Youth Factor

Claiming to use the “science of beauty”, Youth Factor promises to give the “illusion” of flawless skin by moisturizing your skin, but also provide collagen and relax muscles to reduce wrinkles for a botox like effect. In short, they probably use argireline, maybe matrixyl, and a lot of moisturizers. But at the very least, they don’t test on animals, which is always nice to know.

Ingredients and Mechanism of Action:

Youth factor provides you with “herbal ingredients.” But that’s as far as the description goes. No main ingredients, no real hints at what they might be, no specific names, just “herbal ingredients.” There are really no “herbal ingredients” that can increase collagen stores or relax muscles. Only peptides, which can only be found from animal sources, have that kind of power, hence argireline.

Overall Impression of Youth Factor:

Not testing on animals is not enough to prove that your product works. It might work if you’re creating foundations or lipsticks. But if you’re trying to create a wrinkle formula, it doesn’t quite fly or pass the check. It is extremely expensive, especially considering the lack of information that you are getting.
