When it comes to turning back the hands of time, I have realistic expectations. In fact, I’ve been better at slowing them than at turning them back, but I am up for trying anything that could help me do either one.
New StriVectin Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum is unlike any other serum I’ve tried.
Instead of having water as its first ingredient, it’s the 6th ingredient. The StriVectin Wrinkle Recode ingredient list starts off with emollients, so it is not a watery serum. Instead, it is a super concentrated, thick clear gel.
Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Isocetyl Behenate, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Aqua (Water, Eau), Myristyl Nicotinate, Sucrose Stearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Propanediol, Sucrose Palmitate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Polyglyceryl-10 Behenate/Eicosadioate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Prinsepia Utilis Seed Oil, Caprylyl Methicone, Methylglucoside Phosphate, Phenoxyethanol, BHT, Tocopherol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Copper Lysinate/Prolinate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, Fragrance (Parfum), Isononyl Isononanoate, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Isopropyl Myristate, Propylene Carbonate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Linalool, CI 17200 (Red 33 Lake)
To apply, pump out about a pearl’s worth, warm it between your hands and press onto clean skin. To me, it feels like I’m applying a barrier to keep hydration inside my skin. I would say it feels like I’m applying a primer. It’s truly different from most serums I recall trying, and it’s more like a treatment product from Exuviance that I like that helps minimize deep wrinkles.
StriVectin Wrinkle Recode is supposed to melt into the skin, and you apply moisturizer on top. For me, it doesn’t sink into my skin, at least not right away. It sort of provides a protective cushion. Interesting. Because it doesn’t really sink into my skin, I use it only at night rather than twice a day per the directions.
StriVectin brings in the science of epigenetics, the switching on or off of genes, to its explanation for how Wrinkle Recode works. They say that the ingredients in its BioRecode Technology switch the youth genes back on. I have no idea about that, but I do know that the oils in the serum appear to mimic fatty acids naturally found in skin to replenish and retain moisture. The serum also contains skin tone optimizers to make skin look clearer and to impart a new glow.
StriVectin claims that Wrinkle Recode will show results in just 7 days with skin looking clearer, less wrinkled and younger. Because I am not using it twice a day, I figured it would take longer for me. I can say that my skin feels more hydrated, and the fine lines under my eye sockets are less noticeable which I think is a very good thing.
StriVectin Wrinkle Recode Line Transforming Melting Serum contains 1 fl. oz. and is priced at $89. It’s sold at Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Ulta Beauty, and the StriVectin website among other retailers. I just noticed that Ulta sells the Power Pair for Wrinkles, a sample size kit of both Wrinkle Recode and their cult classic, SD Advanced Intensive Concentrate For Wrinkles & Stretch Marks. Definitely a great way to give them both a try before committing to the full sizes.
Right now, the StriVectin website is having its 25% off Friends and Family sale with the code FF2018. It’s a good time to try this new serum or to replace your StriVectin favorites. As you know, I still love the TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream and the lighter weight gel cream version as well as several other of their innovative dual chamber serums like the Hyaluronic Dual Response Serum, so I’m getting my list ready.
I was just about to start testing this, and I am so intrigued by it! I will be curious to see if you see added benefits after using for a longer duration of time. I can’t wait to see how my skin responds to it.
I’ll be curious to see what you think.
That looks like an interesting texture!
It’s really different!
Sounds interesting, is it sticky?
It is a really interesting serum/treatment product, Yvette. If you live anywhere near Ulta or Nordstrom or Lord & Taylor, I recommend you go it and sample it. It’s a really thick gel that you warm up in your hands and press onto your skin like you would an oil. It is supposed to sink into your skin, but on me it kind of coats it. To me, it doesn’t feel sticky per se, but it does feel like I have a coating on my skin and that’s why I use it at night. It feels good on my dry skin, but it would be too much during the day. I’ve been using one pump’s worth, and I’m thinking that maybe I should be using less. If you do try a sample in a store, let me know what you think, Yvette! I think it would be worthwhile to try the Antiwrinkle Duo that’s sold at Ulta first!
I’m not quite ready for this type of serum but there is plenty I could benefit from the site sale!!!
Absolutely! 25% off is a good sale!
The serum does really look hydrating. I’m glad to hear it works well
This sounds awesome! I love NIA24!
Sale! yes please! Excited to hear if you get great results over time.
I have this but haven’t started using it yet.
Curious to hear what you think about it.
I have this serum waiting it’s turn. I’m just about ready to crack into it and I can’t wait to try it.
Eager to hear what you think about it.
I wish I had this waiting for me. It sounds like my kind of item. I’d just use it at bed too with that thickness.
I think StriVectin Wrinkle Rewind might be up your alley.
This sounds nice! As summer rounds up I need to start looking for a new heavy duty moisturizer and this may help with keeping that secured into my skin.
StriVectin Wrinkle Rewind works under moisturizer, and is great for those with dry skin and some wrinkles.
Love the idea that you can get a sample pack without committing to the price!
I think my skin would love this.
I like the product, but it does not apply to my skin type!
Not only your skin type, you’re too young for this.
I’m wondering if this would feel too heavy on my face or not. Hmmm….
This is one that I recommend sampling first because it’s unusual. Great for those with dry skin and some wrinkling
Can’t wait to hear about over time use!
I have heard great things about StriVectin products. This serum sounds interesting, however, what worries me is that in your case it didn’t sink in the skin and so I’m not sure how I would like it.
I like the gel texture of this serum. I bet it would work really well for my combination skin.
I was having a hard time describing the consistency. It’s really very similar to a melting cleansing balm – I should amend my description.
This sounds like an interesting product. I don’t think I have anything like it in my current routine.
I’m always curious if any of these deep wrinkle or neck creams actually work!
I have had results with this one from StriVectin and Exuviance Targeted Wrinkle Repair
This sounds nice and I like that it is thicker than most serums.
This sounds lovely! I’ve been looking for a new serum for fine lines and I think this may do the trick
