Rating: 98/100
Lifecell Skin Care is, by far, the BEST topical anti-aging skin care product I’ve ever seen. Nothing else comes close in terms of effectiveness and reliability.
I seen dozens of people use LifeCell Skin Care and 100% of them showed a visible reduction in the appearance of wrinkles! with no side effects. It also helped to reduce skin discolorations and brown spots. The ingredients in LifeCell won’t hurt your face, won’t dry out your skin, and won’t cause negative reactions. This is the biggest problem I’ve found in other products, they have bad reactions to the skin in large portions of the people who use them. Everyone’s skin looks stronger, tighter, and brighter than it did before they used the Life Cell anti aging cream.
It lifts fine lines around the eyes, eye lids, and even the brow bone really well.
It also treats the causes of aging, not just the signs. The ingredients help make the skin healthier so that wrinkles stay away longer and have a harder time coming back.
The people who seen use it were all super happy:
“I can’t believe lifecell actually worked for me. I’ve tried 4 different anti aging serums with no results. Now even my husband can see a difference! My skin looks better, and I feel fabulous about myself.”
-Barbara S.
Age 48
Guarantee: The guarantee is the best we’ve ever seen. 100% money back guarantee and they don’t even charge your card for 30 days.
Negatives:
The price was the only negative we could find. Lifecell skin care is the most expensive product we found. It was also by far the best. When you compare it with the price of botox and plastic surgery, the price isn’t really a consideration.
Positives:
- Tightens the skin to treat wrinkles
- Makes the skin look brighter to reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Ingredients strengthen the skin so it looks healthier
- lol…people always come back to me after they buy it and thank me for telling them about it
- Real testimonials from real people (with videos included)including doctors, pharmacists, supermodels, cosmetologists, make-up artists, etc.
- Before and after photos
- 120 day, 100% Guarantee
- Real life alternative to botox
- Medically backed
- Contains Dithiolane-3-Pentanic Acid, Idebenone, Ascorbyl Palmitate (the good kind of vitamin C), Deanol, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (alternative to botox)
- Try it free for 30 days (they don’t even charge your card for 30 days)
- Order by internet, phone, check
- 2 day priority shipping
I can’t recommend LifeCell Skin Care enough. Their whole company from the product to the customer service is the best in the anti-aging skin care industry.
I’ve had feedback from users that Life Cell Skin Care Cream is expensive. I totally understand. But, it’s honestly the best one I’ve found. So, if you have any concerns or questions, please chat with me. I’ll answer anything I can.

[2008, Jan 21 - 13:04] meeboguest264273: i’m of irish descent nad have very pale skin and tend to get wrinkles… but lifecell has started making me look younger… i recently got a great compliment from someone who thought my son was my husband… embarrasing for him but great for me
[2008, Jan 24 - 08:48] meeboguest522423: Jen, This is Suzie. I just wanted to thank you for creating this website. And more so I wanted to thank you for reccomending lifecell. It has changed my life. I know I’m sounding a bit melodramatic but its true. I am going out on a date with a guy 7 years younger than me and he things I’m younger than him. When he asked me my age… I just brushed him off. This cream is really really good. How did you find it? Suzie
[2008, Jan 28 - 21:22] meeboguest349869: Thank you for introducing me to LifeCell. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. It is a great product and is truly beautifying my face. Thank you again, Jen.
[2008, Jan 30 - 12:24] meeboguest979810: I love your blog. Thank you so much for doing the hard work for us women. I ordered LifeCell after a lot of skeptism… but I have been shocked and surprised by the results. I’ve been using it for 4 weeks and I just called them and begged them to put me on the discount club. This product is something. Thanks, Nikki
[2008, Feb 7 - 19:51] meeboguest405541: Jen, I was made aware of this product by you. I’ve been using LifeCell for the last 5 weeks and the results are simply wow! I’ve had all my coworkers ask me which spa I’ve been going to. What new injection I’ve been taking and all kinds of other accusations. But all I’ve changed in my lifestyle is to start applying LifeCell. I love it! Sally
[2008, Feb 19 - 13:31] meeboguest705311: Jen, I cannot believe how I’ve been living without LifeCell for so long. It is simply amazing! I absolutely love this product. I’m so glad you created this site and are educating us on the best skin care products out there. I have tried almost everything out there and the results with LifeCell are the best. I’m getting compliments on my “beautiful skin” (I’m 51 now) like I used to when I was in my 20s. Thank you, Nikki
[2008, Mar 17 - 00:49] meeboguest101319: I must tell you I have tried everything. My last attempt was Reclaim. Well after putting it on I looked “too perfect” and then as soon as I smiled or moved my face it broke down and my wrinkles were worse! I looked at the video again, and the woman didnt move her face! Well I would rather have wrinkles and be able to smile! I didnt give up. I read many reviews where women had the same problem with Reclaim but loved LifeCell. Well it is pricy but I had to try it. The very first night I remember touching my face in my sleep and it feeling so smooth! The first day I put it on my hands, I could not believe how much better they looked! I just turned 60 but people think I am in my late 40’s. After using this I will look younger. After a week some at work have asked if I had a new makeup or something, or got alot of sleep. It is amazing stuff! I will continue to use it, I am glad I signed up for the auto-shipment. Mary Ann
[2008, Apr 25 - 22:06] meeboguest998313: I have tryed your Anti-Wrinkle intensive serum; and I have to say it really works; I had deep lines by my mouth and now I can see a differents in a months time.I will keep buying this……….Evelyn

Jen,
I’ve been using LifeCell for 15 days now and I can definitely see an improvement in the wrinkles on my face. Now If I can just find something to help my thighs.
Hedy Scholtes @ 1:37 pm
I live in Holland, can I try the sample of Lifecell anti wrinkle cream first before ordering the fullsize?
Waiting for your answer,
Hedy(52j)
Jen @ 1:30 pm
Yes, you can get a sample from the company. It’s not my product so I can’t just send it to you (I only have what I ordered from them).
The way to get it is to place your order with them. They will send you the cream immediately but won’t charge your card yet. They only charge your card after 30 days of you having the product.
As far as I know, that’s how you get a sample of the LifeCell wrinkle cream.
Jen
Jennifer @ 3:06 pm
I ordered and tried LifeCell. At first I was apprehensive. I thought I made an impulsive purchase. I’ve got botox and restaline injections in the past. And I really had no confidence in LifeCell. But was I surprised. It works. It truly is amazing. I’m hooked. Jennifer
jill @ 11:08 pm
hello, i was wondering if anyone that has tried the cream has noticed a tightness in the skin….i was thinking of trying this product to help reduce the appearance of my double chin
Lynda @ 9:54 am
I bought a tube of this cream..which I am pleased about..but the web site is a bit misleading..it says free shipping..then when you get to the final it says only free to US state.. if you are international, you pay for shipping. I am not knocking the product, it’s great..but feel there sales jargon is a tadge muisleading.
Jen @ 2:27 pm
@jill -
Yes, we noticed a tightening of the skin. That’s one of the ways lifecell works is by tightening the skin. I don’t know if it will reduce a double chin, but depending on how much of a double chin it is, my guess is that it will at least reduce it somewhat.
Bettie @ 4:52 pm
I can attest to the Life Cell Cream effectiveness too. I didn’t have too many wrinkles before I started using it, but the ones I did have are almost completely gone. It has also cleared up a few brown spots on my face. Thanks Jen!
Joanne @ 1:03 pm
I am so impressed with this cream I had to write and let everyone know. My lines and wrinkles look less pronounced everyday. My skin is glowing. I’m 64 years old and keep getting complimented all the times, since I’ve started using LifeCell. I just got on their VIP Club program so I get it sent to me at a discount. I suggest everyone get on the program because it adds to a considerable saving. Joanne
Carrie @ 3:45 pm
I have been using LifeCell for about a week now and like it very much. However, my main area of concern is my neck. I am in my 40s and have started noticing my skin here beginning to sag or pucker. Will LifeCell help this area?
Jen @ 11:16 am
@Carrie
Life Cell Skin Care should help your neck also. I’ve seen it help reduce the wrinkles on a few people’s necks. Of course, that totally depends on the wrinkles on your neck. Sometimes neck wrinkles are less of wrinkles and more “extra skin” hanging around. It’s unlikely to solve it if this is the problem.

