The 20-Minute Facelift is advertised as a Botox alternative that will diminish fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone, make skin look more radiant, and firm facial muscles. The 20-Minute Facelift is the product of Momentum Direct, a company that has specialized in diet supplements and skin care since 1995. However, the company website no longer appears to be fully functional at the time of this review, which makes us wonder if they are continuing to stand behind the products that they manufacture. We did find the 20-Minute Facelift website, which still offers this product for sale.
The 20-Minute Facelift website provides many customer testimonials and invites customers to try it for free for thirty days. We also found websites with complaints from consumers who said this product did not work as promised and could not get refunds on their purchases. This leads us to wonder if this risk free trial is really as free from risk as the company promises. We were pleased to find the website also offers a full ingredient list for the product, allowing consumers to decide for themselves whether this formula will be effective and safe.
Product Details
The 20-Minute Facelift includes the following ingredients: 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. In addition to providing this list, the website also goes into detail about what each of these ingredients will do for your skin.
The only proven anti-aging ingredient that we see in this mix is soluble collagen. Collagen is a substance that is lost as we age, leaving sagging skin and wrinkles. Adding collagen to mature skin can successfully plump the complexion and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, soluble collagen is much more effective when it is combined with patented anti-aging ingredients like matrixyl and argireline. This formula does not seem to include either of these ingredients.
The Good
- The 20-Minute Facelift website provides customer testimonials and a money back guarantee.
- Soluble collagen is included in the formula.
The Bad
- The company that makes this product no longer seems to have an official online presence.
- Complaints about the product and the company can be found online.
- There are few patented anti-wrinkle ingredients found in the formula.
The Bottom Line
The 20-Minute Facelift has been touted as the Botox alternative. However, there are numerous anti-aging products on the market that make a similar claim. Some of those products have ingredients like matrixyl and argireline, which have been proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We would encourage consumers to look for products like these to get the greatest benefit from their skin care dollar.
** Our Top Skin Care Choice **
Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science
Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0After looking at literally hundreds of wrinkle reduction and prevention treatments, Nue Science Cell Revival is our top choice. This product offers customers a Risk-Free Trial, and makes sure to both repair and protect the skin with Matrixyl 3000 for collagen and Uniprotect-PT-3 for UV protection. No other formula that we've seen takes such a holistic approach to skin care. Matrixyl 3000 is a clinically proven and patented wrinkle-fighting peptide, while Uniprotect-PT-3 is one of the most advanced sun protectors currently on the market. User testimonials on how a formula works says it all, and the Nue Science website provides ample proof. When you factor in the trial offer, the potent formula, and the testimonials and the clinical studies posted on the official site, it's easy to see why Nue Science is our top anti-aging pick. >> Read more about Nue Science
(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze
Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0After looking at so many anti-aging treatments, we've seen that the delicate skin around the eyes can be a real problem area for many people. Dark circles can make you look years older, and for some people even a good night's sleep won't make them go away. That's why we were so excited to find Hydrolyze, which has been formulated by industry experts specifically as an under-eye treatment. The makers of Hydrolyze are so confident in their product that they offer potential users a Risk Free Trial so they can see the results for themselves. Hydrolyze contains the break-through ingredient Haloxyl, which has been shown to reduce under-eye discoloration between 40%-60% in a clinical case study. By offering consumers a way to erase the dark circles and wrinkles that often occur under the eyes, Hydrolyze is revolutionizing the skincare industry. >> Read more about Hydrolyze
