Enspri is distributed in the United States by Kintech USA. Enspri makes two products: Ceramide Skin Essence and the Collagen 5000 Facial Mask. The Enspri Ceramide Skin Essence is marketed as a treatment to dramatically improve skin hydration, contribute to reducing dry flaky skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The Ceramide Skin Essence also claims to be preservative-free and ideal for sensitive skin. It’s important to look closely at the ingredients list for products that claim to work on sensitive skin because, unfortunately, that often means that the formulations are weak and ineffective. We’ll review the ingredients in more detail in the next section.
Enspri Ceramide Skin Essence is available at selected spas and beauty shops in the United States. It is also available for purchase on the Enspri website. The website itself is quite useful with sections on product features, directions, why Ceramide is good for the skin, and a full list of ingredients. Enspri also provides a 14-day money-back guarantee, although it does not specify the terms of the guarantee. We like to see companies stand behind their products with a guarantee.
Product Details
The main active ingredients in Enspri Ceramide Skin Essence are ceramides. Ceramides are a naturally-occurring lipid (fat) that protects the skin from moisture loss. As skin is damaged by environmental factors and age, the barrier begins to break down. Whether skin treatments containing synthetic ceramides are effective at restoring the barrier or not is still controversial. Enspri unfortunately does not provide any links on its website to clinical studies that might support the effectiveness of ceramides or of the product itself. When looking at a skin care product that claims to help retain skin’s moisture, one of the main ingredients to look for is hyaluronic acid, which stores water and releases it slowly into the skin cells.
The Enspri website provides a complete list of product ingredients for the Enspri Ceramide Skin Essence, which is important. The ingredients listed other than ceramides are squalene, tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E), grape seed extract, and jojoba oil. These ingredients are commonly found in moisturizers and skin treatments so there is really nothing new or interesting here. The product does not contain synthetic colors, fragrances, or preservatives which is a positive thing.
The Good
- Contains ingredients which may play a role in moisturizing skin.
- Available on manufacturer’s website.
- Money-back guarantee offered.
The Bad
- Does not contain peptides such as Matrixyl 3000 or Argiriline, proven to rejuvenate skin
- Ingredients may not be effective for deep hydration
- No product samples appear to be available
The Bottom Line
There really is nothing to write home about with the Enspri Ceramide Skin Essence. The ingredients used are common and none are proven particularly effective for wrinkle reduction or collagen repair. If you are seeking a product specifically targeted to those issues, look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or peptides like Matrixyl 3000 or Argiriline.
** 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
