Introduction & Overview |
Bio-Qi is a skincare system marketed towards women looking for multiple forms of support for reducing the appearance of fine lines, sagging skin and wrinkles. The four-piece set is said to consist of a Bamboo Salt cleanser, a soothing serum, an antioxidant cream and a microdermabrasion scrub. The formulas may consist of botanicals and other naturally derived ingredients.
There are many different products to choose from in today’s skincare products marketplace, but not all may deliver results as advertised. Many products may be promoted by their parent companies as the most effective formulas, but they may not be backed up properly. We will examine this system closely to find out if it may be as effective as advertised.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
The four different components in the system are said to share some of the following ingredients: Allantoin, Green Tea Extract, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Pro-Element Trio, Copper-Magnesium and Zinc Polypeptides, Superoxide Dismutase, Aluminum Oxide Crystals, Antioxidants and Botanicals. There may be additional undeclared ingredients.
Considering an official website does not seem to be available at time of review, it may be difficult to verify whether the products in fact contain the aforementioned ingredients. We feel that is the drawback of referring to unofficial sources for product details. We are most concerned about the possibility that the formulas may contain harmful components.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Alpha Lipoic Acid may be commonly found in cosmetics and skincare products, since it has a reputation for promoting multiple health-related benefits. Some proponents believe this ingredient has antioxidant properties and may fight free radicals. It is also thought to promote liver health, though some of these claims may not have been verified at time of review.
Some women may be familiar with the purported health-boosting benefits of Green Tea Extract, which is said to have been used for generations in Eastern cultures for various purposes. It may be best recognized for its benefits when consumed either in tea or supplement form, with advertised benefits, like weight loss, enhanced metabolism and more energy.

| Lifestyle |
We note that it may be difficult to use this product over a long period of time, considering it has four different components that must be used daily. Some women may already incorporate multiple products to meet their skincare needs, but some of the higher-end skincare creams on the market may be potent enough to be used in and of themselves.
Although this skincare system may be advertised as backed by years of research and anecdotal evidence, we would like to see some clinical evidence before jumping on the bandwagon. Clinical studies may be especially important for determining some of the potential side effects that may occur, and for seeing how the products may perform over a long period of time.

|
| Final Thoughts |
Bio-Qi may be advertised as one of the most potent skincare systems on the market, but we note that there may be more questions than answers at time of review. We would like to get a better sense of what other ingredients may be included in the formulations. We would also like to learn about any studies that may have been conducted on the products.
Some of the more reputable skincare products may also be backed by an ample amount of consumer testimonials (typically on their official websites), but such an invaluable resource may not be readily available at time of review. We also note that select products may come with money-back guarantees for women who like to try a product before committing to it.
