your skin damaged by staying too long under the sun? Do you want to prevent
future signs of aging? If you can revitalize your skin, then you should

advanced skin care product, which can reverse the effects of aging. It
protects your skin from the environmental damage that is believed to accelerate
the aging process. In addition, it gives a firmer, less wrinkled, younger,
softer, smoother skin. It was voted as the Winner of Allure Magazine Editors'
Choice Award for Best Anti-Aging Treatment.
Prevage (0.5% idebenone) does not give you instant results. Randal D.
Haworth, a Beverly Hills dermatologist, remarked that it takes about five
to six weeks for fine lines and wrinkles to begin to disappear.

How Does It Work
Prevage skin care contains Idebenone, an effective antioxidant.
It scored the highest EPF® activity when tested against other antioxidants
such as Vitamins C and E, CoQ10, Kinetin and Alpha Lipoic Acid. EPF is
the measure of effectiveness of an antioxidant shield.
Idebenone corrects and prevents cellular aging such as wrinkles, uneven
skin tone, and the loss of skin elasticity. It does this in two ways.
First, it neutralizes every free radical that it comes in contact with.
Lastly, it interrupts the chain reaction that can causes visible signs
of aging.
As the molecule of Idebenone is small, it can easily penetrate into the
skin. It corrects and protects skin cells to produce a healthier, rejuvenated
skin.
Does Prevage (0.5% idebenone) Really Work
According to in-house clinical tests on this anti-wrinkle cream, the
participants experienced a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles by 59% after 8 weeks. Moreover, 73%
of improvement was recorded after 12 weeks.

damage. They in the age group of between 25 and 65 years.

What Do Users Say About Prevage
I am 46 years old and have always looked much younger for my age.
In the last few years I started to notice fine lines, skin that
was not as firm as it used to be and very dull looking skin. I tried
everything from Tazorac , glycolic acid, from one product to the
next, trying numerous brands. Everything seems to work ok, as I
guess the wrinkles etc. were kept to a minimum as a result. I was
walking through Sears one day looking for a foundation and the Elizabeth
Arden Representative who assisted me gave me a sample of Prevage
to try. I thought.......... another gimmick. Well, I used for a
few days with no reaction at all and LOVED it. My face is soft,
smooth and glowing! . Although it seems quite expensive, as lots
have said, a small pea size is all you need. Will definately repurchase.

I've been using Prevage for about 8 months now and will never stop!
My skin has never looked better. It literally erased a lot of my
wrinkles, not the deep ones, but the expression lines around my
eyes are almost completely gone.

I have been using Prevage religiously for six weeks - the time
in which you are supposed to notice some wrinkle reduction. I am
in my early thirties and am bothered by the fine lines under my
eyes, and am also interested in preventing further sun damage. Prevage
is marketed as the strongest, most effective antioxidant and therefore
is supposed to be superior for preventative purposes. As far as
the wrinkle-reduction is concerned, I am very disappointed. If anything,
because my skin is on the dry side, and because one is supposed
to apply this product before any others (including moisturizers),
the skin under my eyes appears more dry and wrinkled. I therefore
have not seen any evidence that it is an effective wrinkle reducer
at all. However, it is impossible to assess how effective it is
as an antioxidant, and therefore how effective it is as a preventative
product. I do like the fact that it is less irritating than Vitamin
C, as it is not acidic. Because of the irritating effect of Vitamin
C on my skin, I have only been able to apply it every other day.
I have had no such problems with Prevage. It is drying on my skin,
but not irritating.

Verdict
Prevage
was created when Elizabeth Arden collaborated with Allergan,
the maker of Botox Cosmetic. But it does not mean that Prevage Anti-Aging
Treatment will give you aninstant result like Botox. So, don't expect
miracles.
If you want a higher concentration of Idebenone, then you can try Prevage
MD that has 1% of Idebenone. However, clinical studies sho that there
is marginal difference between 0.5% and 1% of Idebenone. Furthermore,
unlike Prevage MD, Prevage can be bought over the counter without prescription
and it has twice the amount of Prevage MD which stretches your money more.
This product is ideal for you if you want your skin to be sustained for
a long period. Thus, you must be willing to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks
to see the results. It is definitely cheaper than Botox in the long run.
If you have a very sensitive or abnormal skin, then this anti aging cream
may not work. It seems to work best for normal skin.
