Microquatic Treatment |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Internationally acclaimed makeup artist Sue Devitt has a line of anti-aging products, Microquatic Treatment Collection, which may be yet another line of beauty products that may really not do anything to address skin rejuvenation. Yet, the product line contains similar formulas featuring similar ingredients. The only stark differences among the products may be that they are marketed in different forms. However, to its credit, the product has an official online presence.
There are a number of anti-aging creams and other topical applications available nowadays. We usually welcome such products by “acclaimed” makeup artists; however, we believe that when it comes to reducing the visible signs of aging, there may be better ingredients out there than what is included in the product in question. Therefore, we will take a look at Microquatic Treatment Collection, and such topical applications in general, to conclude whether it may really provide the wonderful results it promises.

| Products at a Glance |
Microquatic Treatment Collection contains the following products: Anti-Aging Facial Concentrate, Anti-Aging Eye Concentrate, Fortifying Primer and Purifying Cleanser. When a person buys all of this for around $305, the product is said to be shipped “housed in a chic cosmetic case perfect for [the customer’s] week-end getaway.” However, as of this review, the manufacturer fails to list the complete ingredients in any of these formulas. We find this highly disconcerting.

| Products in Focus |
Nowadays, it may not be surprising to come across skincare manufacturers claiming one vitamin/mineral or the other as the most important agent in reducing aging signs. However, we believe that vitamins and minerals may easily be replenished with the assistance of daily vitamin supplements. We believe an anti-aging cream will need something more besides providing essential vitamins. Furthermore, the marketing language used by the manufacturer may suggest that the product may really be targeted towards those who are able to afford weekend getaways, and over $300 for makeup kits.

| Lifestyle |
As we age, the production of Collagen by our bodies also starts decreasing. As a result, our skin starts looking old and flaky, and wrinkles start to form. However, advances in science have found ways to reduce such wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin tone. Many products nowadays incorporate fresh Collagen derived from bovine, fish or plant sources. However, better products seem to go further, and include scientifically advanced ingredients like, for instance, Matrixyl 3000®, which has been specially formulated to boost natural production of Collagen by the body.

| Positives |
• Offers topical applications in the form of skin creams
• Manufacturer has official online presence
|
| Negatives |
• Do not contain proven ingredients, like Collagen and Matrixyl 3000®
• No online testimonials as of this review
• Exclusive websites on each product unavailable
• Price to size ratio may not be that attractive
• Product line seems to include too many products with similar formulations
|
| Final Thoughts |
We believe a really effective product will not only have an exclusive online presence and excellent customer service, but will also be backed by testimonials and real results. Furthermore, successful, and thus dependable, manufacturers seem to focus on marketing only one effective product, rather than dabbling in an array of mediocre formulas. In these regards, we believe Microquatic Treatment Collection line fails to be impressive.
While there are many products nowadays claiming to contain natural Collagen derived from bovine animals or fish, only a few of them may be trustworthy. Collagen is the main protein of connective tissues. It has been found to be the primary agent in strengthening blood vessels and in developing new tissues, especially in the skin. As such, an anti-aging cream with fresh Collagen, as well as other ingredients, like Matrixyl 3000®, as discussed above, may be worth a trial.
