Essential Beauty Review

Overview

Essential Beauty is an Australian skin care brand that offers a line of products called L’Ocean, as well as specific beauty services such as permanent hair reduction, waxing, eye enhancements, semi-permanent make up, body piercing, slimming treatments, facials, nail enhancements and tanning. Essential Beauty also offers more specialized treatments such as Microdermabrasion and Photorejuvenation. The L’Ocean skin care line is described on the official website as “skin care from the sea.” Topical products available through this line are moisturizers, exfoliants, masks, toners and cleansers. A convenient contact page is provided on the website for questions and product concerns.

Like many current skin care brands, Essential Beauty offers skin treatments that aim to rebalance skin, re-mineralize, hydrate, heal, detoxify and reduce inflammation. Some of the major active ingredients incorporated into Essential Beauty products are Jojoba Oil (hydrates and conditions skin), Aloe Vera (heals and moisturizes), Seaweed-Emollient, Rose Petal Oil (calms the epidermis), Vitamin E (heals and nourishes skin), Lavender and Hyaluronic Acid (relaxes facial muscles to assist with wrinkle reduction). One of the major pitches for Essential Beauty L’Ocean treatments is that they’re stated to be made from seaweed extracts and sea minerals. Customer feedback for these treatments is not presented on the official website. It’s unknown whether or not Essential Beauty cosmetics/treatments come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The cost of each L’Ocean product is not posted on the official website. In fact, these skin care treatments only appear to be offered physically, through select spas and dealers.

Product Details

Essential Beauty provides L’Ocean skin care treatments to select salons and spas. While these products cannot be acquired through the official website, they can be purchased through certain dealers. In a similar fashion to countless other skin care brands, Essential Beauty endeavors to make topical treatments that assist with wrinkle reduction, puffiness, under-eye circles, facial lines, blemishes, dry skin and irritation. No free trial samples of L’Ocean treatments are available through the official website at this time. Essential Beauty treatments are claimed to offer the “healing properties of vital essential oils, as well as the proven benefits of marine extracts.”

The Good

  • Essential Beauty incorporates marine life extracts and plant oils into their topical treatments.
  • There is a convenient contact page provided on the official website.

The Bad

  • All ingredients for Essential Beauty L’Ocean treatments are not revealed on the website.
  • There are no product prices posted on the official website.
  • Before and after photos cannot be found on the Essential Beauty website.
  • Essential Beauty L’Ocean treatments are not for sale through the website, but must be purchased through select dealers. Most of these seem to be located in Australia, making it difficult to obtain the US.
  • It’s questionable whether or not a satisfaction guarantee is provided with L’Ocean skin care treatments.

The Bottom Line

When it comes down to it, there are countless skin care lines and cosmetic brands currently at your disposal. Although Essential Beauty sounds promising with its use of marine extracts and plant oils, there’s not really any guarantee backing the product line. Naturally it’s nice to encounter beauty products that can be conveniently acquired through the official website, which Essential Beauty treatments cannot. Furthermore, the cost of these topical skin care products is unknown.

Top Choice for 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was our favorite product to introduce, with a patented formula and visible results after only two weeks of use. Matrixyl 3000™, the patented active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by a clinical study showing a reduction in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 44%.

Dermapril-SP is based on research into the mechanisms that enable younger skin to appear firmer, tighter and more supple than older people's skin. The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful appearance by accelerating the natural production of three building blocks: Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation and a dramatically reduced appearance of wrinkles and other signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, hormonal changes and other common factors.

Frequent reported benefits include immediate tightening and firming; smoother, softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and rejuvinated, glowing skin. Dermapril-SP is the only product on the market that combines patented Matrixyl 3000™ and green-tea extracts in a hydrating cream. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction is high and Dermapril-SP offers a free trial, so that customers can fully evaluate the product prior to purchasing it.
