Meaningful Beauty

Meaningful Beauty is a skin care product formulated and developed by Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh, a French skin care expert that claims to slow down the aging process and keep you looking young and beautiful.

The secret behind the success of Meaningful Beauty is a mysterious ingredient found in a rare french melon.

Hard to believe?

According to the Meaningful Beauty website, “A rare French melon that stayed fresh and firm much longer than similar varieties. This melon contained a powerful “first generation” antioxidant (superoxide dismutase), which preliminary studies suggest, prevents the formation of new free radical species. By utilizing this first generation antioxidant, Meaningful Beauty’s formulas are designed to help protect your skin against the visible signs of aging in a remarkable way.”

Meaningful Beauty is endorsed by Cindy Crawford, one of the most beautiful women in the world. With an endorsement, Cindy puts her very reputation on the quality of Meaningul Beauty and a belief that it will:

Decrease the appearance of pore size
Prevent premature aging
Smooth visible appearance of wrinkles
Reduce skin redness and roughness
Offer SPF 20 protection

Included in the Meaningful Beauty System, you get:

Skin Cleanser
Day moisturizer
Night moisturizer
Eye cream
Facial Masque
Décolleté and neck crème
Glowing Serum

Actual Customer Feedback:

“I didn’t like that I called in to take advantage of the so called “special offer’ but they would not honor it unless they enroll you in an auto charge to your credit card. The commercial makes it seem as though you can just try it without the hassle of calling in to stop the program.”

Healthy Body Report’s research on Meaningful Beauty:

Cindy Crawford’s Meaningful Beauty… the name itself could almost be guilty of causing people to open their purses and start buying. To get to the facts of this supposedly amazing product, we chose to completely ignore the fact that it is endorsed by Cindy Crawford. We also chose to ignore that it’s part of the long range of Guthy Renker products often seen on early morning infomercials. We wanted the cold hard, melon flavored facts!

What we like… the product is backed by at least one person among the science and / or medical profession. Professional endorsements do tend to lend weight to how good a product “can be”, so this endorsement is going to give it a tick for us. According to our research the website claims they have had nobody complain of side effects. The product is also a full system, which offers everything needed for a total skin care routine.

What we didn’t like… the trial group had no complaints, which is a slight concern and makes me wonder if they did not have a large trial group, or they got incredibly lucky with the group they did use, as the chance of a 100% successful trial seems quite slim. There is also a common issue regarding confusion about the shipping and billing cycles which has had a few people upset with the company.

Verdict:

To be honest, we’re on the fence with Meaningful Beauty. On one hand, it appears to be a great product which delivers great results but on the other hand, it seems like a lot of talk and hype and not enough factual substance to back it up. Just try and find out what this melon ingredient actually is? We give it 3.5 Stars.

“The Murad Starter Kit gave me results within days. My skin is pretty much clear and I have only used it for 6 days. One word of advise- less is more.”

“Murad has been great for me! My skin is clearer, the red spots I had from previous breakouts are gone! I can leave the house without makeup and not feel horrible now.”
- Portion of acutal user feedback from viewpoints.com

“Murad uses salicylic acid in a much higher concentration than the cheaper, discount store products. People who broke out after using this product most likely don’t respond well to sulfur or salicylic acid. I am 29, have combination skin and light acne scarring. I’ve been using this product for a week and I’ve seen marked improvement. Just know your skin! Not everyone’s is alike!”

“Simply put Murad is terrible. Im in my early 20′s and I have mild-moderate acne. After trying proactiv for a while and not completely sastified with the results ,as it left my skin flaky and dry and I always seemed to continue to get pimples, I decided to switch over to Murad after seeing the informercial on television. Big mistake! I started getting hundreds of tiny pimples on my forehead, and also in areas where I usually never breakout (for example: under my chin, side of my face, upper lip and nose) and worst of all I started to get cystic pimples in areas as well, this was something I have never experienced before in my life!”

Acne Treatment Foaming Wash and Acne Treatment Toner
* Salicylic Acid 2.0% → A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) with keratolytic activity to help open clogged sebaceous follicles. It helps dissolve the top layers of the stratum corneum cells and remove impurities, improving the look and feel of the skin. Also antiseptic and fungicidal.

Acne Treatment Lotion
* Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% → An antibacterial agent commonly used in acne treatments. It functions by forcing an oxidant (peroxide) into pilosebaceous follicle where it releases oxygen, thereby diminishing the P. acne population. This reduces the level of toxic, corrosive fatty acids and inflammation activity.

This system actually surprised me as I was doing my research.

Your products have not only gotten rid of almost all traces of acne, but have done so without tearing up my skin”

Summary

Healthy Body Report’s unbiased research on Celazone O-PLEX:

During our research of the Celazone O-PLEX Acne Treatment System we discovered 3 things. The first is that the science behind the product is based on medical principals where you kill the bacteria, you remove the chance of infection (acne). It comes as no surpise then, and it works. The second thing we discovered is that this system is an fantastic success rate. Finally, we discovered that in an industry with so many products claiming to be the all-mighty cure to acne, Celazome often gets pushed to the end of the list.

We don’t feel this is fair, as this product appears to do exactly as it claims and for less than some other systems.

Verdict:

A solid 5-stars. Celazome do appear to have created a quality product that works very well.

Healthy Body Report’s unbiased research on Youthful Essence®:

Our research came up with mixed results on this product. The primary concern some people had is that the product has the ability to dry out the skin, so those with dry skin should be sure to ask around before trying it. On the other hand, those who did have good results gave glowing reports.

Verdict:

If you are looking for an anti-aging product and are not sure where to start, we would recommend trialing an peptide/antioxidant based system such as Reclaim® before microdermabrasion.

Principal Secret Reclaim®

Principal Secret Reclaim® is a leading anti-aging skin care product that claims to reverse the signs of aging by addressing the 4 causes of wrinkles.

The science behind Reclaim® is the “Argireline Molecular Complex”; an innovative complex available from Principal Secret®. Argireline is a naturally derived line diminisher which helps keep skin toned and healthy.

According to the Reclaim® website, a recent study showed over 70% of participants reported a decrease of lines after using the product.

Summary

Healthy Body Report’s unbiased research on Revitol Acnezine:

The research we have done highlights Acnezine as a reliable product for treating all types of mild to moderate acne. We found a number of cases where users found the product not to work as well as Revitol claims, or not at all, however they are definitely the minority of feedback we found. Like many products, a small selection of users may not achieve the desired results, which in no way means the product is bad.

In some customers side affects of the product did occur including redness, burning, itching and possible swelling. Side affects were not common in our research however.

Verdict:

While the Acnezine System has been effective for many customers, we believe for the price and type of product, the Derma Cleanse System is a much better product.
