| Customer Reviews: Nice product November 11, 2009 Jett456 (Ct) I have been using this product for about a year. I use it mostly on my neck and I am very pleased with the results. I have virtually no wrinkles or lines and I am 51. It is expensive so I buy it on ebay (oops, can I say there here??)
Hoax claims - but feels great on skin October 13, 2009 alistairville (San Francisco Bay Area, USA) I have used Strivectin three times a day for about three years. Being 45, I would have appreciated the disappearance of some lines or wrinkles. However, there is absolutely no change in them with Strivectin. I find the claims to be bogus and I'm glad the FDA has been investigating them.
On the other hand, this moisturizer feels better on my skin than any other I've used. I love the feeling of it! Peppermint is what makes it feel cool but apart from that it is wonderfully thick and luscious on the skin without being sticky or oily. Of course, there are probably moisturizers for a quarter of the cost that feel just as good. The problem is that most moisturizers are for women and contain scents that are supposed to appeal to women (although I cannot imagine how they would). Strivectin does not contain strong scent so it is suitable for men to wear.
Therefore I give this 0/5 stars for doing what it says it does - because the claims made for the product are bogus based on my experience. I give this product 2/5 for being a good men's moisturizer but it is way too expensive for a mere moisturizer so cannot be rated more highly than 2/5.
TOTAL HOAX July 24, 2009 yael ashtari (Paris, France) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
i am disgusted to recently have learned that this company and its products are complete hoaxes! i purchased a tube of StriVectin-SD on recommendation of a GYN for my pregnancy stretch marks. Imagine how anxious i was for a product and at the advice of a Dr. no less, i was impatient to try it and forked over the 80EURO for 50 ml/1.7oz. (that size is not even available in the US). I became severely disheartened when i read reviews about the product here on amazon.com and at [...]. they were love/hate at best. and many accused the product and its company of fraud stating over-zealous claims that are being investigated by the FDA. between this, the exorbitant price and the late logic that there is no such thing as a cream that will clear stretch marks in a few weeks (especially with run of the mill ingredients) i returned it, thankfully in time to stringent French return policies.
upon my new quest to find another product i came across striadril. seeing the cognitive link, i put the product in wikipedia's search engine and read that BOTH products are made by the same company under different sub-names (Basic Research makes Strivectin-SD and Generix Labs makes Striadril) , both made by the same manufacturer at the same location (Salt Lake City, Utah) however the only difference is; "This company sells the product Striadril, which is billed as a generic version of the Strivectin-SD product at a fraction of the cost. Many customers are not aware that Striadril is the exact same product as Strivectin-SD, manufactured by the exact same company, just with a different package and price point to attract a lower-end consumer." !!!! How GROSS!
Striadril can sell for $[...] USD and StriVectin-SD $[...]!!!! (again not taking into account the price gouging in Europe!) it's worth noting that there is a prevailing myth circulating that StriVectin-SD used to be a prescription and is now "public". Complete and utter BS. What's more, the cream is not only a stretch mark eraser but a wrinkle remover!! a veritable all-in-one beauty cure-all!! Ha!
(** the reviews i read on amazon.com a few days back also cited that many of the 5-star reviews were by 1 time reviewers made on the same days, i.e. possible deliberate company contributions. i can no longer find that product listing with those reviews, there were well over 30 on that listing. i decided to post here instead)
when Americans are so lawsuit-happy, where's the uproar over this?? more regulation in the cosmetic industry is overdue.
Not Good For Stretch Marks June 26, 2009 R. Rivera (ca) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The only people who left good reviews didn't use it on their marks. That's because it doesn't work on them! Please save your cash for something that will work. I hope I find one that actually does work.
Jury Is Still Out... June 16, 2009 Jocko (United States) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been using this for a few weeks but I am not sure it has really done much at this point. As I said in the title, the jury is still out.
For the money spent on this product, I sure hope it produces some results!
