Review of Cosmedix Skincare
The Cosmedix brand of skincare products has been committed to pairing natural ingredients with innovative science to produce effective products for skin improvement since 1999. As a departure from harsh chemicals, their natural ingredients are designed to help customers improve the look of their skin without harmful side effects. Women’s health magazines spent last year touting them for their unique science and natural ingredients. Here’s a review to consider when your checking out the Cosmedix line of skincare:
Compliments:
A Recent Fan Favourite:
In 2015 alone, both Women’s Health magazine and SELF-magazine declared their support for the Cosmedix line of skincare products. Both magazines were impressed with the line of clarifying masks and the restorative results from these products. Refinery29.com also put Cosmedix products on their list of top anti-wrinkle serums and The San Francisco Chronicle called one product “instant skin gratification”. 2015 was a great year for Cosmedix in the media so it might be time to try it.
An Acne Power Fighter:
The Cosmedix Clear line of masks, moisturisers, cleansers and serums is highly rated across web and media outlets for the improvement to acne-prone skin. Components like sulfur and vitamin C have everyone from Teen Vogue to your favourite blogger praising this line of blemish treatments.
Health-minded brand:
Cosmedix is committed to using natural ingredients for skincare solutions. Online reviewers declare the skin feels clean and fresh without harsh effects like rashes or reddening caused by some skincare brands. Skin specialists are recommending it for all skin types but particularly sensitive skin.
Considerations:
Product adaptations:
As with any innovative brand, Cosmedix changes and develops their products as new science and/or ingredients become available and understood. However, this has left many fans of the brand without their favourite product and struggling to find a new solution as theirs becomes outdated. Additionally, some reviewers claimed the company changed a product without changing the name and it resulted in unexpected negative results like skin irritation or dryness. If you are a fan of the brand, plan to buy in bulk to continue using the same product.
Pricing and packaging:
The Cosmedix line of skincare products come in small, beautiful clear and white packaging. Small is the key word here. Many reviewers complain that the pricey products only last about thirty days and that means a high cost and a lot of re-ordering. A few reviewers also claimed to receive malfunctioning serum pumps, which made it hard to get the product out, and were not able to return it.
Cost-Benefit Analysis:
The innovative nature and specialised product line of Cosmedix makes it one of the more expensive skincare lines available. Additionally, online reviews of many products are mixed, at best. While the acne treatments and Clear line have an obvious following, many of the anti-wrinkle and eye treatments have poor reviews for limited improvement. Additionally, the Chirality science employed by Cosmedix is yet to be proven for anti-ageing or skincare results.
Products to Try:
Cosmedix Clear:
This clarifying mask for oily and problem skin was publicised by SELF magazine in 2015 for skin results related to adult acne. The natural mask claims to “draw out pore clogging impurities”. Reviewers saw dramatic improvements in their oily or acne-prone skin but Cosmedix says the exfoliation will also improve drier skin types. SELF magazine appreciates the sulfur components of this product.
Cosmedix Eye Genius Brilliant Eye Complex:
The San Francisco Chronicle say this product will make you look “8 hours of sleep” good. This is quite a recommendation from a city where nobody is getting that much sleep but it is also packed with oxygen boosting Perflourocarbons and mica that can increase skin’s elasticity. It sounds almost too good to be true, and it might be because when we checked, it was out of stock.
