Does Hydroderm Work?
All over the US, women are asking "does Hydroderm work?"
The sad answer is a definite NO!
The product makes bold claims, and is hyped as a miracle wrinkle remover cream that delivers "instant" results. However, the consumer Hydroderm reviews are nowhere near as positive as Hydroderm's self-generated hype.
The manufacturers claim that they use a leading edge, scientific mixture of peptides, collagen and natural botanicals that can restore the skin's "youthful" appearance.
The reality is that smearing collagen and proteins on the surface of your skin does not effect collagen or proteins INSIDE your skin.
Hydroderm is also expensive, and has been subject to complaints for poor customer service and failure to live up to the money back guarantee.
However, the big issue with Hydroderm wrinkle remover cream is not "can I get refund?" It is "does Hydroderm work?"
The beauty industry guru and "cosmetic cop" Paula Begoun has called Hydroderm's claims "laughable". In fact, in her exhaustive review of the product, the one single positive she reports is that Hydroderm do disclose all their ingredients on their website.
Far from being a 21st century, scientific breakthrough, Hydroderm uses 1980s collagen-based technology that didn't work 20 years ago and guess what? It doesn't work now!
You see, collagen is the protein that provides structural support for the skin by making up the skin's connective tissue. As we age, our bodies make less and less collagen, and our skin becomes less elastic. This is what leads over time to wrinkles and sagging.
Collagen injections are effective because the collagen is inserted back into the skin's structure. However, smearing a collagen-based wrinkle remover cream onto the surface of the skin is pointless as collagen cannot be absorbed in this manner.

There is absolutely no clinical or independent research to prove any of Hydroderm's wrinkle removal claims, and in 2005 the FDA had to write to the company to insist that many of the more outrageous cliams and commercials be withdrawn.
There are wrinkle remover creams that are more effective, and there are simple, scientifically proven steps you can take every day to delay aging. Olay Regenerist is less than $20 at the drugstore and, unlike Hydroderm, has evidence to back it up.
- Use a proven product with clinically demonstrated power such as the Anti-Aging Duos above.
- Use sunscreen. Boring, but true. This is the most effective single thing you can do to prevent wrinkles.
- Get your antioxidants the natural way. Take a multi-vitamin and eat berries, broccoli, spinach, grapes, green tea, and carrots.
- If you really want to go the extra mile, get a prescription vitamin A retinoid, and invest in a professional skin peel from a dermatologist.
- If you were considering shelling out for Hydroderm, then treat yourself to a true luxury product and buy one of the few high-end wrinkle remover creams that is actually PROVEN TO WORK: Elizabeth Arden Ceramides.
The FDA sent Hydroderm a warning letter because in the the view of the US regulator, the claims being made were unjustified. In other words, if you asked the FDA "Does Hydroderm work AS ADVERTISED?", the government researchers would say "No".
