Youthology Review

Youthology Research Institute, a technology driven company based in California, promotes a line of innovative skincare products designed to combat and reverse the signs of aging. The company claims its products, if used together, will help you “defy the march of time. Finally, you can look years younger without undergoing cosmetic surgery, painful injections, or other invasive treatments.”

On its website, Youthology promotes a multi-path approach for healthier, younger looking skin which:

• Support cellular nutrition.
• Stimulate skin’s collagen.
• Stimulate skin’s hyaluronic biosynthesis.
• Prevent collagen breakdown.
• Minimize uneven skin tone.
• Build skin firming and smoothing.
• Offer a super antioxidant preventing further skin damage.

Youthology’s philosophy is in promoting a three step approach to healthier and younger looking skin. This includes using its Vital Hydration Cream Cleanser™ Serum Infused Moisture Cream™, and Radiance Renew Perfecting Gel™. Its full product line includes:

• 90 Second Wrinkle Removing Eye Serum™. Thanks to the company’s proprietary ACTIVE REJUVATIN® complex, the serum works on contact to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces under-eye puffiness and bags.
• Vital Hydration Cream Cleanser™ is promoted as a daily use facial cleanser that easily removes minor surface impurities, makeup, and excess oil while helping keep your skin hydrated.
• Serum Infused Moisture Cream™. The website describes this as “An innovative emulsion that delivers encapsulated essential peptides, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for rejuvenating skin and reversing the signs of aging.”
• Radiance Renew Perfecting Gel™ by Youthology is a gel designed to help smooth over any impurities in your skin. It can be used alone or worn under makeup for an instant, flawless finish.
• Lift + Firm Face and Neck Repair™ is a stimulating cream designed to improve the skin’s firmness.
• Dark Circle Eye Treatment™ is, as its name implies, a product that works to reduce the appearance of dark circles around the eyes by supporting healthy blood vessels and promoting collagen production.

Youthology Reviews

After reviewing several independent websites, many reviews are mixed. Some users have complained Youthology products do not work as fast, as well, or for as long as advertised. However, this is expected given that each person has a different skin type. It also is interesting that some reviewers said that after calling customer service, it was determined they were applying the products incorrectly and – after receiving proper instruction – were satisfied with the results. Here are some reviews to consider.

“Our testers said that their skin felt pretty well moisturized, and they enjoyed the scent and the texture of the products. While not our number one choice, it delivered some pretty good results at the end of the month. 90 second results it does NOT provide, but after a month of trying it, we found that our skin was more supple, and that the wrinkles seemed to be reduced a bit. If you are looking for a nice value, and a fairly well-performing product, you should definitely consider Youthology before buying your next eye gel.”

“While Youthology may perform extremely well at producing a temporary reduction to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, those seeking more permanent results may benefit from a selection of alternative eye care products ...”

Pros

• Results in as little as 90 seconds.
• Elimination of fine lines around the eyes.
• Reduction of the appearance of under-eye bags and puffiness.
• The products have a pleasant scent.
• Results in skin feeling supple and well hydrated.
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, tightens the skin around the eyes.

Cons

• Some reviewers have found the results to be short term, lasting only 6-8 hours.
• Reviewers also have said the products do not contain any clinically proven wrinkle fighting ingredients.
• Some consumers have reported complaints to the Better Business Bureau, stating the company’s sales pitch does not inform callers of automatic billing for the Auto Shipper and Preferred Customer programs, even after cancelling orders.
• The product line is moderately expensive, with each costing $39.99 plus $9.99 for shipping and processing.

Final Thoughts

Though Youthology’s line-up has earned mixed reviews, many customers indicated they were satisfied with the results. The main point of dissatisfaction stems from the company’s Auto Shipper policy, which needs to be explained better – and more prominently – on their website and over the phone to avoid future issues.
