The Fresh company makes and sells several skin and body care products, hair care products, soaps, fragrances, and even products for men. Fresh has been in business since 1991. Fresh Elixir Ancien is based on the old tradition of oil therapy. The formula contains “precious oils” which are claimed to offer consumers enhanced cell regeneration, toning, plumping, and firming of the skin, and the product also claims to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Product Details
Fresh Elixir Ancien includes the following ingredients: Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Hippophae, Rhamnoides Oil, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Oil, Commiphora Myrrha Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis, (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Propylene Glycol, Propyl, Gallate, and Citric Acid.
The active ingredients in Fresh Elixir Ancien work in the following ways: Seabuckthorn oil is a powerful antioxidant that is enriched with high amounts of omega 7 fatty acids. This is said to enhance cell regeneration of the skin. Amino acids which are derived from palm trees and biotechnology are used to firm the skin while also lifting and toning. The Comminphora Extract is a resin that Fresh claims has “age-reversing properties” that will plump the skin immediately to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The Good
- Customers get free shipping on orders over $50.00 from Fresh, which means the Elixir Ancien gets free shipping even if it is the only product ordered.
- Customers get three free product samples with every order from Fresh.
The Bad
- This product is too expensive for the average consumer at $250.00 for a very small container of the elixir.
- Fresh does not provide information about clinical trials and scientific data which would substantiate claims of Elixir Ancien’s effectiveness in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Fresh Elixir Ancien does not contain the most effective anti-aging ingredients such as Matrixyl-3000, Argireline, and Hyaluronic Acid.
The Bottom Line
Fresh is a fairly unknown brand within the skin care industry and certainly does not have as big of a reputation as some of its competitors who also offer anti-aging products. Because Fresh Ancien Elixir is so expensive, consumers will be looking for proof that the product works. Unfortunately, Fresh does not provide customer testimonials or before & after photos to demonstrate product effectiveness. At the time of this review, we could also not find information on Fresh’s clinical trials performed to develop Elixir Ancien. As opposed to “precious oils”, most consumers are looking for products with proven ingredients which will improve the look of lines and wrinkles on the skin. Fortunately, Fresh does offer a fifteen day return and refund policy if you purchase Elixir Ancien through the company’s official website, but not if you get a hold of it from a third-party web vendor.
** 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
