Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream is marketed as an alternative to Botox. The product appears to be available in several salons and clinics, but we had a difficult time locating information about it online. Skin care products that do not have an official online presence concern us since this may mean that the manufacturer is not committed to the product.
Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream, according to online sources, is based on salicylic and glycolic acids, which are frequently used as chemical peels. This process sloughs off the outer dead layers of skin to stimulate the production of new skin cells and make the skin appear brighter and healthier. This is a very different process than a Botox treatment. During a Botox treatment, botulism toxin is injected sub-dermally around wrinkles and creases in the face to paralyze the facial muscles. Without being able to contract, the skin above the muscles remains smoother. Botox is rated uncomfortable to painful by consumers and the treatments have to be repeated every 2 to 6 months to get continuing results. We will have a closer look at the ingredients in Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream in the next section to see if it might be able to produce similar results without the expense and discomfort of a Botox treatment. Because we were unable to locate an official website for Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream, there is no indication of a money-back guarantee or of any product samples being offered.
Product Details
We were not able to find an official ingredient list for Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream but, according to online sources, the ingredients may include: Glycolic Acid, Kojic Acid, Azelic Acid, Hydroquinone, Licorice Extract, Salicylic Acid, Titanium Oxide and Aluminum Oxide Crystals.
The inclusion of Hydroquinone concerns us. This substance lightens or “bleaches” spots on the skin. It has now been banned in several countries and the FDA has recommended a ban in the US as Hydroquinone is a suspected carcinogen. Those with sensitive skin may wish to be careful with this product as glycolic and salicylic acids can dry out and irritate the skin. We see no other ingredients in the list that could provide Botox®-like results. Two ingredients we always look for in an anti-wrinkle formulation are hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin, and Argiriline, which relaxes underlying facial muscles to smooth wrinkles. There is no indication that either ingredient is included in Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream.
The Good
- Includes moisturizers.
The Bad
- Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream may be difficult to locate for purchase.
- Full ingredient list may not be disclosed.
- Contains a suspected carcinogen, hyroquinone.
- May not be suitable for sensitive skin.
- May not contain clinically-proven anti-aging ingredients.
The Bottom Line
While most skin care products at least have one positive thing going for them, this does not appear to be the case with Belladerm Rejuvenation Cream. At best, it does not appear to have ingredients that would carry out the promised results. At worst, it can damage skin and potentially increase the risk of cancer. We recommend that consumers continue their search for an effective anti-wrinkle product.

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
