Epicuren® |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Epicuren® is a line of skincare products, like eye creams, facial cleansers, body lotion and so on. Epicuren® is a cosmetics company offering a number of similarly formulated skin care products. As such, many of us may wonder why a cosmetics company would churn out a number of topical skincare applications. We tend to believe more in a manufacturer that has one effective product with a proven combination of ingredients.
Thus, to many of us, believing in a manufacturer that alone offers over half a dozen skincare products for wrinkles may be quite a step. Furthermore, the fact that the Epicuren® line of “treatment” products seem to be more about acne treatments and “enzyme”-based treatments may suggest that they are not about wrinkle and other signs of aging. Therefore, we will take a look at Epicuren® Treatments to conclude whether they may really provide the wonderful results they promise.

| Products at a Glance |
Epicuren® promotes a remarkable number of skincare products. Its Treatments line is actually categorized into the following: Professional Treatments, Specialty Facial Treatments, Enzyme Complex Treatments, Prescription Skin Treatments, and Restorative Skin Treatments. While the Restorative Skin Treatments is all about acne, the Enzyme Complex Treatments seems to be about “hydrating for excellent makeup base.”

| Products in Focus |
Since the company does not seem to specifically market any product for wrinkle treatment, we believe that those looking for an effective anti-aging topical application may be disappointed by the Epicuren® Treatments line. However, their Specialty Facial Treatments line promotes a couple of Collagen- and Retinol-based creams as aiding in reducing deep and fine lines. Among them, we especially like Pro-Collagen III, the Collagen-based cream. Broadly speaking, Collagen is the main connective tissue in animals, and as such, it plays a vital role in replenishing dead cells and tissues in our skin.

| Lifestyle |
We believe that when it comes to skin rejuvenation, topical applications with fresh Collagen may a better way to boost its supply, rather than taking it in a capsule form. Many people seem to prefer using a hydrating and moisturizing cream that naturally increases the body’s production of Collagen. We believe that it may be more hassle to have to take pills everyday. In fact, there seem to be some really effective anti-aging creams out there with scientifically advanced ingredients, like Matrixyl 3000®, which has been specifically formulated to boost Collagen levels in the skin.

| Final Thoughts |
Without a doubt, many of us may be initially attracted by the fact that Epicuren® seems to have a variety of products available. However, we believe that the best manufacturer will actually promote only one proven anti-wrinkle cream or serum. We belive this gives their products credibility, as well as demonstrates the company’s customer service commitment. Furthermore, we feel it shows when a manufacturer puts in a lot of care and effort to formulate one great product, as opposed to an array of mediocre items.
Thus, it appears that an educated individual will first look at topical applications that have been proven to successfully reduce the visible signs of aging. We find the best creams will have ingredients that have been proven to not only lubricate and exfoliate the skin, but also to actively eliminate dead cells, thereby reducing dryness and flaking. Among such products, those with fresh Collagen and scientifically advanced ingredients, like Matrixyl 3000®, may be worth a trial. Another way to evaluate a product may be to also look at the return and refund policies.
