PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream

PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream fits right in with the PREVAGE brand and its luxurious reputation. This night cream should be an intensive treatment to help improve dryness, radiance, and resilience. PREVAGE conducted a consumer test and most consumers reported younger, revitalized skin.

The power for PREVAGE comes with a price. For under two ounces of this night cream, you are looking at spending $125. Is PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream potent enough for the price?

Benefits

PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream may not have any peptides, but it takes its own approach toward the signs of aging. The ingredient we found with the most strength in this cream is idebenone. Idebenone is an antioxidant. A study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology reported that idebnone is a “very effective antioxidant to protect against oxidative stress.” Oxidative stress contributes to the signs of aging.

Possible Side Effects

Sometimes preservatives like parabens are necessary to keep the product from expiring, so we understand that at times these ingredients are necessary. However, parabens have been known to cause skin irritation. With PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream, the formula has at least five parabens which is something we didn’t expect with this “high-quality” cream.

The recommended use for PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream is also interesting to note. PREVAGE suggests you test the cream on a small spot on your arm to gauge your skin’s sensitivity.

Conclusion

PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream does have high performance moisturizers like it suggests. Moisturizers like shea butter and dimethicone bind moisture to the skin to keep it hydrated while you sleep.

Our concern is the PREVAGE Anti-aging Night Cream’s reliance on idebenone to really reduce wrinkles and fine lines. This antioxidant can help protect the skin, but it doesn’t promote collagen production to re-firm the skin. We are hesitant to recommend this product because it lacks any peptides.
