Cellucur AHA Complex Creme |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Cellucur AHA Complex Creme, by Derma Technologies LLC, is, as evident from its name, an Alpha Hydroxy Acids-based product. Derma Technologies LLC is actually an American distributor of a number of European-based skincare products. As such, many of us may wonder at the commitment of the company to back one specific product. We believe more in a manufacturer that has one effective product with a proven combination of ingredients.
There are a number of anti-aging creams and other topical applications available nowadays that are based on Alpha Hydroxy Acids. We usually welcome such products; however, we believe that when it comes to reducing the visible signs of aging, there may be better ingredients out there. Therefore, we will take a look at Cellucur AHA Complex Creme, and such topical applications in general, to conclude whether it may really provide the wonderful results it promises.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
Cellucur AHA Complex Creme contains the following ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Glycolic (Sugar Cane), Citric (Citris Fruits), Wine, Lactic Acid (Milk), Vitamin E Acetate and Urea. Although we like the inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid, we believe that the formula starkly lacks a number of proven ingredients, like Collagen and Argireline®.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Alpha Hydroxy 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 associated with using Alpha Hydroxy Acids, like skin irritations, redness and flaking. They may also increase photosensitivity to the sun.
Hyaluronate, on the other hand, may effectively retain skin hydration and lubrication, and is actually naturally produced by the skin. Nowadays, the ingredient may have become so popular as to be available as injection-based applications. However, this method may be very expensive, not to mention painful and requiring multiple visits to a qualified physician. The best way, we believe, is to use it in a topical form.

| Website |
The fact that the official website for Derma Technologies LLC 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 expressly mentions 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 website mentions that this formula needs to be applied under the direction and care of an aesthetician.

| Positives |
• Contains Sodium Hyaluronate
• Is a topical application
• Manufacturer has official online presence

• No online testimonials on the product as of this review

| Final Thoughts |
In the end, although we like some of the ingredients, we are not really sure about the product as a whole. For one thing, the concentrations of the ingredients in the formula are not even clear. The manufacturer also fails to list extensive testimonials that may be used to gauge the efficacy of the product.
Therefore, an alternative may be to look up and research other topical creams. As we age, our supply of Collagen also depletes. The skin starts loosing its ability to replenish new tissues and age lines, and wrinkles start to form. When this happens, it is necessary to ensure that the skin is properly hydrated and moisturized. Instead of using harsh chemicals and unknown ingredients, it may thus be wiser to trust a proven, effective and patented formula. There are some high quality products that effectively boost the Collagen supply and continuously hydrate the skin tissues. Clinical research illustrates that four of the most advanced anti-aging elements currently on the market are: Argireline®, Matrixyl 3000®, fresh Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid. The most reputable products will combine all four of these ingredients, and usually offer a money-back guarantee.
