Artistry Time Defiance™ |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Artistry Time Defiance™ is a set of topical skincare products advertised as formulated to “repair and prevent the signs of premature aging.” The topical solutions, meant to be used together as a comprehensive regimen, may reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other unwanted blemishes, according to the manufacturer, Amway™.
There are many companies out there that market sets of five or more products that are intended to be used together. Some women may like the idea of such a comprehensive approach to skincare, but others may find it cumbersome to have to manage so many different items. We will get a closer look at this company’s products to see what their benefits may be.

| Products at a Glance |
According to the company’s official website, this skincare system may be comprised of some of the following topical products: Daytime Protection Creme, Nighttime Renewal Creme, Nighttime Renewal Lotion, Vitamin C + Wild Yam and Intensive Repair Serum. Unfortunately, we feel it is unclear whether these products may be purchased separately or not.
The manufacturer indicates that the creams and lotions may contain Defense Complex 3.0, supposedly “the first antioxidant complex designed to neutralize free radicals at each stage of their damaging chain reaction.” The Daytime Protection Creme, according to the company, may protect the skin against sun damage with the inclusion of SPF 15.

| Products in Focus |
Unfortunately, detailed information about the Nighttime Renewal Creme and the Nighttime Renewal Lotion is not posted on the website at time of review. This concerns us for many reasons: some women may wish to know what the specific ingredients are before buying the products; usage instructions are missing; and we speculate that these products aren’t mentioned because they may be ineffective.
The Vitamin C + Wild Yam formula may consist of ingredients like Nutrilite-Approved L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C and Exclusive Wild Yam. The company says these two ingredients combine to form 20 percent of the formula, so we are left wondering what the remaining 80 percent consists of. Hopefully, there are no harmful ingredients hidden.

The company may claim that these products combine to offer comprehensive support for reducing the signs of aging, but we feel it could do a better job of backing up such ideas. For instance, the manufacturer says the system “reduces the appearance of wrinkles by over 50 percent, improves skin firmness by 25 percent and elasticity by 19 percent in just 12 weeks.”
We note that any company is able to throw numbers around to try to give some credibility to its products, but we question whether these numbers are backed by sound clinical research. Some of the higher-quality anti-aging products on the market have been shown in rigorous clinical studies to be both effective in delivering advertised results and safe.

|
| Negatives |

• A 100 percent money-back guarantee may not be available

| Final Thoughts |
Artistry Time Defiance™ may be marketed as a convenient five-in-one skincare system for women, but we believe there may be more efficient alternatives on the market. Ingredients like Vitamin C, Wild Yam and antioxidants may be honorable for their general health-promoting qualities, but we believe the truly promising anti-wrinkle formulas would contain higher-end ingredients.
The official website may be somewhat informative, considering each product has its own page with a product description, but we notice that a consumer testimonials section is not available at time of review. We find testimonials enable people to share what their experiences with a product may have been like, so we hope the company addresses this in a timely manner. The most effective formulas currently available online usually provide an ample amount of feedback and are supported by a complete money-back guarantee.
