Avage Review
Dark spots, wrinkles and pigmentation are a common problem that prevails with ageing women. The cosmetic market has an array of products that guarantee relief from these problems and never let them reappear, if used regularly.
Avage by Allergen is one such cream. From the makers of Botox, this cream asserts that it has the potential to diminish fine lines that surround your eyes, cheeks and jaw line. More than a cream, it advertises itself as a medication that is available exclusively through prescriptions.
Tarzarotene is the real active ingredient, or say the main constituent of Avage. Besides this, it also contains Benzyl alcohol as a preservative, with other ingredients like Carbomer 934P, Carbomer 1342, Edentate Disodium, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Mineral Oil, Purified Water, Sodium Thiosulfate, Sorbitan Monooleate and Sodium Hydroxide.
Beauty experts believe that these ingredients have a high potential to skin irritation, and on the contrary have no direct effect on reducing wrinkles or skin renewal.
The ingredients make it a retinoid type of supplement which might reduce acne but does not help to reduce wrinkles much. In the case of acne as well, it works as a medication by drying the bacteria, which can further irritate the skin. For an acute problem of pimples or acne, Avage may work but one doubts it when it comes to the removal of fine lines.
Overall Impression of Avage
This is not to be forgotten that Avage is a medication and not a beauty cream. This should be enough for you to understand that it can cause side-effects on your skin, if you are planning to use it without doctor’s advice.
The amount of Tarzarotene it includes makes it unsafe for people with sensitive skin. As Avage reacts with many common medicines, it is a complete NO if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are breast-feeding. With so many ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ attached, Avage does not become a safe and easy choice for an anti-wrinkle treatment.
