Skin Care Review: Almay Kinetin

I have been using the Almay Kinetin line of products for about a year. While I like the feel of the Age Decelerating Daily Lotion on my skin, I find it quite painful if it comes in contact with my eyes in any way. Unfortunately, the Rejuvenating Eye Treatment has the same effect, making it difficulty to use the product line around the eyes without causing undue suffering. The Repair & Rejuvenate Night Concentrate is too greasy for my taste. All of that having been said, I think that I do see some slight improvement in my expression lines around my mouth. However, this improvement (if it exists) is quite subtle.

I am planning to switch to the more expensive Kinerase line from ICN Pharmaceuticals. Besides just wanting to try something else that might be more effective, I prefer to spend the extra money to obtain a product whose manufacturers are willing to disclose the concentration of furfuryladenine. From reading this Web site, I have the impression that the Kinetin products have a lower concentration than the Kinerase products, but Almay will not disclose the concentration in their Kinetin line. Given the enormous price difference, I'm guessing that the concentration in the Almay products must be quite low, however if anyone has any information about this, I would appreciate it if you would post it on this site!
