R‐Lipoic Acid fights free radicals and counteracts the aging effects on the skin. Hyaluronic Acid supports the body’s production of collagen which, in turn, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Glycolic Acid is an exfoliating agent that promotes the development of healthy skin cells. This product formula contains several beneficial substances, however, does not include any clinically proven patented ingredients. This raises major concerns as certain competitor products contain patented ingredients because of their ability to provide superior results. Another concern is that the manufacturer fails to clarify if they are cGMP certified. These certifications are used to ensure that the production process is of a high standard and the lack of one brings product quality into question.
Instructions
The manufacturer advises that users apply this product in the morning to cleansed skin. There are no other directions for use which raises concerns regarding the amount of product needed per application and if users should take any precautionary measures. It is pleasing to note that the manufacturer stipulates the concentrations of active ingredients. While this product appears accurately dosed, it lacks clinically proven patented ingredients.
Cost
The manufacturer sells this product through their online store. A 30ml pump bottle retails for $29. This is not priced out of the market, however, the fact that the formula is missing patented ingredients means that this price may not be worth it. There are several competitor products with superior formulas that can be purchased at more affordable prices. Another concern is that there are no discounts to entice a consumer purchase.
Guarantee
Despite further research, we were unable to locate a clearly articulated guarantee. This means that customers who receive a faulty product have no way of applying for a refund. This is very concerning as this suggests that the manufacturer is not certain that the product will work as intended. Another worrying factor is that we were unable to find sufficient customer reviews for this product. Therefore, we cannot be certain if this product will deliver optimal skin care results.
Botanical Relatox Resurfacing Day Serum Review – The Bottom Line
Botanical Relatox Resurfacing Day Serum contains an accurately concentrated formula of beneficial ingredients for the skin. The product is also relatively well priced. That said, it lacks clinically proven patented ingredients found in competitors on the market. There are no bulk-buy deals to support long-term use. The lack of guarantee and insufficient customer reviews means that we cannot be sure of its efficacy. These are a few reasons we do not recommend this product.