Christina @ 2:47 am
I have checked this site several times throught the last month and the last couple of days have seen a, Paula make some claims against Lifecell. Not only did what Paula have to say is true about the report at http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/283/RipOff0283490.htm about Lifecells deceptive advertising but what is worse is that Lifecell gets an full extra large picture ad from the company in comparison to the other products reviewed. I find this unsettling. “All” of Paulas comments were removed. As a public service this site should be autonomous unless the site is biased with funds paid by lifecell.
Jen @ 10:37 am
@Christina
The report on ripoffreport was retracted by the person who made it. The guy was part of an SEO firm and when LifeCell didn’t hire them to do web work for them, the guy got mad and made up the report. It’s totally false, is slanderous, and so as such I didn’t think comments that linked to it had any validity and should be on the site.
I firmly believe that LifeCell is the best skin care product out there and when people see something on the ripoff report it makes them not want to buy the product. Then they go buy an inferior product that doesn’t help them and they just waste their money.
I tried to email you about this, but your email address is wrong.
Jen
L.H.Scholtes @ 11:31 am
Hello Jen,
Thanks for you answer. When I order Lifecell from Holland, how long is the shippingtime. IF it would last 3 weeks or longer I had only a few days to try it. Imagine it don’t work at all for me then they will charge my creditcard before I get the opportunity to sent it back. How much is the shippingcost to Holland? Do you experience the lifecell your self?
Thanks for your time
Nicole @ 2:23 am
I moved to Holland from the US 5 months ago. I was using LifeCell back there for about 3 months. I just asked them to keep sending it to my Holland address. It generally takes about 7 days to get to me. By the way if it doesn’t work for you (highly unlikely) they’ll refund your money. I pay $15 for shipping to Holland and I generally get 2 tubes at the same time to save on shipping. I totally love this product. I’m just surprised they don’t have other products to offer. Nicole
S.Gaylord @ 12:15 pm
Does the product help upper lip wrinkles?
laura @ 6:17 am
I am wondering if Lifecell works better than something my sister is using: Freezox? I truly want to use something that will help the wrinkles around my eyes! They make me look older than my age and I want that to change. How GOOD is this stuff, really?
laura @ 6:24 am
I would like to know the answer to lip wrinkles as well….and discoloration on the upper lip from hormonal changes
Jen @ 11:12 am
@laura - While I can’t say from personal experience about the upper lip wrinkles (because I didn’t really have them, I’m pretty confident that it will work for them. I have rarely seen a case when it doesn’t work.
With regards to Freezox, look at this page for my review of Freezox: http://www.bestantiwrinklecreamreviews.com/freezox-review.php
shasha @ 9:04 pm
Does lifecell helps tu reduce eyebag and dark circle? Do you have before and after photos of people using product?
Alice @ 12:00 pm
Laura, I’m a “LifeCeller” and I’ve been using it for the last 4 months. I am here to let you know that this product is absolutely amazing. It certainly helps reduce the appearance of upper lip wrinkles. I contacted the company and asked them what else I could do to look younger and they sent me a very informative list of things to do. I’ve printed it and keep it in my vallet at all times. One of them, was to quit smoking. The way they explained it, smoking causes severe free radical production that causes wrinkles. If you smoke - quit it or choose whether you prefer looking old or prefer sucking up on the cancer stick. You can’t have both. Alice
yolanda @ 7:07 pm
is lifecell safe to use during pregnancy?
BDurusoy @ 1:43 pm
Hi,
Do you ship to Turkey?
Jen @ 3:37 pm
@Yolanda - I don’t know about using it during pregnancy.. That’s a good question I’ll try to get an answer for. My guess is yes, it’s topical (you don’t swallow anything), but I don’t know for sure.
@BDurusoy - Yes, they ship to Turkey.
Cathy @ 1:07 pm
I am one of the MOST skeptical women out there when it comes to lotions, potions and make-up. However, EVERYTHING Jen has said about this product is true. EVERYTHING! It makes my face radiant! Thank you for your site and for your very thoroughly and truthful remarks. It is worth every penny!
Alex @ 5:54 am
I’m 44 and want to FINALLY start a skincare routine. Please advise what Cleanser, Toner, Moisturizer (do you need one if you use Lifecell?)and microdermabrasion, works best when using Lifecell. I live in Africa and also need a Moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15. Do you know if Lifecell contains any Sun protection?
Tim @ 7:21 pm
Hi, I know I am a guy but since my wife left me I noticed I have wrinkles and stuff and want to look younger again. I am tossing up between Lifecell and Freezox. Anyone tried both and can recommend? Thanx
Gayle Hyde @ 4:16 pm
I think the after photos would have more credibility if they had no makeup on. I’m a makeup artist and I can achieve the same results by applying makeup.The plainest person can look stunning with makeup. Regards Gayle
Jen @ 3:07 pm
@Tim - I’ve had quite a few people ask me about Freezox VS. LifeCell.
In my opinion, LifeCell is a much better product.
The prices are about the same.
The refund policy from LifeCell is much clearer and better (I can’t even find it when buying Freezox).
If I were you, I’d try LifeCell first. If you’re not happy, then try Freezox.

Auvere @ 9:44 am
I would like to know specifically if Lifecell is designed as a product that improves the condition of the skin over time….is the impact that this product has cummulative? in other words does it nourish & repair the skin or is it really on effective during use…If i used this product for one month and then stopped…would my skin immediately deteriorate without using Lifecell.
I ask as there are some ‘anti=aging’ or ‘age-repair’ products out there that really only tighten or moisturize temporarily…like a cosmetic treatment and then by the end of the day the effect is gone…
I am not interested in investing in a product that is not actually beneficial to my skin.
Thank you
Jessica @ 10:57 am
Auvere, I have been an Esthetician for the last 23 years and I know a thing or two about skin care. After doing tons of research I bought LifeCell. It is working great for me and the results are the best I have ever experienced with any skin care product. It has some of the most powerful anti-oxidants, anti-irritants and water binding agents that synergistically work over time to make you look younger and younger.
LifeCell certainly works, however, skin care is a life-long process. The more you take care of your skin the better it will appear. Besides as you get older you want to take more care of your skin because mother nature takes its toll. Just as you need food everyday to stay healthy and nourished… so also if you want youthful and healthy looking skin you have to take care of you skin everyday. I hope this helps. Jessica
Jen @ 10:19 am
@Auvere
Jessica beat me to it. Basically…yeah, what she said.
Yes, LifeCell will help your skin over time. Yes, it will help it short term also.
And, yes, what she said about the lifelong process is true. LifeCell is just part of what you should be doing to prevent/decrease aging.
Something she didn’t mention that I would say to make sure you do is use a good sunblock when you’re outside. Use one that has uva and uvb protection. This is so important for long term skin care.

