Revlon Age Defying Review Says Foundation Doesn’t Work

By Courtney Coren

The health and beauty marketplace is full of anti-aging products as Americans across the country try to keep the aging process at bay. While most wrinkle-fighting products are creams and serums to be put on under makeup, Revlon has created a product that combines anti-aging ingredients in with their makeup with the Revlon Age Defying Foundation with DNA Advantage.

“Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage Cream Makeup combines makeup and powerful anti-aging skincare to help protect skin’s DNA to fight the visible signs of aging,” Revlon claims on its website. “96 percent of women saw flawless, younger-looking skin in two weeks. Lines and wrinkles are visibly diminished while skin is refreshed, hydrated, revitalized.”

Revlon claims that the DNA in the skin gets affected by sun damage, causing weaker skin that is more prone to lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness and uneven pigmentation.

“Using a unique blend of anti-aging ingredients and SPF 20 to help protect the skin from sun damage and fight the visible signs of aging, the sophisticated formula combines advanced anti-aging technologies in skincare with superior innovation in color,” Revlon says. The wrinkle-fighting makeup uses Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, West Indian Cherry Extract and humectants, which are described as being helpful in retaining “water balance.” 

However, according to the online magazine Anti-Aging Arsenal, it’s just another anti-aging fail. “If you’re looking for the perfect anti-wrinkle foundation, this doesn’t appear to be it,” the anti-aging website says. 

The ingredients in the foundation, the magazine writes, really aren’t that effective when it comes to keeping wrinkles at bay. “Though the product contains antioxidants and ‘humectants,’ there really isn’t a big-gun anti-aging ingredient in it. The vitamins though definitely good for your body, may not be as readily absorbed into your skin.” 

And it doesn’t seem to work that well as a foundation either, the Anti-Aging Arsenal added. 

In August 2011, USA Today reported that baby boomers are expected to spend billions of dollars in anti-aging products as they try to search for the “fountain of youth” before it slips through their fingers. 

According to the research marketing firm Global Industry Analysts, in 2011, baby boomers were spending about $80 billion on anti-aging products. The research firm projected that spending on anti-aging products would reach $114 billion by 2015.
