Bellaplex - Trial Offer Review

Overview

Bellaplex is a relative newcomer to the anti wrinkle cream market. Its manufacturers tout Bellaplex as a true BOTOX® alternative because of its combination of Argireline and Matrixyl peptides which both help to release wrinkles on a molecular scale. Bellaplex also contains the powerful moisturizer hyaluronic acid, in addition to "fresh, real" collagen.

Bellaplex is a product created by Urban Nutrition, LLC, which is based in the UK. Like many anti-aging topical creams currently on the market, Bellaplex bills itself as an alternative to Botox. Bellaplex claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by as much as 40 percent, increase the body’s the production of collagen, and make your skin more firm and thick. Bellaplex seems to get mostly positive reviews around the Internet because it contains many ingredients that are proven to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These are Matrixyl 3000, Argireline, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients are all certainly well regarded, but they are also all found in other popular anti-aging products.

There are many wrinkle creams on the market today (even with a troubled economy, the market for anti-aging products continues to grow) but not many have this combination of proven ingredients. The official website is well set up and informative but seems to be lacking instructions on how to use Bellaplex. As it’s a cream, the manufacturers probably assume most people will know what to do with it. However, the questions of how many applications, whether it should be washed off or left to absorb, and when is ideal are all unanswered. Bellaplex is marketed toward both men and women.

Product Details

Bellaplex contains an impressive combination of wrinkle fighters. Matrixyl 3000 is very popular and has been studied in many clinical trials. It has been shown to decrease the density, volume, and depth of wrinkles. This compound licensed to out several wrinkle creams by a third-party European lab. Collagen is a protein that exists in your skin and helps keep everything looking smooth and tight. As we age our collagen levels decrease, leading to droopy skin and wrinkles. Argeriline is a proven wrinkle fighter that can give you results in about two weeks and is very popular in wrinkle creams. The last top ingredient is hyaluronic acid which helps hydrate the skin and keep it smooth.

One would think that this combination would work well because it includes many of the top wrinkle fighting ingredients, all working together in one product. Of course there are other ingredients in Bellaplex but unfortunately they are not listed on the website.

Bellaplex ingredients

Bellaplex contains two of the powerful peptide molecules, in this case Argireline (or Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) and Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3). Argireline is thought to work by inhibiting the processes that cause facial muscles to contract, causing certain kinds of wrinkling. Theoretically, products containing Argireline should work similarly to BOTOX® injections. The addition of hyaluronic acid aids in plumping up the skin, helping to disguise the appearance of wrinkles.

Matrixyl stimulates the deeper layers of the skin to synthesize collagen, aiding in the rejuvenation of the skin and a return to a more youthful appearance.

Bellaplex contains what its makers call "fresh, REAL" collagen. Although the source of this collagen is not revealed, most beauty products use cow hides as a source for collagen. A few more animal-friendly brands stick to marine collagen produced by kelp. Despite the manufacturer's claims that this "fresh, REAL" collagen will rejuvenate your skin, full collagen molecules are far too large to penetrate the skin intact. To our knowledge, there have been no scientific studies supporting the claims made by the Bellaplex manufacturers that applying topical collagen does anything at all to improve the skin.

How to use Bellaplex

The instructions that accompany Bellaplex state simply to apply the product to the areas of the face where there are wrinkles. Washing the skin first is not instructed, though we advise always washing the skin before applying any anti wrinkle products.

Its manufacturers recommend that Bellaplex should be used for a minimum of 60 days.

Bellaplex: our evaluation

The Bellaplex formula is definitely headed in the right direction. The combination of Argireline, Matrixyl and hyaluronic acid should be an effective one for combating wrinkles. On the other hand, we doubt that the addition of "fresh, REAL" collagen has no effect on the skin whatsoever.

The Bellaplex formula could be strengthened by the addition of antioxidants and botanicals to help soothe and heal the skin.

The Bottom Line

Bellaplex contains many ingredients that people seek out when looking for a good wrinkle cream. The lack of a full ingredient list may cause problems for people who are sensitive or allergic to various compounds used in cosmetics. The 30 day money back guarantee is nice.
