Circadia 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

Circadia is a skin care company that was founded by Peter T. Pugliese, MD. The official website states that he is “the undisputed pioneer of cosmetic research, formulation, and education” when it comes to the field of skin health. The official website claims that he has received many awards, and patents and pioneered many discoveries in the field of anti-aging and skin physiology.

Circadia offers many different products that are intended to be used for various skin conditions. There are products that are marketed for those with acne, dry skin, wrinkles, overexposure to the sun, and even rosacea. The Circadia products seem very specialized. As you look through the various categories, you will notice that they are tailored to work with very specific skin types. Different products are formulated to work with skin that has wrinkles, is under age 35, over age 35, sensitive skin, and more.

Product Details

The Circadia categories that seem the most relevant to the anti-aging field are “Renew and Repair” and “Hydrate.” In the Renew and Repair category you can find products such as the Vitamin C Reversal Serum. This product contains sodium hyaluronate, which is known to hydrate the skin resulting in a smoothing effect. In the Hydrate category, you can find the Hydrating Cream. This product contains oils from avocados, olives, macadamia nuts, and many vitamins and holistic ingredients.

Circadia products are all clinically tested, and this manufacturer even offers a Case Study section on the official website. This section is blank at the moment, but hopefully it will have some information soon. We can't find any testimonials or full lists of ingredients for the Circadia products, and it seems like they can only be obtained through third-party distributors.

Many of the Circadia anti-aging products are recommended be used together so you can experience better and faster results which is nice. Some creams are only for nighttime, while others are for daily use. There are also Circadia products that you can use “as needed” throughout the day.

The Good

  • Some anti-aging products from Circadia contain known wrinkle fighting ingredients.
  • The official website is nicely done and informative.

The Bad

  • The Case Studies section on the official website is completely blank.
  • We can't seem to find any testimonials posted on the official site.
  • The prices and full ingredients lists are not posted on the official site.

The Bottom Line

Circadia products seem like they have been created for very specific skin types, but we can’t be too sure if they do what they claim. Some products do seem to contain known wrinkle fighters, which is nice, but the official website just doesn't have enough testimonials or clinical trials to back them up. We recommend using products that hydrate the skin as well as fill in fine lines and wrinkles.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  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.
