Cellex-C Betaplex |

Introduction & Overview |
Betaplex Line Smoother, by Cellex-C, may be yet another beauty product that may really not do anything to address skin rejuvenation. Yet, the product, and similar other products featuring similar ingredients, is marketed as something that “helps stimulate new skin cells to the surface by encouraging dry, lifeless old cells to fall away.” However, to its credit, the product has an official online presence.
As we age, the production of Collagen starts decreasing. As a result, our skin starts looking old and flaky, and wrinkles start to form. However, advances in science have found ways to reduce such wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin tone. Therefore, we will take a look at Cellex-C Betaplex Line Smoother, and such topical applications in general, to conclude whether it may really deliver the wonderful results it promises.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
Cellex-C Betaplex Line Smoother contains the following ingredients: Water (Aqua), Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Malic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Willow Bark (Salix Alba) Extract, and Phenoxyethanol. An interesting feature about Betaplex Line Smoother is that it is not a cream; instead, it is a clear “gel” that comes in a 30 ml glass bottle with an “applicator,” which may not be anything more than a dropper.

| Ingredients in Focus |
The underlying element in Betaplex™ is Alpha Hydroxy Acids. These acids may be found naturally in fruits and sour milk, as well as in the form of synthetically produced compounds. They are often found in products claiming to reduce wrinkles or the signs of aging, and improve the overall look and feel of the skin. However, for some, there may be mild side effects to using Alpha Hydroxy Acids, like skin irritations, redness and flaking. It is said they may also increase photosensitivity to the sun.
In fact, Cellex-C markets a number of other skin-rejuvenating products, including creams that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids. his may raise questions as to why the company offers so many products and not one effective formulation with all of the effective components. However, we like the inclusion of Sodium Hyaluronate in the formula. Hyaluronate may effectively retain skin hydration and lubrication, and is actually naturally produced by the skin.

| Website |
The fact that the official website for Cellex-C does not explain at length about the product may raise important questions regarding the safety of using the formula. We believe that a responsible manufacturer will expressly mention the strength of the extracted ingredients. Furthermore, we like it better when the exclusive and official website also sells the product through a secure connection. The page dedicated to the product by the manufacturer website seems lacking because there are no testimonials and links to studies and evaluations at time of review.
|
| Positives |
• Contains Sodium Hyaluronate
• Is a topical application
• Manufacturer has official online presence
|
| Negatives |
• Does not contain proven ingredients, like Collagen and Argireline®
• No online testimonials on the product as of this review
• The price to size ratio may not be that attractive
• Official manufacturer website dedicates only one page to the product
|
| Final Thoughts |
We believe a really effective product not only has an exclusive online presence and excellent customer service, but is also backed by testimonials and real results. Furthermore, we find a successful, and thus dependable, manufacturer will focus on marketing only one effective product. In these regards, we believe Betaplex™ fails to be an impressive product.
In the end, we feel choosing a skin rejuvenating cream is all about the ingredients. The best products will have ingredients that have been proven to not only lubricate and exfoliate the skin, but also actively eliminate dead cells, thereby reducing the flaking. Furthermore, we also like a beauty cream that contains Collagen. Collagen is the main protein of connective tissues. It has been found to be the primary agent in strengthening blood vessels and in developing new tissues, especially in the skin. Thus, products with Collagen and other proven ingredients, like Argireline®, Matrixyl 3000® and Hyaluronic Acid, may be the best available.
