The Importence of Quality Control – Both in Anti-Aging Products and in Their Ads

What makes LifeCell so grainy? What makes it so yellow?

I have found some kind of fruit or vegetable strings on my face as part of the cream. Do they use some kind of melon or squash in Life Cell?

Similar to Serious Skin Care?

Hi Linda,

I don’t know if you saw my LifeCell Review here.

Here is the full ingredient list I have for LifeCell.

Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Ethoxydiglycol, Stearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Peg-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Diisopropyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Peg-40 Stearate, Oxido Reductases, Soy Peptides, Cyclomethicone, Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Extract, DMAE, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Copper Gluconate, Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Gluconate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Ubiquinone, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Fumed Silica, Silicon Dioxide, Propyl Gallate, BHA, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben and Fragrance.

If your ingredient list is the same, there is nothing here that should present in stringy or grainy particles. Neither should the cream be very yellow. Perhaps it is spoiled. Does the cream have an off odor? I would complain to the company and ask for my money back.

As for Serious Skin Care, I know little about the line except that it is an extensive one marketing products for almost every skin condition known to man. Home Shopping Network recently settled on charges by the FTC that it aired unsubstantiated claims for the products. HSN paid a $1.1 million civil penalty to settle the charges, and was ordered not to make ad claims it cannot substantiate.
