How does Cosmedique work?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The labeling for Cosmedique<\/strong> says that it works by conditioning, restoring, and protecting the skin, helping it to reduce the signs of aging and to prevent further damage to the tissues and cellular structure of the face and other key areas. They do this by attempting to increase the overall levels of key nutrients that the skin needs, such as minerals, collagen, and fatty acids and other lipid structures.<\/p>\n

They also claim to help with the proliferation of new skin cells, which is a key factor in keeping skin flexible, firm, and youthful looking. Another possible benefit that they mention is 24-hour hydration. While hydration is another one of the more important features of a skin care product, it is difficult to verify how long their product may be effective for, especially in regards to hydration levels, which are notoriously difficult to measure.<\/p>\n

Who makes this supplement?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

On the official Cosmedique<\/strong> website they do not list a parent company or any affiliate brands. They do, however list the following contact data:<\/p>\n

Phone Number:<\/strong> (855) 315-7475<\/p>\n

Address: <\/strong>1451 W. Cypress Creek Rd. #300<\/p>\n

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309<\/p>\n

Email:<\/strong> support@cosmedique.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite their lack of posted information about their brand, our research team dug deeper and found out that they do seem to have a parent and several affiliate brands. Cosmedique<\/strong> is owned by a company known as Beauty Care Products, a cosmetics and wellness products manufacturer that has a somewhat negative reputation online.<\/p>\n

They have a \u201cD\u201d rating with the Better Business Bureau, who received so many complaints about Beauty Care Products that they were forced to send correspondences seeking their cooperation in reforming their business practices. The BBB did not receive a reply from Beauty Care Products.<\/p>\n

The main issue that previous customers have complained to the BBB about is their use of a somewhat misleading \u201cfree trial offer\u201d program. There were also complaints that our team found that said that Beauty Care Products made charges on their credit cards without authorization beyond even those associated with the trial program.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s inside of it and are there side effects?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Cosmedique<\/strong> does not publish their official supplement facts or contents list, however they do list some ingredients in their advertisements, which include:<\/p>\n

Caviar Extract:<\/strong> Chemicals that are theoretically derived from the eggs of the sturgeon fish, which are most known as an expensive culinary delicacy. There is not enough reliable scientific data about the benefits of caviar extracts for our team to be able to recommend them to our readers at this time.<\/p>\n

Swiss Apple Stem Cells:<\/strong> A derivative if a specific brand of apple, which has been shown to help the skin generate new cells. This can contribute to a youthful, healthy appearance for the skin, as well as helping to improve its durability and solar reflectivity.<\/p>\n

Algae:<\/strong> An ingredient that is found in some skin care products due mostly to its potential antioxidant effects. The clinical data about algae does not suggest that it is as potent as many of its distributors may like to claim, however it seems unlikely that it could have and significant negative effects on its users.<\/p>\n

Vitamin E:<\/strong> A key nutrient that is used in the formation of new skin cells, among other necessary biological functions.<\/p>\n

Hyaluronic Acid:<\/strong> A chemical found in the skin that can help it retain moisture and cellular health.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s good about Cosmedique?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Many of the ingredients that Cosmedique<\/strong> does choose to disclose have shown extremely promising results in clinical scientific tests. Our team particularly recommends apple stem cells, which are one of the more promising new ingredients on the market today.<\/p>\n

Apple stem cells have shown an ability to help stimulate new cellular growth and can help create new, healthy skin tissue. While the study into their effects is still relatively new, it has been promising enough so far that apple stem cells are now considered one of the more powerful additives that are available for use in over the counter skin care products.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s bad about Cosmedique?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

One of the main issues that our team has with Cosmedique<\/strong> is their sales structure, which is extremely untraditional and relies on pricing that is far outside the range of what our team would consider normal for products in this category. If users sign up for the trial, they do not simply receive a sample tube of Cosmedique<\/strong>, but they are also enrolled in a program that charges them between $147.50-$187.50 every other month.<\/p>\n

The explanation of this program is not prominently listed in the promotional materials for Cosmedique<\/strong>, leading many to believe that it is an intentionally misleading scam. The strangely high price that they charge does not seem to dispute this theory.<\/p>\n

Additionally, our team does not recommend any product that does not publish their full nutritional facts panel. To fail to do so means that it is possible that there could be other ingredients used in their blend, such as damaging alcohols or astringents, or even products that could lead to unforeseen health consequences.<\/p>\n

What do consumers think about Cosmedique?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Cosmedique<\/strong> does not seem to have developed a positive relationship with their customer base so far. They have a 100% negative customer review rating with the Better Business Bureau and have received over 70 formal complaints within the last three years.<\/p>\n

In that time, the BBB has not received a single positive review from any of their past customers. They have also received a number of very negative comments, blog and forum posts, and industry reviews, including the following quotations:<\/p>\n

\u201cTotal scam just designed to get credit card info. I think they know that their stuff doesn\u2019t work and just don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf anything, I feel like this stuff just dried me out even worse than I was before.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a bad reaction to Cosmedique, but when I tried to return it they refused. I got sent another bottle and charged again after that too, even though I\u2019d clearly told them that I didn\u2019t like it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Complaints of product quality were second to complaints about their manipulative business model by a large margin, however they were still plentiful enough that our team did not get a positive impression of its effectiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
