Revox Line Relaxer by Revision Skincare Sample Review

 

I was sent this a few months ago to test and wanted to see the results of using it for a month before I wrote about it. Unfortunately, I had done a 'before and after shot', and when I went into my iPhone camera roll today, many of my photos had disappeared, I suspect from the eldest messing around with iCloud (I will put her on her own one this year)! That saying you don't really need to see 'before and after' shots to realise the quality of ingredients in this 'line relaxer'.

The makers of Revox Line Relaxer promote it as a line serum to be used in between anti-wrinkle injections, to maintain longevity of the treatment. However, it can be used without having anti-wrinkle injections which is good as I don't have them. 

The serum is formulated using patent pending 'Line Relax' technology, and claims that after 3 months expressions lines are reduced by a whopping 38%. Included in this formula are a cocktail of ingredients that include 8 peptides, hyaluronic acid and arnica.  It can be used by both men and women and used on both horizontal and vertical lines. Before I start stripping back the ingredient list here are some of the claims.

'93% of subjects showed improvement in crow's feet wrinkles at maximum smile'

'90% of subjects showed improvement in skin texture in the periorbital area at maximum smile'

Whilst I don't have the before photo I can also tell you that there was a visible difference when I smiled after using the product for a month. Also I found the under eye crepiness disappeared instantly as soon as applied, of course this instant result was just temporary but very handy on a night out. 

Below is a brief over-view of some of the ingredients and how they work to reduce lines:-

• Acetyl Octapeptide-3 - an anti-aging peptide that helps relax and relieve facial wrinkles. It's a synthetic ingredient made up of many types of acids and is more stable than botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox and used in anti-wrinkle injections.
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide 28 - another group of amino acids that can actually penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, whereby it stimulates collagen production.
• Dipeptide Diaminobutyrol Benzylamide Diacetate - a small molecule that imitates anti-wrinkle injections, targeting fine lines and wrinkles. 
• Sodium Hyaluronate - attracts moisture to the skin and so helps hydrate the area, giving a plumping effect and reducing flakiness.
• Inulin - this is a type of prebiotic and helps rebalance the skins moisture and oil levels. It helps nourish good bacteria and is often used to prevent acne and premature aging.
• Arnica Montana Flower Extract- an excellent plant extract that helps with bruising, swelling and is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.

There are more peptides included, but I will sound like I'm repeating myself however, one look at the back of the box and I was suitably impressed - this serum is packed full of active ingredients that work.

Finally and what is very important to me, is the packaging something comes in. As far as eye serums go this is the best application process I've tested (and believe me I've tested hundreds of eye serums etc over the years). Firstly, with just one press down on the tube it delivers the correct amount of serum and secondly, the tip is cooling and smooth and so when pressed around the eye area, helps reduce puffiness. Also I much prefer tube applications as they limit germs spread from fingers, that often happens when dipping into little pots. Again, please remember this isn't just for the eye area but can be used around the mouth too. 

This is expensive but a little goes a long way, you only need a tiny amount. Also I always think if you're going to splash out on skincare then spend where you usually see aging first. Therefore line relaxers, serums etc are worth the money and, like this one, you get what you pay for. It's priced at £147.00 and you can buy it here at www.revisionskincare.co.uk
