Afirm is a retinol cream that claims to have the strongest concentration of retinol than any other cream. It comes in three different strengths of: 1X, 2X, and 3X. The makers claim that even consumers with sensitive skin can use Afirm. With higher concentrations of retinol being used, Afirm claims that the product will smooth, and provide even skin tone as well as firm the skin.
Product Details
Afirm is available several online retailers. At the time of our review, there was no official product website available for Afirm. The Afirm retinol cream provides three options to consumers: 1X, 2X, and 3X. The 1X contains only 0.15% retinol and this is the one that is recommended for users with sensitive skin. The 2X product provides 0.3% retinol and is geared more towards individuals with normal to fair skin. And last but not least, the 3X is the strongest of the three products with 0.6% retinol and should only be used by consumers that do not have sensitive skin. The Afirm retinol cream products are said to fix sun damaged skin, smooth and firm fine lines and wrinkles, and even unclogs pores and even tighten them by removing the dirt. After reviewing the Afirm product, we could find no other ingredients listed on any online retailers websites.
The Good
- Afirm is available through several online retailers.
- Afirm provides three different concentrations of retinol to choose from.
- Afirm is somewhat affordable at about $50 or less.
The Bad
- No official product website for Afirm at the time of our review.
- Retinol seems to be the main ingredient in the Afirm product and is not a strong anti-aging product.
- There are no before and after photos available online for Afirm to provide proof that this product is effective.
The Bottom Line
Afirm retinol cream is available through several online retailers but not through any brick and mortar locations from what our research shows. The product is sold at a fairly reasonable price of about $50 or less. Afirm does not seem to be part of any particular product line, but is produced by TxSystems along with several other types of anti-aging products so there were not actual complimentary products to be used with this Afirm retinol cream. Our research found that the main ingredient was retinol, and no other ingredients seem to be listed on any of the online retailer’s websites. Retinol is vitamin A, that comes from animal products and doesn’t necessarily have scientific backing to prove that it promotes any skin care benefits. We feel that the product should provide other strong anti-aging ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid or Matrixyl 3000 that are proven to promote cellular turnover. Also, there should be customer testimonials and before and after photos provided in order to provide proof that this product is effective. At the time of our research, we could find none.
** 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
