Overview
The 20-Minute Face Lift comes to us from Momentum Direct, a company that began in 1995 with a focus on the wellness and anti-aging industry. At the time of this review, Momentum Direct is producing two weight loss products and one skin care item; the 20-Minute Face Lift. The 20-Minute Face Lift can be purchased from the company website and does come with a 30-day money back guarantee. You can also order a "free" trial of the product, but you will be billed in full for your order if you do not return it within 30 days after ordering.
The 20-Minute Face Lift claims to make you look 10 years younger in just 20 minutes. While some products do tout favorable results in diminishing lines and wrinkles and giving a more youthful appearance to the skin, few will state that they do so in such a short period of time. Most wrinkle fighting products advise users to wait at least a month or more to see the results they are hoping for. The 20-Minute Face Lift product is also compared to Botox on the company website. However, Botox works by relaxing the facial muscles that contribute to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The only topical ingredient that has been found to work in a similar manner is argireline. The 20-Minute Face Lift does not contain argireline.
Product Details
The ingredients in the 20-Minute Face Lift are aloe Vera gel, jojoba oil, hydrolyzed elastin, soluble collagen, sodium PCA, green tea extract, panthenol (vitamin B-5), soy bean oil, avocado oil, butylene glycol, matricaria recutita extract, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and glycereth-26. The company website lists each of these ingredients along with a description, so consumers know the purpose of each element of the 30-Minute Face Lift formula.
While some of these substances contain excellent moisturizing properties that are good for the skin, the only ingredient that stuck out to us as an effective anti-aging agent is soluble collagen. Since our skin loses this substance as we age, soluble collagen can plump and smooth the skin for a more youthful appearance. Hydoryzed elastin is another substance that is found in many anti-aging products due to its ability to improve the overall look of the skin by increasing flexibility and elasticity. Unfortunately, we did not find any proven wrinkle reducing ingredients on the list, such as argireline or matrixyl 3000.
The Good
- Product contains soluble collagen, a proven anti-aging ingredient.
- There are many customer testimonials on the company website.
The Bad
- Does not contain argireline or matrixyl 3000.
- The "free" sample is actually a money back guarantee in different packaging.
- The 20-Minute Face Lift advertises itself as similar to Botox, but provides no ingredients that will effectively relax facial muscles like Botox does.
The Bottom Line
The 20-Minute Face Lift does contain some ingredients that can effectively smooth and moisturize the skin. It does seem like it could yield some short term anti-wrinkle results. However, if you are looking for something to diminish the look of wrinkles permanently, you are better off selecting a product that contains argireline or matrixyl 3000.