Rodney @ 7:19 pm
Hi,
I am enjoying this blog. I am a 41-year-old guy who has been practicing routine skincare now for 20 years. Even with all the hundreds (probably thousands) of dollars I have spent on everything from L’Oreal to Estee Lauder, I can still see that I am aging. My skin does look good for its age, but yes, Father Time is definitely creeping in.
I read rave reviews about Lifecell a couple of weeks ago, and took the plunge to try it. I’ve been using it for about a week now. It is probably too soon to start seeing noticeable differences, but truly, my skin has never felt softer and the crows feet around my eyes are dimished. Should I expect these results to continue…and improve?
Nan @ 7:49 am
I am in in my 50’s. I would like to know how you compare Lifecell with Arbonne RE9 system? Daily I use the complete line and am ready for a change. I am very conscious of the deep lines around my eyes, and my skin is dry because I live in an area of the U.S. with cold, dry winters.
Also, I have two girls in college $$$. I’m apprehensive about the cost. How long will a tube of Lifecell last?
Jen @ 4:37 pm
@Nan - The standard the company says for one tube of LifeCell is 40 days. However, I know people for whom it lasts 60 days. It just depends on how much you use it and how much of it you use.
I also know that if you want, they’ll change the home delivery plan to be however often you want (within reason I think). I know someone told me they called LifeCell and changed their plan to be every 55 days, because that’s how often they needed the new tube.
Jen
Jessica @ 9:18 pm
I have been using LifeCell for a month but I did not see any improvement.
Chele @ 5:55 pm
I was wondering if anyone has sent you some before and after photos? Or if anyone would dare send me any On their site is eems like they put morterizer on and had a makeup artist like on the show 10 years younger. Do you know if the photos on the site represented one application or over time use
Thank you
Chele @ 5:56 pm
Also how new is this product? I can not find many reviews about it
Chele @ 6:00 pm
Do you know more people who this isn’t working for
Rodney @ 7:29 pm
Well, I left a previous message but got no reply. I would be very interested to have some discussions with those who have used LifeCell.
I do see some entries here where people are not noticing results. I understand the frustration, but what I would suggest is, be diligent and use it day and night. You will not likely see any results within a few days…or even a week really. Consider the way LifeCell works (deep within the skin); it is really not possible to create any noticeable improvement in only a week.
I will admit, I take issue with the claim that “the human eye cannot see a wrinkle”; rather, it sees the shadow cast by the wrinkle. Therefore, LifeCell uses some kind of microscopic 3-D prisms to fill in wrinkles; thus, making wrinkles disappear. This has not been my experience.
I have been using LifeCell for two weeks (today). The first week or so, I really saw no improvement to speak of. However, this last week, I do see improvement in the wrinkles near my eyes. I also see and feel a difference in the quality of my skin. It is hard to describe, but my skin has a youthful glow now, and it is much firmer and smoother than it was before LifeCell. My face almost has an airbrushed quality…weird for a guy, but true.
Anyway, I am not giving up on this product yet. Based on many reviews I have read, the third week is when dramatic changes tend to occur. So, I will report back after the third week has passed.
Cheers!
Iris @ 4:50 am
I have read some of the comments on how great the product is. Is there any samlpes to try before buying? Are the products of Lifecell suitable for sensitive skin or even the sensitive eye are? As we know, wrinkles once developed, there are no way it can be erase, only make less visible. Can it really work on the all the wrinkles around the whole eye area?
Hope to hear from you.
Chris @ 6:56 pm
Do you use this both morning and night? Is that way the 2.54 oz tube only last for a month and a half? I’ve been using the Arbonne RE9 skin care and the facial serum is less than 2.54 oz and last me for nearly six months. How much of this stuff do you need to put on your face?
It seems extremely pricey to only last a month or so.
Rodney @ 7:28 pm
Hi Chris!
I am not having much luck in initiating a discussion on Lifecell on this forum. I’ve left a couple of postings, but no replies. I guess people are busy?
Anyway, I think Lifecell is supposed to be used morning and night (twice a day). I have been using it for 3 weeks now, and the tube “feels” like it is about half full. This would support the information claiming that a tube lasts 40 days. I am not sure, but it probably is not as effective if you only use once a day. Certainly for what it costs, I “wish” it was possible to use once a day and get results, but I am not sure.
I “think” I am seeing results, but not sure. I probably should have started with half-face applications when I began. Now, after 3 weeks, my skin definitely feels smoother and I swear it looks and feels firmer. It is “$189/tube” firmer and smoother? Well, ths jury is out on that.
All I can say is, based on the ingredients in the product (according to the box label), Lifecell “should” make a difference in one’s skin. It is full of great things, but is it worth $189/tube, I have not decided yet. If a tube lasted 3-4 months, I wouldn’t mind the price at all. But, spending $189 every month and a half, I just don’t know. Although I do “think” I am seeing some improvememt in my skin, I am still waiting on the “wow” results that the advertisement promises. I e-mailed the company and asked how long should it take to see dramatic results. They replied and said most people see tremendous improvement in 4-6 weeks. That would mean by the time I use up the first tube.
We’ll have to wait and see, I guess!
Kathy @ 9:37 am
I have tried many skin/wrinkle creams and spent much more money than I could really afford–this includes Freezox for $200. Freezox comes in a tiny bottle with a pump dispenser. I was totally turned off to this product b/c there is no way it could make a real difference in your skin by using a 1/4 or 1/2 pump as directed, and no way could it last 3-4 mos. So, I ordered Lifecell partly b/c they allow you to try it without charging you for a month. But, after a month I canceled my next shipment b/c I could not justify paying the $149 every 6 wks. Well, I changed my mind when I considered the changes in my skin. I knew that my skin felt firmer and my wrinkles were reduced and my skin felt smoother. I’m still not sure if it’s worth the money but I didn’t want to give up the progress I had made, so I decided to go for another month before making my final decision.
Rodney @ 7:19 pm
I completely understand where you are coming from, Kathy. I am finding myself in the same boat. Based on what you wrote, it sounds like we are both experiencing similar results, but it also sounds like neither of us is “sure” that the results justify $149/6-weeks (on the discount plan). At this point, I have resolved to just continue using Lifecell until it is all gone.
I will say that I had an interesting experience today. I went grocery shopping and picked up a bottle of wine. When I reached the check-out counter, the wine was the first thing I sat on the counter. The “kid-clerk” (couldn’t have been a day over 22) immediately asked for my ID. I was shocked because it’s been awhile since I’ve been carded. I handed it to him, he quickly checked the date, and said “Cool”. He wasn’t checking the ID for the purpose of entering the date of birth into the cash register to verify age (which I have seen before). He was just verifying that I was “of age” to buy wine. Now, I have been carded by 70+ year old clerks, to whom anyone under 50 looks like a child. However, this was a kid who could not have been more than 22 years old. If he carded me, then to him, I must have looked (at least reasonably) like a peer.
I am going to be 42 in June.
Is the above scenario a result of Lifecell? Is it a fluke? Whatever it was, it made me feel great–and makes me want to persist in my use of Lifecell.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Jen @ 1:05 pm
@Rodney - That’s such a wonderful experience. Congrats! and thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
Whether or not it’s due to LifeCell…I can’t say.
The reason I recommend LifeCell so much us because when I compared it with everything else out there, nothing else came close to being as effective for as many people as LifeCell was.
Yes, other things can be more effective (Have you tried Retin-a over a long period of time?) but most of them only work on some people. From what I’ve seen LifeCell works on by far the broadest range of people out of all the products I’ve seen.
Now, here’s a question for you:
Are you using any sort of a regimen when you apply LifeCell?
I’m working on creating some videos right now of my own regimen that I’ve had such good results from. I think that if you’ll use a regimen (it doesn’t have to be mine…but mine has proven pretty effective) it will double the effectiveness of any cream you put on, not just LifeCell.
Anyway, I’ll let you know when I get my regimen posted on the site.
Jen
Nikki @ 2:31 pm
Rodney, I’ve been a LifeCeller for the last few weeks and the results are amazing. I understand your concern for the $189 price but I plead to disagree with you.
When you think of buying a separate anti-wrinkle cream, a moisturizer, a firming serum, a day cream, a night cream etc etc etc… it all adds up. With LifeCell - I have it all in one tube. Besides, most creams come in 1oz jars. LifeCell is 2.54 oz. That is a LOT of cream and it lasts me about 2 months. And I use it twice a day. I’ve never received so many compliments on my “beautiful soft skin” as I have after I started using LifeCell. The last time I can remember receiving so many compliments is when I was in my twenties. I love this product. It is worth every penny. Nikki
Natalie @ 8:29 pm
Does anyone know how LifeCell affects acne prone skin? I have always been challenged finding a good anti-aging treatment that did not cause my skin to be more oily or break out. I am 31 this year and have been battling with acne now for longer than I would like to admit. Any advice on this? Thank you.
Rodney @ 11:19 am
Hi all!
To Jen: Thanks for responding. Actually, I am not sure what to think anymore. I was delightfully carded by the 20-something at the well-lighted grocery store; yet, I ordered a martini in a dark bar last Saturday night, and the (evil) bartendress not only did not card me, but proceeded to lecture me on what does, and does not, comprise a “proper martini”! At this point in time, I don’t know how I feel about Lifecell. In some ways, I “think” I see results, while in other ways, I do not. Overall, I see no change (at all) in the fine (and they are just that: fine) lines around my eyes. I’ve just (as of today) finished by 4th week on the stuff. Is it still too early to tell? I am really wondering because I seem to have a yo-yo attitude about it. Can anyone advise me on when I might really notice something?
Oh–and as for the regimen, actually, I think that is a very good question because it is very possible that I am not using Lifcecell correctly. I know the instructions say “apply to a dry face”. I have tried that, but the problem I have is, when I apply it to my dry face, I end up using a LOT of product. What I have been doing to try to extend the life of the tube is, I have been splashing my face with water, and then applying the product. Could the water be diluting the effectiveness?
Also, I have some other products I have been using (before ordering Lifecell), and most of the time I will mix the Lifecell with a little bit of those other products. Another reason I have been doing this is that when I have applied JUST the Lifecell, my skin does not feel very moisturized…it feels like it needs something more.
To Nikki: I agree wholehearedly that if this product really works, then it is truly worth the price. I am just trying to decide, for myself, if the results I am seeing are worth $189/tube? I am still not “satisfied enough” with the results…and am honestly not sure/convinced that I AM seeing any results. Like I said, I think I really should have started with a half-face application so I could do some comparisons.
Gail @ 11:32 am
Can you tell me what facial wash compliments Lifecell’s results? I have combo skin/oily and dry.
Thanks Jen, this website is great!
David @ 9:40 pm
Hi,
I’ve spent the last 10 hours reviewing anti-wrinkle creams, and I’m glad I ran into your blog. It’s very challenging discerning what is legitimate information on the various products from marketing noise. Lifecell consistently comes up as one of the top rated anti-wrinkle products, but I’ve noticed that most people who are giving the product rave reviews are actually in the affiliate program for South Beach Skincare, the company that makes Lifecell (in other words, they are getting commissions when people buy Lifecell via clicking through their site). The link to the affiliate program is http://www.lifecellskin.com/affiliates/affsignup.php
Jen, are you in the affiliate program? Asked another way, are you getting commissions if people order Lifecell by visiting any links on your site and ordering the product? Either way, this is helpful forum.
I really want to believe all of the hype surrounding this product because I have deep smile lines for my age that I’d love to get rid of (or at least soften). Lifecell seems to be a potential solution, but I keep running into a bunch of red flags. I would love to have help researching these or help reconciling the red flags. Some of the red flags in no particular order are:
1. The inherent bias in many sites suggesting that they are giving independent reviews when they are actually in the company’s affiliate program and receive commissions for sales made through their site. Some disclaim this, some don’t
