DDF Wrinkle Relax Review - Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula

  

 

 

$88 for 0.5 oz

DDF Wrinkle Relax is a great example of a good wrinkle remover gone bad because of its hefty pricetag and packaging.

Breakdown of Active Ingredients:

• Palmotoyl Pentapeptide 3 (Matrixyl): Shown to reduce collagen loss.
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline): Shown to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by easing muscle contraction. 
• Sodium Hyaluronate: Water-binding ingredient with good hydration properties.

So where does this wrinkle remover go wrong? Let’s start with the packaging. Clear packaging exposes the product to light which will oxidize the ingredients quickly. Additionally, they use a pump bottle system. Although a big improvement over jar packaging, the pump system is not airless. At this pricetag, airless packaging is expected. As such the product will still be exposed to air and oxidize, rendering the product inactive fast. 

While not a bad formulation, at this price point there is a lot that could be improved upon. There are better formulations out there that have more active ingredients and better packaging to keep those active ingredients fresh for longer - and still are priced less than a whopping $88 for 0.5 oz. Keep shopping!

Verdict: Good, but Pricey
