The Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care company was created in 1993 by Peter Thomas Roth, who is the son of a Hungarian spa/hotel operator. Peter had an interest in skin care from an early age and as an adult he sought to treat his own skin problems such as acne, fine lines, and sunspots. The goal of Peter Thomas Roth products is to use potent and effective ingredients combined with advanced scientific technology to create a wide variety of products that can meet the needs of those with specific skin problems and varied skin types.

The line of products created by Peter Thomas Roth specifically for the treatment of aging skin is called Un-Wrinkle. There are four different products available in the Un-Wrinkle line and they are the Un-Wrinkle serum, eye, night, and peel pads. Each of the products in the Un-Wrinkle line contains various blends of peptides and neuro-peptides and the products claim to be a “pain-free alternative” to Botox.

Product Details

The Un-Wrinkle line of Peter Thomas Roth is marketed to those looking to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as help hydrate their skin. The official website claims that this line of products will help your skin look younger, clearer, and have a more even tone. Men and women are both encouraged to make use of these products.

The key components in the Un-Wrinkle line are peptides of various forms combined with some anti-oxidants and natural extracts. The Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Serum contains: Water (Aqua), Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Tripeptide, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Phospholipids, Dimethicone PEG-7 Phosphate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3, Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Propylene Glycol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, PEG-75, Bisabolol, Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Extract, Oleth-2, Triethanolamine, Oleth-5, Xanthan Gum, Yellow 5, Red 33, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Vanilla Essential Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride.

The Good

  • You can purchase all of the Peter Thomas Roth products from the official website.
  • There are tons of different products available. The four listed here are just the Un-Wrinkle line.
  • The full list of ingredients is provided with each product.

2

The Bad

  • Peter Thomas Roth doesn’t seem to be a licensed dermatologist and doesn’t seem to have much experience.
  • Many products contain parabens which may irritate your skin.
  • There is no money-back guarantee on the products.
  • You may have to use sunscreen in addition to the Peter Thomas Roth products, since some products can cause heightened sun sensitivity.

The Bottom Line

There are many anti-wrinkle treatments out there that claim to do what Peter Thomas Roth products do, but they have an advantage. We would like to see more testimonials regarding Peter Thomas Roth products or some clinical studies and product trial testing data posted on the official. Even a money back guarantee or a free product sample for new users would help this product line in the highly competitive anti-aging market.

** Our Top Skin Care Choice **

Nue Science Bottle

Top Wrinkle Cream for 2012: Nue Science

Editor's Review: 4.8 / 5.0

After 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 Go



Hydrolyze Bottle

(Optional- For Enhanced Results): Hydrolyze

Editor's Review: 4.6 / 5.0

After 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 Go

    I have been looking for a product with obvious results and I found it with Peter Roth’s Un-wrinkle product. I have been using for only a couple of days and can already see a result in the relaxing of the lines on my forehead! I’m actually really suprised at how well it worked so fast. I’ll see if it has any adverse effects over long term use(my skin breaking out, etc.) but for now I love it!

    I recently purchased, on-line, your anti-aging eye illuminator. However, there is no instruction as to how to apply this. Is it used with a sponge applicator used for regular shadow or, if there is a specific way to apply this I would appreciate your advising me what that is. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

    I love love PTR products. I am in my early 50’s and I can recommend this for woman of my age. The lines on my forehead have flatened (not disspeared) and are less pronounced. The moisture that has gone back into my skin is fabulous. If you like PTR, definitely try the Un-Wrinkle Foundation. I use the Mega Rich Creme and Mega Rich Eye, foundation and top off with your favorite powder. I look so much better. For night I recommend the Retinol Infusion with Un-Wrinkle Night and Mega Rick Eye Creme to get started. The product is pricey, but well worth it. I am a product guru and this is a fabulous product. I have now included the face cleanser and bath bead gel into my daily regimen. Leave the Clinque for the younsters, this is one for us beautiful aging menopause women. This is one product line that you spend a little more but you will be so happy. :)

    This review sounds very professional! I’m suspect that it may be generated from a Pater Roth insider. Comments?

    I am flattered you think I am a professional. No, I am not a PTR insider. I did work for Lancome years ago so maybe I have the savvy of writing it that way. This is a great product. It’s working for me.
    Hope you have a chance to try it. You can purchase a starter kit. That’s what I did and feel in love with it.
    Sephora can give you samples too. Good luck!

    I too just recently purchased the starter kit and foundation of PTR products. Love it, love it. Moisture is back, lines are less noticeable and my husband has noticed the difference. Thanks to the staff at Sephora that introduced me to PTR products.

    I have just started using the un-wrinkle starter kit and noticed immediate results. I am surprised that one of “The Bad(s)” is that you have to use sunscreen. Using sunscreen is NOT optional at any age.
