the
morning and 5 min at night (at night I also use the hydrator). I have
also noticed that my chin and forehead have not had any blemishes since
starting this routine. I love it.

I have been using the product about three months now. The product seems
to be working very slow, however I wanted to give it a try--at least for
six months. I'm beginning to have second thoughts. To make matters worse
I am being billed on my credit card for two shipments that have not been
received. And Trying to get someone to speak with becomes almost impossible.
This is simply not working.

Remarks
Natural
Advantage Skin Care by Jane Seymour looks like a promising wrinkle
treatment even though it uses Retinol as the active ingredient. But does
it really work especially with their MicroSponge technology? The only
way to find out is to check out the comments of the users. Just like any
anti wrinkle cream, it is not for everybody. Some can see results but
some don't. So, you probably have to try it out yourself since it is not
expensive. However, their auto shipping system is one area you need to
be careful with. Many customers are not happy with their delivery method.
