GLY DERM® Hydrotone |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
GLY DERM® Hydrotone is a topical skincare product for women advertised as capable of reducing the visible signs of aging associated with wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, under-eye circles, crow’s feet and more. Manufactured and marketed by a company called Gly Derm, the product is marketed as having a powerful, all-natural formulation.
Many women may find that this product is not as innovative or potent as advertised, much to their disappointment. This appears to be a trend in the cosmetics industry; many companies may make lofty claims about a product’s purported effectiveness without backing them up. We will get a closer look at this topical solution to see what its benefits may be.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
Some sources claim the product’s formula may consist of some of the following ingredients: Propyl Paraben, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methyl Paraben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Lemon Fruit Extract, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Propylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Mineral Oil and Water. There may be other unmentioned ingredients.
According to the manufacturer, this product “is an elegant and richly emollient all-purpose moisturizer.” The company also markets the liquid-based solution towards women who have normal skin and also those who have dry skin. Women with sensitive skin may also find a use for this product, according to advertisements, if used as directed.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Mineral Oil may be found in many other skincare products on the market, including those formulated for use on babies’ skin and other sensitive types of skin. Proponents say this substance may be useful for moisturizing the skin, while offering a softer and younger-looking appearance. It may not, however, be the ideal substance for meeting anti-aging needs.
Women who would like to try a product that offers both moisturizing benefits and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines may have to look elsewhere. Some of the higher-end anti-wrinkle creams are known to contain powerful, yet safe ingredients, like Hyaluronic Acid, Argireline®, Matrixyl 3000® and Collagen. This combination is believed to be among the leading formulas.

| Lifestyle |
We are disappointed that this formula does not contain some of the most potent anti-aging ingredients currently available. These include Hyaluronic Acid and Argireline®. When these two elements are paired with the Collagen stimulator, Matrixyl 3000®, in addition to fresh Collagen, the results may be particularly pleasing.
The manufacturer advises women to wash their face with a cleanser (marketed by the company) before applying this moisturizer. The company also instructs users to “apply moisturizer sparingly to skin.” There are no further instructions posted on the official website at time of review. We would like to know whether the product may be combined with existing skincare regimens.

| Final Thoughts |
GLY DERM® Hydrotone may be marketed as powerful for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but we believe there may be more potent formulas on the market. We are disappointed that the product seems to lack a high-quality set of ingredients. The relatively low per-bottle price of about $16 at time of review may indicate low overall quality in the formulation.
We are glad to see that the product may be purchased online at several retailers’ websites, considering many women today may wish to meet their shopping needs through the Web. However, we wish the company would also offer a money-back guarantee and post consumer testimonials online. Both may be important tools for the discerning individual. The more reputable products usually provide these features.
