AlphaMax Review
On this website critics examine a number of popular health and beauty products available on the market today. The information presented on the site about each of the products assessed has been obtained from publicly available sources. Those critics and this web site are sponsored by Rauscher | Bekke, manufacturers of Dermapril-SP. The information on this website is intended to inform and educate consumers.

Overview

AlphaMax is a product line that was created by two dermatologists from Beverly Hills. The official AlphaMax website claims that Jeffrey Marmelzat, MD and his associate, Richard Salit, MD, have performed facial peels on the “most beautiful people in the world”. The popularity of their clinical peels led them to develop a product line that would be easy for people to use at home.

The creators of AlphaMax now work with the Institute for Advanced Skincare, which is based in New York. The official website claims that AlphaMax is produced with only the best ingredients possible and can make your skin more radiant, improve the skin’s tone, reduce fine lines, make your complexion healthier, and reduce the appearance of discoloration spots caused by the sun. Alphamax has just three products available and the website recommends that you buy the three products in a set which saves a little money.

Product Details

Alphamax has three distinct products that are supposed to work together to give you a full anti-aging and skin rejuvenation treatment. These three products are the AlphaMax Weekly Instensive Exfoliator Pads, AlphaMax Antioxidant Moisturizer, and AlphaMax Daily Renewal Lotion with AHA-SPF15.

The Alphamax exfoliator pads are saturated with alpha hydroxy acids, which exfoliate the skin and reveal the healthy skin underneath. The AlphaMax Moisturizer contains anti-oxidants such as vitamins A, C, and D as well as various plant extracts and oils. The goal of this moisturizer is to prevent further free radical damage to your skin. The AlphaMax renewal lotion contains a mix of ingredients from the other two products. There are alpha hydroxy acids, as well as various vitamins and extracts. The lotion also contains a mild sunblock to help keep your skin from getting damaged by UV rays.

The Good

  • The official website is nice and easy to use.
  • The package of all three products is relatively cheap at around $40.

The Bad

  • Not many testimonials are posted compared to other brands.
  • As with any facial peel product, some people may experience side effects such as stinging, burning, or reddening of the face.
  • The entire ingredients list of AlphaMax products isn't listed on the official website.

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for a facial peel system that isn't very expensive, AlphaMax might be fairly appealing. We don't really see any outstanding ingredients in these products that would make them a better choice than similar products, but the price is low for three separate items. Facial peels aren't usually the first choice when you are looking for anti-aging products so you may want to consider a cream or serum that contains hyaluronic acid, collagen, or other similar well known wrinkle fighters. However, a facial peel could work well for a short-term fix before a big occasion.

Our top pick for 2008:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
