Suave Skin Therapy Advanced Therapy Moisturizer is marketed as a low-cost moisturizer to heal and protect skin. Suave markets other personal care products including soaps and shampoos. Suave products are widely available at department and drug stores and through numerous online retailers.
The Suave Skin Therapy Moisturizer page on the Suave website is reasonably informative, containing a description of the product, a full ingredient list, and application directions. However, we were unable to locate a money-back guarantee which would allow consumers to purchase with confidence. Also, there do not appear to be product samples available through the website although they may be available through retail outlets.
Product Details
Suave Skin Therapy Moisturizer claims to hydrate deeply and to provide fast and long-lasting treatment to dry skin. In reviewing the product’s list of ingredients, we were unable to identify any active ingredient that would cause Suave Skin Therapy Moisturizer to stand out from its thousands of competitors. Suave Skin Therapy Moisturizer contains Vitamins A and E, glycerin, and petrolatum (petroleum jelly). Vitamin E has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and healing effects on the skin, but the research behind Vitamin A’s effect when applied topically is little. Glycerin and petroleum jelly are both softeners that are quite common to mid-quality moisturizers.
The ingredient that disappoints us is methylparaben. Parabens are cosmetic preservatives that are also known allergens. Many higher-quality skin care formulations leave this ingredient out for that reason. Those with skin allergies or sensitivities may wish to consult their doctor or dermatologist before trying this product. Many consumers look for certain clinically-proven ingredients when looking for an anti-aging or moisturizing product. Hyaluronic acid is one ingredient we always look for. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin but diminishes as we age. It can hold over 1,000 times its own weight in water and replacing the body’s supply keeps skin deeply hydrated for an extended period of time. Suave Skin Therapy Moisturizer does not contain this important ingredient.
The Good
- Reasonably priced.
- Widely available at department and drug stores.
The Bad
- Does not contain hyaluronic acid.
- No money-back guarantee offered.
- Contains known allergens.
- May not be effective to restore long term hydration in the skin.
The Bottom Line
Suave Skin Therapy Moisturizer may be adequate as a regular moisturizer but we do not feel it can provide the benefits it claims over the long term. Consumers may wish to look for products that are known to rejuvenate skin and contain proven ingredients. With so many skin care moisturizers on the market today, we find nothing that really stands out from the crowd with this one.
** 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
