Idebenol |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Idebenol is a beauty product that is described as the “facial antioxidant.” This cream is said to fight against and correct the effects of anti-aging. The maker of this product claims that people who use this cream will experience a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
We always suggest researching a product before use to ensure that its formula is comprised of high quality ingredients, and to ensure that it has been shown to work as advertised. This is why we will take a closer look at Idebenol to determine if it may be a good option for those looking for an anti-aging product.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
There is a posted website for this cream, but it’s not possible to find a complete list of ingredients displayed on the site at this time. However, we are able to find the formula on an independent website, but this list has not been verified by the manufacturer. We feel that this information is important and necessary for individuals, and a trustworthy manufacturer would ensure their customers have access to such details.
Idebenol is said to contain the following ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylene/Acrylic Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Isopentyldiol, Hordeum Distichon (Barley) Extract, Glycereth-26, Methylsilanol Mannuronate, Cetearyl Methicone, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables, Behenyl Alcohol, Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate, C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Wood Extract, Phellodendron Almurense Bark Extract, Dimethicone Yeast Polysaccharides, Linoleic Acid, Soy (Soybean) Sterols, Soy (Soybean) Phospholipids, Xanthan Gum, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Ferula Assa Foetida Root Extract, Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Glucosamine HCL, Algae Extract, Yeast Extract (Faex), Urea, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben and Ehylparaben.

| Ingredients in Focus |
As evident from the above list, this product contains a long list of ingredients. Some people may prefer a product that offers fewer, more concentrated ingredients that are more equipped to address the issue of skincare and aging. Though, this product contains several moisturizing agents, which may lend the skin an appealing glow. Dry skin may accentuate lines and wrinkles, so proper moisture is a preventative step against anti-aging. However, it does not address this issue from a sub-dermal level, and may not provide large results.
Also, this formula contains several Paraben ingredients, which may cause concern for some people. Parabens are contained within many beauty products, since they are thought to effectively preserve the cream or lotion. However, they are also said to be carcinogenic (cancer causing). Some individuals may not feel comfortable using such a product, and may prefer to continue their search.

| Website |
As mentioned, this company posts a product website that interested individuals are able to access. There is a lengthy product description on Idebenol posted on the site. Though, we feel there are key aspects missing. As of review, the site lacks a complete ingredient list, as mentioned earlier, and there is also no cited research to support the claims of the manufacturer. In addition, there are no posted testimonials to indicate the product has worked successfully for people in the past.

| Final Thoughts |
Idebenol is advertised to make people look years younger and to erase wrinkles, creases and lines. These are certainly attractive promises, but we are not confident that the listed formula is able to address this problem from a sub-dermal level. Also, some individuals may be concerned that the product contains several Parabens. This product is rather expensive, and sells for over $100, but some online stores are offering it a reduced price.
We feel there are effective anti-aging products available on the market, and suggest a cream that concentrates on increasing Collagen levels to enhance the appearance of skin. The most effective will usually combine the patented Argireline®, Matrixyl 3000® and Hyaluronic Acid.