2. On the affiliate program application page, the offer is made by “Amit Suneja.” If you google him, you will find sites like “ferociousmarketingtiger” and “36milliondollarsecret” that basically say that this guy is a genius marketer and can outmarket virtually anyone (and for a fee, he’ll teach you how to do it!). This begs the question of whether Lifecell is a byproduct of a very slick marketer and marketing engine as opposed to well grounded science and efficacy.
3. Dr. Raj Bhayani, the doctor who opens with a powerful testimony on Lifecell, is pretty tough to find. Admittedely, there are a few “articles” that he wrote out there, but they are pretty weak at best. On certain sites, it lists this guy as a “Chief Resident, Oto-Head & Neck Surgery,” “Columbia University College of Physcians & Surgeons,” etc. I visited http://www.columbia.edu and searched for this doctor on the school directory and couldn’t find him. Next, I visited the web page for Columbia’s College of Physicians & Surgeons and there was no listing for him there. Next, what I find alarming is that on lifecell’s main homepage, they took down all of Dr. Bhayani’s credentials, as I guess they’ve been questioned by people in the past.
4. The date on the Ray Bhayani testimonial always stays current. As of this writing, the testimonial is as of “February 22, 2008.” I find this a little misleading as the letter obviously wasn’t written today but at an earlier date. I understand that this is done for marketing purposes to make everything seem current, but it’s misleading and calls the testimonial’s credibility into question.
5. The 200% money back guarantee only applies when you order 4 months of Lifecell in advance. You will get 200% of your initial purchase price of $189 back, but you will actually be on the hook for all four months…so you’d actually be out of pocket $378 ($189 x 2). Arguably, this is misleading marketing…
In fairness to Lifecell, the affiliate program issue seems to exist for a bunch of other “highly rated” products, but Lifecell’s website has very slick marketing, regardless of whether or not the product does everything it claims to do.
You would think that with everything I’ve written so far, that I won’t be trying the product. I’m actually very intellectually curious to see if this product does what it claims to do, or whether it’s another well marketed product that does nothing. I’m sure you can sense which side of the fence this product will come out on, but I will report back with my findings honestly.
Rodney, I will use the product on one side of my face to see if the product makes any difference and to better track any progress. You’ve now been using the product for over one month. What is your verdict?
Thanks
Rodney @ 12:28 pm
David,
Well, I did check out the Lifecell affiliate website and my heart sank as I continued to read down the page. If this is legitimate, then that would explain why I have found several of these “bestwrinklecream.com” websites, all claiming that Lifecell is the best. (I also notice that these sites only have reviewed a handful of other creams, which I always thought was odd: if you are creating a site devoted to reviewing anti-wrinkle creams, why only review 3-4?)
I also did similar research on Dr. Ray Bhayani and, like you, I also found the handful of articles on skin issues that he wrote. Nothing bad, but nothing earth-shattering, either.
It sounds like we are similar in that we are truly looking for the best anti-wrinkle cream out there—and are willing to do research to find the “best”. After reviewing various creams on the internet for several (but not 10) hours, I decided to try Lifecell. Even at the steep price, I figured if it worked the miracles that were claimed, it would be worth it.
I also have recently done some research on other skincare products, to determine if others contained similar ingredients as Lifecell. Imagine my surprise to learn that a myriad of other products by companies such as Avon, Olay, Estee Lauder, Elizabeth Arden and others also contain ingredients like Idebenone, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (argireline), and others contained by Lifecell. Actually one product that had already been sitting in my medicine cabinet for months (before Lifecell) already contained argireline—and I didn’t even know!
So now, with the knowledge about the affiliate thing, I no longer feel “comfortable” about the price of Lifecell. If South Beach Skincare is going this route, and are able to pay affiliates 50% of the cost, then what does that tell you about the outlandish price tag? Also, if Lifecell is as good as they say, then I am not sure why South Beach would waste their time on small-potato efforts life website affiliates anyway. If you are already sitting on a formula for the Fountain of Youth (which is what Lifecell is all but claimed to be), then why wouldn’t you spend some money on advertisements in Vogue, etc.—or invest in an infomercial? I don’t know who is responsible for South Beach marketing, but I think I could do a better job—and I am just an engineer!
Anyway, I hope that the info you posted is wrong because if it is right, then I already feel like I have been “had”. If your post survives long enough for you to see this reply, please contact me directly at Rodrod123@aol.com. I would love to have a discussion with you on your experiences, etc. with other products. Heck, if you DO order Lifecell and try it, then please let me know what those results are, too!
Sylvia Sanchez @ 1:28 pm
I tried LifeCell this fall. I was really excited to try the product - they have great marketing information and I reasoned the price would be offset by it being an all-in-one. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me: I broke out and couldn’t get it cleared up and my skin never really felt or looked smooth. I tried it for 2 tubes and then sent them back. I never did hear from them or get my refund, even though I had been communicating with Michelle throughout the time I was using LifeCell.
I have also tried Athena 7 Minutes. It worked really well, but it is tricky to put on and not leave the white residue, and inconvenient to work the 7 minutes into my daily routine.
David @ 2:41 pm
Rodney,
I read your post and wrote down your email address, so I will reach out to you soon. In continuing my research, I came across the site, http://www.smartskincare.com, that seems to be completely independent of any company or skin care product. They have reviewed hundreds of anti-wrinkle products on the market (http://www.smartskincare.com/reviews/product/functionidx/antiaging/), but what’s odd is that Lifecell, Athena 7 Minutes, and some of the other marketing driven products are not listed. The actual rating system for the products is pretty weak (poor, average, good, excellent), but it is very comprehensive. The fact that Lifecell is not listed is yet another red flag for me. Combining my research with Sylvia’s comments, I think it’s enough to make me pass on the product. I really would love to find a solution, b/c as mentioned, I have very deep smile lines that I’d like to get rid of or soften, but the Lifecell marketing combined with the red flags that I outlined, gives me serious doubts on the legitimacy and efficacy of the product.
On a side note, I found the variuos sites that reviewed only a select group of products pretty bizarre too. Some of these sites explicitly state that they are affiliates and receive commissions for sales on the products that they are reviewing, but most of the sites don’t. The disclaimers are what prompted me to dig into the South Beach Skincare affiliate program in the first place.
Rodney, for the record, have you seen any improvements since you started using Lifecell?
Thanks…and I look forward to continuing dialogue over email.
Rodney @ 7:05 pm
David,
Well, I must say that we are certainly having an interesting exchange of information. I also had seen smartskincare.com, and I never even noticed that Lifecell was not among the products they reviewed. Frankly, I have noticed a similar thing as far as ratings are concerned. With the few “bestantiwrinklecream.com” websites I have seen, I notice they give numerical reviews (x/100) for the products; but they provide absolutely no basis on how those numerical values were achieved/calculated.
As far as improvement, I “thought” I was seeing (at least feeling) an improvement in my skin, as it did feel dramatically softer than it used to. Also, I “thought” I was experiencing a tightening of the skin, after having used the product for a week or so. However, for right now, I honestly do not know. Maybe it was all in my mind.
At this point, I am very disappointed in learning about the affiliate thing. As I indicated before, if Lifecell was so great, there would really be no need for South Beach Skincare to establish such a method of marketing. The product—if it is that great—should be able to stand all on its own, without the need for the shilling websites I have seen.
I am very, very interested to see what kind of reaction and other comments that your information yields on this forum.
Susan @ 9:20 am
Hi,
This is for David and Rodney. Guys I really appreciate all of the research that you’re doing. However it’s pretty obvious that you don’t have a lot of knowledge on affiliate marketing. Most websites and or companies have affiliate marketing. It’s the way the web works nowadays. It’s the fastest, easiest, cheapest way to promote a product on the internet, it’s way cheaper than running ads on TV or in Magazines, so of course this is what most companies would rather do. Plus you can literally be selling products within hours if you know how SEO works, or you have a lot of affiliate marketers selling your product. So much as we want to believe that this makes a product questionable, it’s really not the case. Products have to be promoted one way or another, otherwise what’s the point? Unfortunately this does leave it open for a lot of scams. You’ve just got to keep that in mind and stay a little skeptical and not believe all the hype that you read. One other thing is that no product is going to work for everyone, so there’s always going to be a few detractors. I guess that’s what makes life so interesting!! We’re all different and react differently to everything. It would be pretty boring otherwise don’t you think?
I haven’t used Lifecell myself yet. I’ve just been messing around on the internet to see what’s out there. I may try it, though the price tag is pretty steep.
David @ 3:01 pm
Susan,
Speaking for myself, I have no problem with affiliate marketing in and of itself. I just think that it is a little disingenuous for various websites to be promoting Lifecell as the best product on the market without disclosing that they are receiving commissions on sales made from click throughs on their site (and this isn’t just a Lifecell specific issue…the same song is true for other products). A small handful of sites actually have disclaimers, but the majority of the sites hold themselves out to be “independent,” which isn’t really true if they are in an affiliate program with a given company. In and of itself, an affiliate program is no big deal, but writing an “independent” review (or making something look like an independent review) without disclosing a financial interest that one stands to gain by making that review great smells bad (and is certainly not a good/solid business practice and is misleading in my opinion). For me, this issue is just one of many, that when aggregated, causes Lifecell to fail the “sniff test.”
Rodney @ 7:36 pm
Hi,
Thanks for the information, Susan. You are right: I don’t have a lot of knowledge (none really) about affiliate marketing. I do understand (to a degree) that internet marketing can be different than conventional TV, magazine, or other types of marketing. I guess I am old-school to a degree.
I guess my primary concern is exactly the issue that David makes in his reply to your posting. When we see several “independent” (supposedly) product review sites out there–not only which find Lifecell to be the “best”, but also only review 3 or 4 products–then clearly it is understandable as to why they might appear suspicious. Why create all of these “skincare review” websites, if you are only planning to review 4 products?
Frankly, even with this new (to me) affiliate marketing method of advertisement, I still maintain that if Lifecell is as good as claimed and is the “Fountain of Youth”–(have you seen the Lifecell website?)–then I don’t understand why South Beach Skincare would go this route in promoting their product. Even thought it may be legitimate, it comes across as a little on the seedy side. Why invest so much money, effort and passion into formulating this wondrous product…only to cut corners in marketing it? Doesn’t make sense to me. The risk of coming across as disingenuous (for me) would far outweigh the extra cost of promoting it in more accepted, conventional forums.
The thing is…after all of this discussion and yo-yo-ing back and forth, it turns out that today was another positive day for me and my Lifecell experiences. I guess the jury is still out for me on this product. Will I repurchase? Possibly. However, because of the cost, it won’t be until after I try several other products that I have recently checked out in my research.
I will say, I did finally find a website that not only “appears” (to my naive eyes) to be a little more legitimate than some others, but it also actually lists Lifecell as being a worthy cream to try. Here is the link: http://www.medhealthreports.com/wrinkleproducts/
Let me know what you think!
Phyllis Catherine @ 10:05 am
Hi, i too have been researching sites with skincare information and have been very inteested in lifecell.
David and rodney’s contribution has really made me stop and think before making such a big purchase for lifecell, it really appears to be a very slick advertising campaign… having said that.. does it work? i for one will be watching David and Rodney’s comments… thanks guys….

