While Strivectin does offer many vegan products, the brand doesn’t identify as such. Not all products listed are 100% vegan, so they don’t claim to fall under that category. Is Strivectin cruelty-free? I am 64 years young and have tired and used a lot of creams, etc …so heres my review for this Brand.However, the good part of the skincare industry, in general, is that there are many brands to choose from like SIO Beauty, Murad Skin Care, The Ordinary, and Mary Kay Skin Care that may work similarly to Strivectin products or even better. Strivectin is 100% cruelty-free when it comes to their business practices. All testing is done through clinical trials and lab work, leaving the brand free from any cruelty in their actions. Does Strivectin ship internationally? StriVectin launched in 2002 as a stretch mark cream that was sold in health food stores such as GNC. It was a niche brand but then, according to company lore, women started to use it on their faces and claimed it helped to reduce their wrinkles. StriVectin capitalized on this by running ads that asked, “Could StriVectin actually be Better than Botox? Use retinoids at night. We recommend this retinoid oil serum .

What Products does Strivectin Sell?As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support.

are other key ingredients in the product SD Advanced Intensive Concentrate. An article in the Journal Dermato-Endocrinology mentions hyaluronic acid together with improved water retention on the skin, while the collagen in the Collagex-CE compound may improve skin firmness and elasticity. Glycolic Acid, Retinol Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles – This intense eye concentrate for wrinkles serum offers an enhanced solution to under-eye dark circles, under eye wrinkles, and puffiness. In our opinion, StriVectin products aren’t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. First things first, the main aim of this product is to fill and blur the appearance of wrinkles as well as to prevent any makeup applied on top from settling into creases and fine lines. At 31 years old, I can't say that wrinkles are a huge concern of mine just yet, but I have definitely noticed fine lines creeping in around my eyes, especially after a year of constantly interrupted sleep thanks to my 1-year-old. Over the last year, I've also noticed that my concealer tends to crease and settle into small fine lines under my eyes during the course of the day. A major issue? No. But it's annoying nonetheless. Always dedicated to doing their best, communication and customer service are key for this company. Noting any customer complaints and studying the formula for solutions, buyers can be assured that this brand doesn’t promise any results they haven’t already seen through testing.Jang HJ, Shin CY, Kim KB.

StriVectin Multi-Action Blue Rescue Clay Renewal Mask is a massage-activated, color-transforming clay mask designed to improve the look of dull, lifeless skin in just ten minutes. Encapsulated blue algae extract and pigments activate upon application, transforming from white to ocean blue color. Once applied to the skin, this mask is said to effectively draw impurities out of pores while providing the skin with moisture and nourishment. There are two types of clay ingredients in this mask, kaolin and bentonite, that provide absorbent properties to remove excess oil from the skin’s surface and pores, as well as reduce shine. These clay ingredients can sometimes cause skin dryness, however, the StriVectin Multi-Action Blue Rescue Clay Renewal Mask contains several hydrating ingredients to combat this issue. Strivectin Tightening Face Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that is said to visibly tighten while strengthening the skin barrier, providing antioxidant protection, and nourishing skin. One of the key ingredients in this serum is NIA-114, also known as myristyl nicotinate, a derivative of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). It isn’t the same ingredient as niacinamide, although it provides many of the same benefits, such as repairing the skin barrier and improving skin moisture, as well as reducing inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling. However, this ingredient won’t provide a skin tightening effect. If you do notice that your skin feels tighter after using Strivectin Tightening Face Serum, it is likely due to the high concentration of film-formers in this product (e.g. cyclopentasiloxane, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, pullulan, etc.). While these ingredients will help the skin look and feel tighter, the effect is purely cosmetic; these ingredients do not actually repair the skin. Lastly, Strivectin Tightening Face Serum contains one peptide: Tetrapeptide-21. When tetrapeptide-21 is applied to the skin, it provides anti-aging benefits such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also stimulate repair and renewal mechanisms of the skin.
