Product Description
StriVectin-SD is a cutting edge anti-wrinkle and stretch mark repair cream which can help you look younger and more beautiful by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other effects of aging. This revolutionary anti-aging cream utilizes the most advanced ingredients available today. The active ingredients not only help to firm, hydrate, and tighten facial skin but also help to repair the appearance of fines lines and stretch marks. To achieve these results StriVectin-SD uses a patented pentapeptide that has produced results unseen in the cosmetic industry. Together with a host of the industry's best anti-aging ingredients our blend targets major problem areas like sagging skin, skin discoloration, dryness and rough skin; not just wrinkles. And you can be sure to see these results immediately! StriVectin-SD has come to be known as the safe alternative to Botox, providing equal or better results without the risk. StriVectin-SD offers immediate results targeting the category of fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet and can remove 10-15 years from your complexion. The isolates in StriVectin-SD were shown in clinical studies to dramatically improve skin smoothness and decrease wrinkle depth as it increases collagen and elastin. It was shown to be even more effective than Retinol or Vitamin C in reducing fine facial lines and wrinkles while diminishing the signs of aging.

 A great skin cream! July 28, 2004

I purchased this product which was originally manufactured for stretch marks as a facial cream (which it is now marketed for)After the first month I noticed a great difference with decreased undereye puffiness and the fine lines around my eyes. Now, not only did I notice, but many of my friends made comments too. I've revealed my secret and feel it is well worth the cost. I would also like to mention, this is a BIG tube of cream. It is very decieving, you are definately getting your moneys worth here ladies.

Comparative Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin Type A and Topical Creams for Treating Moderate-to-Severe Glabellar Rhytids.
Beer KR.
BACKGROUND: Several nonprescription products purport similar or better outcomes than botulinum toxin type A (Botox Cosmetic, Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) for treating wrinkles, but these have not been documented in comparative clinical trials. Patients spend millions of dollars annually on the topical products, yet there are, to date, no data to support any of the claims made. OBJECTIVE : To compare the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin type A with placebo and three topical products in treating moderate-to-severe glabellar lines. METHODS: This single-center, randomized, investigator-blinded, parallel study of 77 female subjects comprised five treatment groups: botulinum toxin type A, placebo injection, StriVectin-SD (Klein-Becker USA, Salt Lake City, UT, USA), DDF Wrinkle Relax (Doctor's Dermatologic Formula, HDS Cosmetics, Inc., Yonkers, NY, USA), and HydroDerm (Hydroderm, Beverly Hills, CA, USA). Baseline and follow-up visits (weeks 4, 8, and 12) assessed safety and key efficacy measures: blinded investigator assessment of glabellar line severity on the Facial Wrinkle Scale (FWS), subjects' global assessment of overall change in appearance, subject ratings of glabellar-related self-perception pre- and post-treatment, and satisfaction with treatment. RESULTS: Botulinum toxin type A treatment consistently resulted in statistically significant reductions in wrinkle severity on the FWS than any comparator (p < .001).
Statistically significant improvements were similarly observed for subject-reported outcomes and satisfaction with botulinum toxin type A treatment, whereas treatment with any of the three topical creams did not result in a significant difference from placebo. Three adverse events occurred in three subjects who received StriVectin-SD.
CONCLUSION: Botulinum toxin type A provided significantly greater efficacy and patient satisfaction in the treatment of glabellar frown lines than StriVectin-SD, Wrinkle Relax, and HydroDerm, and in the objective measurements used, none of the topical preparations were better than botulinum toxin.

Didn't see any results...smell is horrible January 29, 2005

I personally did not experience any noticeable results after 30 days. Also, the smell is just horrible. The company claims that it is peppermint, but to me it smells like that plus rancid oil. Not pleasant at all. It would have been bearable if it had worked at all!!
But the good news is that I contacted the seller from whom I purchased the cream through Amazon.com and they initiated an immediate refund.
That is commendable.
Stangely Odd or Caveat emptor October 3, 2006

I find it strangely odd that everyone who gave this product a fantastic review:
1. Has only ever reviewed one product on Amazon
2. All seem to have been posted on the 24th.
Caveat emptor.
The best facial cream! February 17, 2006

This is the second tube of StriVectin-SD I have purchased and am 100% satisfied.
What is immediate to me is the feel of my skin. My face feels ultra soft. I also notice a healthy glow after using this cream for 2 weeks. I am starting to get slight frown lines and after using this cream for about 4 weeks I notice a definite improvement. The frown lines are less pronounced. I do use this around my eyes (I cannot rationalize spending additional money on the eye cream) and have no problem with eye irritation.
I do not find the smell offensive in anyway.
A tiny, tiny amount goes a long way as this cream is very concentrated!
I use it twice per day. Once rubbed into your skin until all traces of the cream have disappeared you will notice a slight warming effect, which is not unpleasant at all.
I for one, am a true believer in this cream and will continue to purchase it. A tube of this will last around 6+ months when used sparingly.
