What is Relastin Skin Revitalizer?

This is kind of a neat product with a neat story behind it. First let me tell you what this anti aging product does and claims, this cream promises that it’s zinc complex will penetrate past the epidermis (the upper most layers of skin) into the dermis (the lower layers of skin) and help to promote the skin to naturally make its own elastin. Elastin is found in young skin and is widely known as a key to wrinkle free skin. The story behind this anti-aging cream is that Dr. Dr. Jacob Waugh was working on a way to move drugs across membranes to improve treatments for heart disease by using zinc. Well after the lab results came back, they were surprised by the size and health of the veins that were being affected by this zinc complex and soon Dr. Waugh saw how this was actually increasing natural elastin production and they soon put this innovative science into a skin cream and made it available to the public.

 

 

Relastin Skin Revitalizer Ingredient Profile

The superstar ingredient in this cream is what they call the Zinc Firming Complex. They claim that this is the first technology clinically proven to increase the elastin in your skin. They don’t explain exactly what it is about this Zinc Complex that causes the elastin to form but I did find a good quote from a Dr. William Wershler MD

“Relastin Zinc Complex (Revance) can help firm the skin by inducing functional elastin production. I find this product particularly intriguing, as functional elastin production does not occur in humans post-development”

Final Thoughts

I was surprised that I had never heard of this anti aging cream before. As I have taken time to look into it, I am actually impressed. They offer before and after pictures to the public, have clinical studies available and that they have high customer reviews and testimonials. This cream appears to be a good product. I wish they offered a few more peptides and antioxidants along with the zinc complex and maybe a sunscreen because I feel like those are important part of a good skin cream, but when it comes to elastin production this cream seems to have it in the bag. The other thing that is a bit disappointing is that you still need to use a separate moisturizer with this cream; I wish it was an all in one cream. It would make spending the $69 asked for this cream a little easier to spend the money on.

The cost of this cream is $69 for 1.7 fl oz. and can be purchased mostly through online retailers.
