Elizabeth Arden is well known for her cosmetic line with everything from anti-wrinkle creams to cologne. These products are also well known for being expensive. Are these products just a big rip off or scam geared up to gouge you for a few hundred bucks and leave you with no visible results? They are not a scam for sure, but could you get more for your money?
I would have to say right off the bat that anything you put on your face is going to help, but what all of us are looking for is to spend our money where we get maximum results. Right? The best way to cut through the hype with cosmetics creams and lotions is to study the ingredients. So, lets take a look at the two anti aging products; Prevage Face Advanced Anti-Aging Serum and Prevage Anti-Aging Night Cream.
Editor Note: If you are interested in Prevage line of products you would absolutely love a product called LifeCell. See our review of LifeCell here!

The Good Ingredients In The Anti-Aging Serum
Right away I recognize a few really good ingredients. Sodium Hyaluronate, which is sometimes called Hyaluronic acid, is a natural substance found in our bodies and it is a top notch moisturizer. Another interesting ingredient is the Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinoyl Dipalmitoyl Glycerate. I can’t find any “real” information about it but I think the word Ubiquinoyl means it has Ubiquinone in it. Ubiquinone, also called Idebenone, is a very powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants are a very powerful tool for combating wrinkles and other signs of aging.
The Bad Ingredients In The Anti-Aging Serum
This is a touchy subject because companies don’t like negative comments made about their products. Let’s get real though…you came here to learn about this product, so here it is. If they don’t want negative comments they can change their ingredients and I will be glad to change my review.
First of all let me tell you where I get information about “bad” ingredients. It’s a site called cosmeticsdatabase.com and they give you the dirt on just about every ingredient you can think of. Just go to that site and paste a few of these ingredients in their search field: Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol and Propylparaben. These are not the only bad ingredients in this product, but they are just an example.
With all these ingredients this product would have a really long shelf life, but is that what you are looking for? Absolutely not! If you want a product that works and doesn’t harm you it needs to have a short shelf life. The shorter the shelf life the more natural the product.

The Good Ingredients In The Night Cream
Again we have Sodium Hyaluronate and it’s a great moisturizer and it looks like there is some variation of ubiquinone in there as well. Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate could possibly be related to Vitamin A, which is a great tool for anti-aging. I’m really having a hard time finding information about some of these ingredients because it’s only found on sites that sell wrinkle creams. I have to find my info on medical journals, Wikipedia or somewhere that has unbiased research published. For many of these ingredients I’m just not finding that info. For example, Squalane has ton’s of claims about it’s effectiveness, but I need to see unbiased research before I will believe it.
The Bad Ingredients In The Night Cream
The bad ingredients for the night cream are mostly the same as in the serum. I recommend searching for your ingredients at cosmeticsdatabase.com go get the scoop on the harmful ingredients. Cosmetics Database doesn’t cover the effectiveness of ingredients…just the harmful effects.
What I Use & Recommend
I use a product called LifeCell. I would have to say, “if LifeCell won’t fix your problem you will have to have surgery.” Now obviously I sell LifeCell, but please don’t think I would lie to sell it. If didn’t believe in it I would just find another product to sell. Plain and simple!
What’s the big deal about LifeCell? I’ll give you the overview here, but you need to need to check out my review of LifeCell! First of all it has 5 of the best anti-wrinkle ingredients available. There’s more great ingredients, but these top 5 are the best and I was able to find unbiased evidence that they work. Secondly, it doesn’t have harmful ingredients like parabens in it. Basically, LifeCell gives you the best age fighting power without risking your health.

LifeCell’s competitors can make all the claims they want, but when it comes to defending your skin against aging you want the best product and that’s LifeCell. Not only that, but LifeCell is around $180 the first time and $149 every 60 days thereafter. Prevage night cream and serum together cost around $280. Is it just me or is that a little high? Don’t let me stop you though…If you want to try Prevage by all means do it ( I sell it too.