shaquetta @ 6:02 pm
Hi Guys
I’ve been reading the above comments & look i have to tell you…everybody’s skin is different, so everybody will get a different result.
I have been using LifeCell for around 3 months & the difference for me has been huge.
Seriously, the dark circles under my eyes have virtually gone, and my wrinkles on my forehead & crows feet have REALLY lessened. My skin feels soft & glowing! It is the BEST product i have used…and i have tried the LOT! This cream is like a miracle for me.
Do i care that they do affiliate marketing? Do i care that their website is slick advertising, in-my-face & ewwy? Not really, no!
All i care is that it works, and it does for me. I took the plunge & I’m really glad I did.
Hey Rodney, if you don’t like it or can’t decide, heck, just ask for a refund! What’s the problem?
But as i say, everybody’s different….
Cheers,
Shaquetta
Rodney @ 6:45 pm
Hi Shaquetta,
Actually, there is no problem at all. I have stated quite clearly (in previous postings) that I have not yet made up my mind about Lifecell. There are times when I think I see results, and there are times when I don’t.
As far as the refund, it is too late to ask, as my 30-day trial period is over. Besides, in the event that Lifecell will (eventually) work for me, I figure at this point, I may as well use up the entire tube before deciding.
I agree: everyone’s skin is different. (Incidentally, if you read a previous post of mine, you will see that I do state that based on the ingredients in Lifecell, it should have some effect on your skin.) My point was that I was not sure how quickly I would/should see results.
Do I care about the affiliate marketing? Frankly, yes, I do. When I am spending $189 for a tube of product, I’d like to think that I am primarily paying for the efficacy, research, and quality behind the product. In the case of Lifecell, it appears that half of that $189 is lining an affiliate’s pocket, versus legitimately covering [and justifying] the high cost of product ingredients. I have no problem in paying good money for a high quality product that delivers results.
However, as I have also said before, if Lifecell was really “that good”, there really should be no need for marketing it via affiliates. If you have done the level of research that some of us have, you would only need to do a couple of “Lifecell reviews” searches on Google or Yahoo to discover the level of apparent affiliate marketing for this product. I am sure it is completely legal and legitimate, but none of that changes the fact that it just comes across as smarmy.
I have been using Lifecell now for 6 weeks. I have very, very fine lines around my eyes. I have noticed absolutely no improvement in them. None. The biggest improvement I can say without question, is that my skin most definitely feels smoother and softer. It FEELS nicer, but visibly, I see no change after 6 weeks.
Again, as stated previously, my jury is still out. I probably have 2-3 weeks left in the tube. I will continue until the product is completely gone, and then I’ll come back with a final assessment.
Thanks for listening!
Lin @ 7:29 am
Hi,
I’ve started following this thread since I received my first shipment 3 days ago. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It’s been very helpful and I feel I get more balanced views here.
After thinking about it for a couple of weeks, I thought I might just try it and see if it works for me, even if I’m kinda skeptical. Don’t try, don’t know, right? Certainly, my wrinkles didn’t “disappear” in the first 60 secs, like it said it would, but then I didn’t expect that to happen, anyway. So I’ll see how it goes and keep you posted.
Thanks!
Lin

