Strivectin-SD

I bought Strivectin because of all the things I read about it erasing the lines on the face. The box in front of me says nothing about usage on facial wrinkles. Strivectin-sd (striadril) - Intensive Repair For Existing Stretch Makrs (Striae Distensae).

Ultra Concentrated stretch mark repair formula.

Clinically proven to dramatically reduce the length, depth and texture of existing stretch marks.
Corrects discoloration
Stimulates glucosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis

Note that in the original packaging, there was no mention of this being an anti aging wrinkle cream.

I went through the back of the box to see how to use it.

It says :
Caution: For topical use only.
Before using Strivectin-SD on a regular basis, test Strivectin on a small area of your forearm. If extreme redness/rasg or itching occurs, discontinue use and call our customer service department....

I tested that on my skin. A little oily but no rash. No problems at all for me so I took that as the green light to go ahead.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Not for use by children under 18 years of age unless directed by a doctor. Not for use by pregnant or nursing women. Before using this product, consult your health-care provider..

None of these were a problem for me. Finally, the directions of use.

Begin with clean dry skin. Apply Strivectin-SD 3 times daily. (do not exceed 3 applications per 24 hour period).
Use sparingly. Strivectin-SD is a concentrated formula.
Vigorously massage Strivectin SD into the target area, using a circular motion until completely absorbed.
Strivectin-SD penetrates immediately, leaving skin youthful, smooth and silky.

OK. No mention of where to put it. I took a shower and also washed and pat dry my face and then, massaged it into those laugh lines. It was oily. I should have paid attention to that as anything oily causes my skin to break out. I also massaged it onto my tummy. Instead of 3 times a day, I only had time to do it twice.

While other women see their lines disappear, I saw tiny little pimples form. That stuff clogged my pores. It was ok on my tummy where it was meant to be applied. As I didn't have visible stretch marks then (I still hadn't lost the pregnancy fat years after baby was born) I can't tell much about its effectiveness on stretch marks. My laugh lines remained and I had pimples for it.

The verdict? Women with oily skin or acne prone skin should avoid applying this on their faces. Though no two women are alike, so what causes my skin to break out might give another woman glowing, youthful skin. It must work for many women as now, new Strivectin formulas are in the market specifically for use as antiaging facial skincare. Go for those formulas instead if you want to use strivectin on your face.
