Phytomer Review

Overview

The company Phytomer, which produces a range of skin care products, was created in St. Malo in Brittany, France, in 1971. The skin care products within this range are based on marine by-products, such as cellulose, algae and seaweed. There is an official website for the skin care range by Phytomer. The website is available in English and French. Although it is a detailed and well constructed website, products cannot be ordered directly from the official manufacturer.

Product Details

The Phytomer range of skin care products are linked to spas that carry this range. One of the main Phytomer Spas is in Saint Malo in France, where the product was created. The official website contains a search engine where you can locate other Spas that carry Phytomer products, as well as locate retail stores in France and worldwide where you can purchase their products. At the time of writing this review, this search engine which enabled you to locate where you can buy Phytomer products worldwide was rather difficult to navigate. There are, however, a number of online stores from which Phytomer products can be ordered.

The range of skin care products is mainly made up of cleansers and moisturizers, and we have the impression that anti-aging products are not really their speciality. One cream by Phytomer that is marketed as a climate protector and an anti-aging cream is the Rich Thermo Cream, which we are told contains algae and cellulose. This is the only anti aging product information that the official website contains. We therefore have no idea what distinguishes the Rich Thermo cream by Phytomer from other anti-aging creams available for sale that also contains algae. It was hard to find a price for this product, since the official website does not carry information regarding the price of its products, and the Rich Thermo Protection cream does not seem to be for sale in on line shops that carry products by Phytomer.

The Good

  • There is an official website for the skin care range by Phytomer.
  • The Phytomer skin range is based on natural ingredients, mainly sea algae.
  • The official website is available in both French and English.

The Bad

  • The official website does not contain price details of products for sale.
  • The majority of products in Phytomer’s skin care range are not anti aging products.
  • There was a lack of detailed product information regarding the Rich Thermo Protection Cream by Phytomer.
  • It is not clear what distinguishes the Phytomer Skin Care products from other similar products that contain marine algae.

The Bottom Line

There is not enough detailed product information on the official website to enable us to ascertain whether Phytomer’s main anti-aging skin product is superior to other brands that contain marine algae. Marine algae can also be a source of allergic reaction for some users.

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.