ronny o sullivan @ 9:33 am
thank you for your help
Rodney @ 7:45 pm
Hi Lin,
The “wrinkles gone in 60 seconds” issue you bring up is one that bothered me with the first application of Lifecell (on the day it arrived). The advertising for Lifecell says (paraphrased), “the human eye cannot see a wrinkle; rather it only sees the shadow that is cast by the wrinkle”. Thus, Lifecell contains these “little microscopic prisms that fill in the wrinkles” so that “the human eye can no longer see the wrinkle shadows”.
Frankly, that is pure baloney because I have the finest of fine lines…and Lifecell made no improvement at all in my tiny faint little lines. They certainly did NOT disappear after 60 seconds, and even after 6 weeks of use, they still have not disappeared, nor lessened.
Jim @ 7:04 pm
To David and Rodney,
For 2 guys who don’t have a problem or a lot of knowledge about affiliate marketing, you’re both taking a pretty negative view of it. From the time we were kids, we were taught to have a healthy skepticism of all advertising. Don’t believe everything you read. As long as you do your research (and you’re both doing some excellent research), you don’t have to worry about getting scammed. Affiliate marketing is no different.
I can understand your frustration with “best product ever” reviews. Take the review Jen wrote on LifeCell. She either truly believes that this is a great product or she is just writing this review to get you to try the product so she can get commission. My guess is that the truth is somewhere in the middle. But this forum has value because it gives users of LifeCell a chance to share their experiences. It’s all about getting enough information to make a decision. If you try LifeCell because of the information you received on this forum, she deserves commission.
Rodney, I enjoyed your remark about how you don’t know who does their marketing, but you could do a better job - and you’re an engineer. This is the same guy David researched and found that “this guy is a genius marketer and can outmarket virtually anyone”. If you don’t understand, and therefore put down affiliate marketing (calling it seedy), then what makes you think you can do a better job than an expert?
Let’s say that, after years of R&D, you discovered the next big anti aging breakthrough. So now you’re going to market your new product the “old school” way. First, you might send out some press releases to get a little free buzz. Then you start advertising in Vogue and the hundreds of other women’s & seniors magazines. Don’t forget all the ezines. Newspapers, tv, radio, direct mail. And don’t forget, these are all recurring expenses. How long do you think it would take to get your investment back?
So after spending however much on R&D, you’re going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (if not millions) to roll out your product. This is amazingly time consuming. You won’t be able to do all this yourself, so of course you have to hire a marketing team to handle this for you. Another expense. All these expenses would add to the cost of your product.
Now let’s say that you started an affiliate program instead. Some affiliates will just put up a simple review page with their link to the product. But there are many affiliates who advertise in magazines, ezines, newspapers and other conventional ways. Now imagine you have hundreds of affiliates advertising your product like this. Plus, you have affiliates who place search engine ads and write articles that spread across the internet like wildfire. You have affiliates all over the world working to sell your product. You’re saving millions in advertising. You’re saving time. You’re saving yourself the headache of having to hire an entire marketing team. The 50% commission is a bargain. There’s no question which is the most effective marketing technique.
I know this thread is supposed to be about LifeCell and I apologize for being so long-winded. I didn’t want anyone to think that using affiliate marketing in any way means that the product is a scam. It’s not a cheap or seedy way to market your product. By the way, the site http://www.medhealthreports.com/wrinkleproducts/ is also an example of affiliate marketing. They get commission on every product listed. Nothing wrong with that. If they gave you good information that convinced you to try the product, they deserve the commission.
I hope you don’t take offense at anything I’ve said. That was not my intention. And please keep us posted on your progress with LifeCell. That’s why I came to this forum in the first place.
All the best,
Jim
Jen @ 9:45 am
I think I need to set the record straight about all this “affiliate” stuff.
First, I knew nothing about it until a friend of mine found out about this site and started telling me about it.
It sounded good to me to be able to make a little money from all the work I’ve done so I had her set up whatever needed to be set up for the affiliate stuff.
This was very recently, AFTER I had written most of the reviews on this site (yes…including the LifeCell one). Now, fortunately for me, I get a little compensation from a few of the companies I’ve written reviews for.
I didn’t write any of the reviews on this site to “get you to buy” that product. I wrote them because that was my experience (either my personal experience or experience of people who I’ve talked with).
Yes, I do make a little money from some of them now. Yes, I have put a lot of work into this site and Yes, I really do stand behind what I’ve said about the products.
No, I don’t work for any of the companies (I have people ask me this all the time on the meebo chat thing).
If you’re concerned about the whole “affiliate” thing, feel free to go buy something else. I only put this site up to let other people know what I had found out about the different wrinkle creams.
The fact is, LifeCell really does work for most people. No, it doesn’t work for everyone. Nothing does. But, it works better and for more people than anything I’ve tried or seen other people try.
All the chats and comments that are on my site are real. They’re real things users have either posted directly on the site (I don’t edit things…the purpose of the site is to help people, and having comments from other people is certainly helpful) or chats that I’ve had with people on the site.
So, in the end, no, I didn’t write all this stuff just to make a buck from being an affiliate. Most of you know more about the whole affiliate thing than I do. It just happens to be a way for me to make a little money off the hard work I’ve put into helping people find the best wrinkle cream.
I hope my website has been helpful to you.
Yanet @ 5:13 pm
Thank you for your comment
I was thinking of purchasing this product it seems to good to be true.
I just tried Youtholgy Product & it doesn’t work either scam & waste of money.
trish @ 5:27 pm
i have a few questions about lifecell. i’ve looked at the webpage, which is a bit long. are the ingredients they list and discuss the only ingredients in the treatment, or are there other ingredients? if so, what are they? are the ingredients natural? also, is there any spf in it? and it is non-comedogenic?
thanks,
trish
Rodney @ 5:45 pm
I was planning to refrain from posting any more information until I finished my tube of Lifecell. But after these latest postings, I do feel I should respond.
First to Jim: No offense taken at all. I appreciate the time you took to explain/rationalize/justify the existence of the affiliate marketing process. Actually, when I wrote previously that I could do a better job of marketing Lifecell, that statement was made somewhat tongue-in-cheek. From a layman’s point of view, I was just stating how the whole process came across to me.
As for your comment: “This is the same guy David researched and found that ‘this guy is a genius marketer and can outmarket virtually anyone’.” Actually, what David wrote was: “If you google him, you will find [web] sites… that basically say that this guy is a genius marketer and can outmarket virtually anyone (and for a fee, he’ll teach you how to do it!).” Just because these sites may “basically say he is a genius marketer” does not necessarily mean that he is. (I guess I have done enough research by now to know better than taking for truth anything and everything I see in print.)
One thing I do want to say to Jen: Thank you for your complete honesty and integrity in how you operate this forum. You could have pulled David’s, mine, and others’ comments here that question the product and that discuss lack of results. However, the fact that you have allowed them to remain, while explaining your side of the equation, speaks volumes for your character as a person and a businesswoman. I wish you the best in all your endeavors, and I thank you again for the wonderful service you are providing to your customers.
Lin @ 7:52 am
Hi,
Thanks for setting the record straight, Jen.
As for me, after 10 days of use, the only noticeable improvement is to my lips, which used to be dry and flaky, so my lipstick glides on better. But no other improvement on my skin. Like Rodney, will wait till I get to the end of my tube.
But I wonder if it’s safe to ingest, because I actually apply in on the lips. Also, I too wonder if what other ingredients they have besides the ones described on their website. In Singapore, it’s a requirement to list all the ingredients in a cosmetic product(but not the concentrations), so I was surprised to find that the tube and the product leaflet do not list any ingredients.
Lin
Nina @ 12:57 pm
I’ve been using lifecell for 6 weeks now. My skin looks more plumped up than before but I have not seen any real wrinkle improvement. My main concern is the tiny itchy pimples I have been getting since I started using it. Beware- I bought 1 months supply for $189 but received an email after 40 days saying my next shipment was being dispatched within 3 days. Fortunately I checked my mail in time and cancelled the shipment but if for any reason I hadn’t my second tube would have arrived and been charged to me without my ordering it. I will finish my tube and let you know. Would really appreciate any tips for application. Also, should I be using it on my whole face or just my wrinkles?
Nina, England
Kris @ 5:38 pm
I have been using for a week and no changes noted. I will say I think this isn’t a very good moisturizer and I really don’t like the way my skin feels dry and cakey after application.
I also find the before and after pictures very misleading. ALL of the before pitures are taken with no make up and no smiling. ALL of the after pictures are taken with make up and full smiles. You can’t really call those valid comparisons IMHO. Apples and oranges.
So far not impressed but will use until it’s gone.
Rodney @ 5:38 pm
Ok, ok…I know I said I would not reply any further until I finished my tube, but I have noticed several requests for the full ingredient listing for Lifecell. Actually, the bottom flap of the box that Lifecell was shipped to my home in, does contain the full list of ingredients. I assume some of you have thrown the box away, but I still have mine (I am a pack-rat). As a courtesy to all—-and to keep the information flowing—-here is the full listing of ingredients of Lifecell (as printed on the flap of the Lifecell box):
“Water, Caprylic/capric Triglycerides, Ethoxydiglycol, Stearic Acid, Peg-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Di-isopropyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Peg-40 Stearate, Oxido Reductases, Soy Peptides, Cyclomethicone, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Extract, Deanol, Dithiolane-3-Pentanoic Acid, Copper Gluconate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Idebenone, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Fumed Silica, Silicon Dioxide, Propyl Gallate, Bha, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance”
Hope this helps!
Lin @ 7:34 am
Thanks, Rodney!
Jim @ 11:48 am
Jen,
I agree with Rodney 100%. You don’t delete the comments from people who say LifeCell doesn’t work. Since we’re all different, there is no one product that works for everyone. You make that very clear. There are some who are reading this and wondering if they should give it a try. If you’re trying to decide based only on other people’s opinions, you’ll be banging your head against the wall before long. Here is something that may help you decide. I haven’t seen one posting anywhere that says that LifeCell does not honor their guarantee. Of course, I could have missed it, but usually complaints are pretty easy to find. If they were a dishonest company, there would be postings all over the place.
I also want to compliment you on how this site is set up. I can see why you rank so high on Google when I searched for LifeCell skin care.

