Youthful essence is one of many anti aging products on the market today, backed by a celebrity, in this case the products spokeswoman is Susan Lucci.

Youthful Essence is an anti aging skin regime that offers you the opportunity of doing your own microdermabrasion right in the comfort of your own home. According to the Youthful Essence official site, this product can help lessen wrinkles, remove old age spots and acne scars and even your skin tone. The product is manufactured by Guthy - Renker and was developed by Beverly Hills spa owners Dean and Amber Rhoades.

How Does Youthful Essence Work?

The theory behind Youthful Essence is that dead skin cells are to blame for dull skin and uneven skin tones, and that by removing those dead skin cells, you can reduce wrinkles and even out your skin leaving it clear and youthful looking.

Youthful essence consists of a resurfacing cream containing quite a lengthy list of ingredients, an applicator sponge and a resurfacing tool that is operated by battery power. You simply apply the cream to your face in an even layer and then use the resurfacing tool to scrub away the cream and the dead skin cells - leaving you with younger, healthier looking skin without the necessity of professional microdermabrasion.

There are some Youthful Essence testimonials on the site and a few pictures all raving about how well this product works. It comes with a 60 day money back guarantee minus shipping and handling.

Does Youthful Essence Really Work?

While not a professional microdermabrasion, there is little doubt that the Youthful Essence kit does remove at least some, if not all of your dead skin cells. However, like professional dermabrasion treatments, this product is likely to produce reddened and stinging skin for several hours after use, so it is not a product you will want to use just before that big date or even going to the office.

Both the site's testimonials and consumer reviews from other sources seemed to feel that Youthful Essence did at least the majority of what it claimed to do. But it does pose a problem for people with very sensitive skin. The Youthful Essence site does claim that results may vary and this seems at least a very strong possibility. While people who could benefit from professional microabrasion may find this product useful, those of you with good skin who simply want to reduce those wrinkles and fine lines and moisturize your skin may find this kit a bit too much for your needs.

Final Thoughts

While Youthful Essence seems to be one of the better microdermabrasion kits on the market today, it still has all the benefits and drawbacks of a professional microdermabrasion without the professionals knowledge and expertise. For those who are not looking to remove acne scars or other problems that such treatment is designed for, you would do better to choose a product that can help relieve those fine lines and wrinkles without the harsh treatment to your sensitive skin.
