Her line of products includes moisturizers, cleansers, sun protection, acne treatment and toners.

Product Details
This review will focus on Dr. Ciraldo’s anti-wrinkle products, the Wri-Lax in particular. The main active ingredient in this product is the Argiriline, which is a type of a peptide that is known to boost the production of collagen and has a smoothing and firming effect on the skin. Another active ingredient is the hyaluronic acid, which is usually used in higher-quality anti-wrinkle products. Hyaluronic acid has the ability to hold on to water to deeply hydrate the skin. Other active ingredients of Wri-Lax include vitamin A, vitamin E and green tea extract.
Dr. Ciraldo’s products don’t seem to have a full list of the ingredients, which makes it hard to assess whether the product contains fillers, fragrances or synthetic colors. It is advisable that people who have sensitive skin or allergies should avoid using the product until they are sure what the remaining ingredients are. Wri-Lax is said to be a good option for those people who are too young for a Botox treatment. It can also be used together with Botox treatment to enhance its effect.
The Good
- The product contains Argiriline which is an anti-aging ingredient that is clinically proven to be effective.
- The products are formulated by a dermatologist.
- They can be purchased online on the company’s official website.
The Bad
- Full list of the ingredients is not provided by the manufacturer.
- It is not hypo-allergenic.
- No money back guarantee.
- Product samples are not available.
The Bottom Line
There is too much promise on some of the product lines of Dr. Ciraldo, especially the Wri-Lax serum. But it becomes difficult to recommend it if we do not know all the ingredients used in manufacturing it and since there is no money-back guarantee. A 1.1 oz tube of Wri-Lax product costs around $100 and not having a guarantee means buying at your own risk. There are a lot of anti-wrinkle products nowadays that also contain Argiriline and with a complete list of the ingredients and with money-back guarantee.
