Jericho Mineral Serum |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Jericho Mineral Serum is a topical solution marketed towards women who may be interested in reducing the appearance of fine lines and other visible signs of aging. Some of the purported benefits of using this product include moisturizing, smoothing and an overall improved complexion. The company claims the formula consists of basic ingredients.
The product in question may be promoted as superior to the competition, but we note that there may actually be numerous anti-wrinkle creams and lotions that are quite similar. Women may wish to get a better understanding of such products to avoid purchasing those that may be mediocre. We will get a closer look at the product to find out if it may be as effective as advertised.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
According to the product’s official website, the formulation may consist of some of the following ingredients: Demineralised Water, Hydroxyethyl, Ethylcellulose, PEG-8, Methyl Gluceth 20, Glycolic Acid, Methyl Paraben, Bearberry Extract, Propyl Paraben, Seaweed Extract, Dead Sea Salt, Camellia Sinensis Extract, Fragrance and other similar extracts.
The manufacturer claims that these ingredients fall under the umbrella of “an advanced complex of revitalizing and anti-aging components and Vitamins based in Green Tea Leaf Extract, Dead Sea Minerals and Seaweed.” The company seems to uphold these ingredients as exceptional anti-aging agents, but we believe there may be better alternatives.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Green Tea Extract has supposedly been used for many generations in East Asian cultures for various health-promoting purposes. Taken commonly in liquid-based tea form, it is believed to be a good source of Caffeine and antioxidants, which may be useful for fighting free radicals. However, it may not be as promising for reducing the signs of aging.
Seaweed and Kelp may also be found in many different skincare products for their purported benefits for improving skin tone and having a smoothing effect. These ingredients may be comprised of a number of nutrients and other natural components, but we wish this specific combination underwent rigorous clinical testing in a controlled environment.

| Lifestyle |
Clinical studies may be important for numerous reasons, including some of those mentioned above. We feel that products that haven’t been tested may not be able to stand the test of time; there may be many more questions than answers about the potential pros and cons. Unfortunately, the serum in question may not have been tested properly.
The manufacturer instructs women to apply “a few drops of serum to your face and neck, especially around the eyes and mouth where wrinkles tend to develop.” Women should use the topical solution daily for best results, according to the company. However, the company encourages women to use three or four additional products manufactured by the company.

|
| Final Thoughts |
Jericho Mineral Serum may be marketed as one of the superior anti-wrinkle products on the market, but we believe there may be other worthwhile formulas on the market. We are disappointed that the company expects women to combine this product with many others for best results; some of the higher-end formulas are known to be comprehensive.
Money-back guarantees may be available for some of the higher-quality anti-wrinkle creams on the market, but such an offer may not be available for the product in question at time of review. Women who like to try a product before making a decision on whether to use it regularly may appreciate that they are eligible for a full refund from some companies.
