Skin Care Review: AminoGenesis Photolagen-AGF

by Terri, Portland, OR, USA

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Normalized oil production, smoothed skin tone/texture, reduces age spots/wrinkles

Drawbacks
Price-though the product last about 3 months and does multitude of things.

Details
I'm a white female with VERY sensitive, combination skin and large pores. I've battled mild to moderate acne from age 12 to 38. The only skin care combination that I could tolerate and appeared to somewhat work was glycolic acid and benzyl peroxide (i.e., Proactive and similar formulas used for 6 years) though this never cleared the blackheads around my nose and chin area. Now that I'm 38, age spots and wrinkles have also been added to the mix.

My quest to find acne/aging products was answered with AminoGenesis Photolagen-AGF. First, unlike glycolic & salicylic acid that attempt to manage results of troubled skin, this product works by penetrating the skin surface to deliver the amino acids and the pentapeptide, called Matrixyl, down to layers where skin can use it in its building process. The cream is extremely light, very lightly scented, and penetrates in about 1 minute. I've been using the product, 1 canister, on my face, neck, and décolleté for two months (I expect it to last 3 months) day and night. My pores have gotten smaller, oil production has begun to normalize, and blackheads on my nose and corners of my mouth have completely disappeared. Those on my chin are lessening daily. My skin tone & texture is going from mottled with old acne marks to creamy smooth. My wrinkles and age spots are beginning to lessen.

My skin routine is: Really, Really Clean Cleanser mixed with baking soda for exfoliation, Photolagen-AGF, Proactive Benzyl Peroxide Lotion, and then finally MD Forte SPF15 Sunscreen. Though you shouldn't touch your face, it is hard not to because it feels so smooth. They also carry a body lotion called Cocoon that does the same thing. Who would have thought your legs could look creamy smooth again. See their website for a complete explanations or give them a call. They are really very helpful. These are truly amazing products.

Conclusions
Highly recommended! AminoGenesis.com offers 60 day money back guarantee.
