In its latest issue, the magazine 60 million consumers has embarked on a test bench for anti-wrinkle serums. Results ? Among the ten references tested, the best is a French brand.
Anti-wrinkle serums, real efficiency or marketing? This is the question that 60 million consumers tried to answer in its last issue with a test bench of ten references. To do this, panelists have tested the products on half of the face for 28 days and have fulfilled a questionnaire on sensoriality, comfort of use, and the performance felt on the smoothing, plumping, brilliance … But that is not all: the composition of the serums has also been evaluated, taking into account the risks for health and the environment, giving rise to what the media calls the Cosmeto’score. Result ? On the first step of the podium, there is an anti-wrinkle product of French brand. You may have even tried it.
Let’s already push up an open door: none is acclaimed for its extraordinary efficiency on wrinkles. On the other hand, a serum stands out. Enriched with retinol, soy oil and castor oil, it promises to smooth the skin, delay the appearance of wrinkles and stimulate the production of collagen, all in four weeks. The A61 wrinkles and wrinkles of the Typology brand thus comes out with the very honorable note of 14.8/20. At the Cosmeto’Score on health and the environment, the product obtains an A (that is the best mention), on the anti-wrinkle effect felt, hydration, sparkle, convenience of use and comfort of use, again it receives good notes. Obviously, do not expect a miracle but “Even if the anti -wrinkle performance is not manifest, the panelists remain satisfied and this from the sixteenth day for Typology“, Can we read in the magazine. The downside? The smoothing side of the serum which is not there according to the participants in the test. On the price side, the brand displays the product at 38 € on its site. Yes, the anti-aging has a cost.
In second place, the Vichy liftactiv serum obtains the score of 14.6/20. If he has good mentions overall, he obtains a B at Cosmeto’Score Health. This may be due to the presence of irritating ingredients. In the rest of the ranking, we find products from Filorga, SVR, Lierac, Avène, Sephora, Kiehl’s, and Caudalie. Finally, La Roche-Posay closes the walk.
The first common point of these serums? They all bet on the presence of assets such as hyaluronic acid, retinol or even niacinamide for the anti-aging effect, with more or less success. The second? “”Failing to fill the wrinkles, the serums will meet other expectations. The panelists judge these serums easy to apply and pleasant to use in terms of texture, perfume, ect. They give them the impression of better hydrated, firmer, more radiant skin, with fewer imperfections“, Specifies the media.
