Introduction & Overview |
Heldfond’s Eb5® Facial Cream is a topical solution marketed towards women as an anti-aging formula that may reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin on the face and neck. The company says the product has been formulated as “one of the lightest and most penetrating creams on the market,” which may be used in the morning and at night.
The product may be marketed as one of the higher-quality anti-aging creams on the market, but we believe there is more to a product than just its formulation; consumer testimonials, money-back guarantees and customer service all play a role in designating a quality product. We will get a closer look at this facial cream to see what its pros and cons may be.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
According to the product’s official website, some of the following ingredients may be found in the formula: Deionized Water, Propylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Stearic Acid, Mineral Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Panthenol, Allantoin, Retinyl Palmitate, Cholecalciferol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine and Imidazolidinyl Urea.
Additional ingredients may include Potassium Sorbate, Methyl Paraben and Propyl Paraben. Women may notice that the formula may consist of a variety of nutrients and botanicals.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Ingredients like Tocopheryl Acetate and Mineral Oil may be found in many other skincare products for their purported benefits for smoother and softer skin. But we feel the formula as a whole does not seem to stand out, especially compared to some of the higher-end anti-wrinkle creams on the market – which may contain Collagen, Argireline®, Matrixyl 3000® and Hyaluronic Acid.
Some products on the market may contain one or two of these ingredients, but only a select few are known to include all of them. This combination may be especially promising for achieving the dual effect of reducing the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines, while moisturizing the skin. In fact, Hyaluronic Acid is regarded as one of the best retainers of moisture available today.

| Lifestyle |
This “unique greaseless base” is characterized by the manufacturer as “light,” “penetrating” and “weightless.” The company says women may used the cream twice daily for best results. However, we are curious about whether women may combine this product with other topical solutions they may already be using as part of a comprehensive skincare regimen.
At time of review, a two-ounce jar may be purchased directly from the company’s official website for about $20, which may appeal to bargain hunters. However, we are concerned that the low price may reflect low overall quality in the formula and in the general developing and manufacturing process. A closer look at the formula does not seem to turn up any high-end ingredients.

| Final Thoughts |
Heldfond’s eb5® Facial Cream may be marketed towards women who would like to take advantage of both a daytime and nighttime cream combined into one, without having to spend too much money. However, we believe there may be several higher-quality alternatives on the market that may be worth much more than the money that would be invested into the product.
Some of these highly regarded anti-wrinkle creams may be purchased online at the convenience of one’s home – especially convenient for women who lead busy professional or personal lives – and may be returned for a full refund in some cases. Unfortunately, women may not be able to take advantage of a money-back guarantee with the facial cream in question.