hummm. This has been a very interesting read for sure. I am a big product person and have a couple of plastic surgeons on retainer, you could say. There is not much I have not tried. So of course I have the life cell. I spend upwards of 300.00 a month on skincare so the cost was not an issue for me. I actually thought it might be an ok product until visiting this site.
I was concerned when Jen was ask if she was making commission on this product and she seem to vanish. There was no post from her at all for over 2 weeks. I am sure she was trying to determine the appropriate response.
However the lack of response for 2 weeks speaks volumes. This forum has turned me off to the product because she is being paid for her opinions. With all of the interest in fountain of youth products out there if this was a scientifically backed discovery it would be in all the medical journals and on every news show. However it is being pushed by paid advertisers on the internet.
Very disappointed indeed.

Jamie,
I’m a little confused. If you already have the LifeCell product, then why would anything said on this forum affect your opinion? If you’re already using the product, the only thing that matters is if it’s working for you or not.
Since you’ve tried so many products, can you tell us how LifeCell compares?. Do you like it? Is it working for you? How long have you been using it? What other products have you tried?
If you don’t like the way LifeCell is marketed, that’s fine (don’t get me started on affiliate marketing again - lol!!). Since you already have the product, then your opinion is the most important thing. I hope you’ll share it with us.
All the best,
Jim

@Jaime,
Just because I didn’t post for a few weeks doesn’t mean I was “trying to determine the appropriate response.”
I’m a mom and a husband. I don’t check the comments every day. Sometimes I go more than a week without checking them.
And, as Jim said, since you have the product, why don’t you post your experience instead of speaking poorly of me? I think everyone would like to know your experience with LifeCell.
When it comes down to it, I have seen LifeCell work more often, and better, than any other product I’ve seen. This is further evidenced by all the comments I get from people saying “I tried XYZ product and it didn’t work at all, but LifeCell did.”
No, there isn’t any one product that will work for everyone. I’ve said that before.
What I don’t understand is how this forum could turn you off the results of LifeCell?

Hi,
I’m 25 and was wondering if LifeCell was created for middle-aged to older people or if its safe and practical for younger people who also want soft, bright skin as well as eliminate wrinkles and dark under eye circles?
My greatest concern is the dark circles I have under my eyes. Has anyone using the product seen dramatic improvements with dark under eye circles? And, does Lifecell make one’s skin more sensitive to sun exposure? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.

I have been useing LIFE CELL SKIN for two weeks and haven’t notice any changees in my face at all.how long is it going to take.
Ally @ 5:18 pm
I have big pores… does LifeCell help reduce pores? Thanks
Gail @ 10:35 am
I have tried practically every anti-aging product available on the market the last 4 years- most thru extensive research and with high user ratings, and I have found Lifecell to be the best. I have been using it now for about 2 weeks, and have had the best results based on other products I have used in the past. For me it’s working, and it’s working miracles. I’m sorry to hear that some are not experiencing the same benefits. I give it a full 5 stars!
lulu @ 12:16 pm
Does anyone have a problem with the refund? I am thinking to try this product but this company seems very small - no toll free number and no live support person.
maz @ 3:54 am
yes i used it and iam 48 and i didnt see nay differnce at all and i didnt need a camera to see it ,but they happily refunded my money ,the service was good
Jen @ 7:19 am
@joe gilberto - Everyone’s skin is different. Some people see great results in 1-2 weeks, others take 6-8 weeks. Just the other day I had someone message me saying they were glad they had stuck with it because around 7-8 weeks after using Lifecell they started seeing good results.
Sorry I can’t give you a better answer…it totally depends on your skin.
@Ally - While I don’t have big pores, so I can’t say from personal experience, I have seen LifeCell reduce the size of large pores on quite a few women. I’m not saying it will work on everyone, but I have seen it work quite a few times, and I’ve also had 3 or 4 people chat with me saying that it helped reduce their pores also.

Hi, I’ve been reading what everyone has said and told myself I’d post once I’ve used it for at least a month (I’ve got half a tube left). Here goes:
I found no difference in my hyperpigmentation spots.
I found that the deep lines under my eyes that I’ve had since I was a child (due to constant rubbing from allergies) have softened a little.
BUT the most noticeable difference I have found is that my pores look more refined and my face has become more lean! It sounds weird but it seems like the skin was pulled back so the jawlines are more defined and my cheeks not so puffy. Someone actually asked me if I had lost weight (I wish!)
I decided to discontinue using lifecell for 4 days to see if anything “reversed”. Much as I didn’t want to admit it, it did. I know the last two effects are not claimed by lifecell to be a benefit of using the product but I’ve decided to continue using it until the end of my next tube to decide whether I’d stop or not. BTW, I’m 41 years old. Hope this helps any of you out there who’s still deciding! I found the comments from everyone here to be a good reality check of what lifecell can and cannot do, so thanks everyone!
lisa @ 5:44 am
how does it plump ypour lips and does this stay with continoued use?
aslo the botox alternative can only work using 10% of argaline … this isnt in the ingrediants????
lisa @ 6:09 am
hi it does contain argaline but how much % . and only vitamin k and retionaol wil help reduce dark circles long term………..
Doreen @ 7:59 am
Hi there,
I noticed your positive comment about this product helping w/wrinkles and brown spots on face. That is a big problem for me and am very self conscious about my face, I hate it! I’ve tried everything……….my question is, “Has it really helped disappear the brown spots?” Your feedback to me is so greatly appreciated….
lisa @ 5:23 am
i asked thenm how much argaline is in and they gave me some stupid patter about the secrets of diet coke, they are the only company who didnt tell me… seems dodgy
Jenny @ 5:40 pm
I’ve been a cosmetologist for 14 years and I can tell you that skin care formulations that really work are guarded as securely as the state secret. I can understand why they aren’t giving you the percentages. Companies spend millions of dollars in research and development. If they give out the formulation… everyone can copy it. What reason would they have to spend the money to come up with a formula that actually works. I’m in no way associated with LifeCell. I just happen to see amazing results by using it and I can understand through my cosmetologist experience why they won’t give the formula out. Jane
Theresa @ 10:46 am
Is the “free” 30 day supply sample, really free? Or, are you in fact paying for it at the end of the 30 days, if you decide you like it? I couldn’t tell whether you were paying for what you already had, or whether your card was charged for the next supply….
Also - I read here that the regular supply cost is $189….. How long does that last?
Does it help with skin around the eyes that’s been thinned due to having to have ovaries removed (as well as skin damage in my teenage years). I had to have them removed two years ago due to being diagnosed with breast cancer, and have seen a hugh increase in my eye wrinkles!!
Thanks!

Hey Jen
is that your photo or not? i saw it on a stock photo website…who are you really? is this just a front for lifecell?

Tam @ 11:59 pm
Did you have a chance to compare “Life Cell” with “Muac Caracol”? Does anyone?
Thanks,
Jen @ 2:44 pm
@shaquetta
You’re right, it’s not me. I put myself “out there” too much with my website as is to also put a real picture of myself on it. There are too many weirdos online for me to want to risk it.
I’m not quite as pretty as the woman in that picture…just wishful picturing…

Hi all, thanks for the great forum.
I too don’t think Lifecell passes the “sniff test” for the following reasons:
I think it’s strange how the people who give testimonials on the Lifecell website do not really exist. You would think the person that is the European Royalty would be known to Google or Wikipedia. Further, the Las Vegas Cosmetologist that does bridal make up, does not have a website?…How does she get business? I tried to Google her and the only thing that came up in Las Vegas was a Street that shared her first and last name! I also thought it was skeptical about the Plastic Surgeon who doesn’t seem to exist, and how every website that plugs the product seems to use the same advertising wording. I have yet to see Lifecell promoted by one independent well know organization…as all the references on the top of the Lifecell website (e.g. to WebMD, MayoClinic, etc), when I go to their websites and search Lifecell, nothing comes up. If NBC and the NY times and the lot really was promoting Lifecell, you would think Lifecell’s comprehensive website would quote the establishments’ raving abou
