StriVectin SD is the first product that I bought from this company, and inspired me to check into the other available StriVectin products, as well as start up this StriVectin sd review website to help inform others, when my little 6oz of beloved magic cream (one of many) was used up!
I first heard about this in some magazines and discussed on some talk shows, and thought that it seemed to have some pretty solid credentials and some good and trustworthy people backing it up in the public media. I remained skeptical at this point however and it wasn’t until one day when I was intrigued and amazed to see an old friend whom had some serious improvements in her skin tone and appearance (I assumed she had gotten some plastic surgery in fact), I mentioned how radiant and youthful she looked, and she went off about how she had been using both the strivectin-sd and eye cream products for a while and how they were a match made in heaven for her. This was a turning point for me and gave me just enough of a push to turn my usually negative product feelings into a purchase online.
I tried to keep my expectations low, as to not be disappointed with the results if it wasn’t quite as magical as it seems, but I found myself in huge anticipation and excitement as I thought about my friends appearance change using this stuff. After about a week (the first company I bought from was horrible, I recommend a trusted online retailer for beauty products like skinstore.com to get a good price discount as well as proper delivery and customer service) I received my first tube of this stuff, and anxiously put it on and kept nagging my boyfriend if he could tell a difference.
In about a week I was overtly excited with the changes, wrinkles fading and smoothing over, my complexion and tone looking more bright, even, and lively, this stuff was addictive and I continued application religiously until it ran dry (cutting it open to get the last bit out!) The first tube made dramatic visual improvement, and I continue to love the effects and results to this day. Although its not a magic ‘take 25 years off your appearance’ type of deal some aggressive online stores are stating, one thing I can certainly attest to is that stuff really works… more quickly, more dramatically, and most importantly with a deeper and longer lasting healing effect then the other (some god darned expensive ones too
) anti-aging and skin care products that I have tried. I have since tried the strivectin HS product for wrinkles near my eyes, but believe the original formulation to be a superior product
I hope other product users will contribute and leave their own personalized feedback, thoughts, and exciting or negative results with the rest of us below. I am just one example of a satisfied customer, but the intention of starting this review site was to possibly cover many different skin types, conditions, and peoples feelings so people looking into buying this or another similar product can make more informed and personalized purchasing decisions!

I really love this and the eye cream treatments, I continue to use it since first grabbing it out of a skin specialists office nearly 15 months or so ago.
It has really proactive healing action, and helped to mask and recover some skin problems I had been living with for quite a while.
I paid a lot for it back then, and have since realized it’s much cheaper to buy online, so if anyone here is thinking about buying, shop online and stay away from buying from the expensive dermatologist offices!

This was quite expensive for a non procedural treatment, but is the first thing I have tried besides botox that really has helped me.
It is quite good at what it says it will do , although maybe not a botox alternative like I’ve seen advertised, but definitely more cost-worthy after continued usage

I had problems with this burning my eyes about half of the time I applied it.
Maybe I just have sensitive eyes, but it sucks because I spent the money so excited on the recommendation of a co-worker who used this for related eye troubles, but I couldn’t continue to use it because whenever I tried to apply to the problematic zone around my eyes it would burn and irritate

Absolutely amazing! I was in a dirt biking accident, and got some pretty severe road rash and visible bruising / scarring all around my face and neck, and my doctor recommended this stuff.
It helped heal so well, with no visible long term scarring from what I for sure thought would be a bad problem for the rest of my life.
Strivectin-SD for sure aided with my self confidence and worked so well to help heal my cuts and bruising much faster and more thoroughly, highly recommend this to anyone and everyone after seeing what it can do!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a 40yo mother of two that started to notice a bunch of premature wrinkles around my eyes and lips ~ stress played a huge part in this I’m sure
I shopped around the internet for information on the best products out there for improving the appearance of these regions, and strivection SD was among the most reoccurring suggestions with what seemed the best ratio of positive to negative feelings.
I picked it up, and although i can’t really say that I have honestly tried a bunch of these type of products, I really am a huge fan of this stuff now, buying it for my mother and aunt this Christmas due to just some amazing results and improvements all around. ~ Susan
P.S: what a great way and site to help gather information for other people!

I am 53 and have tried soooo many face products that promised near miracles when it came to reducing wrinkles and promoting softer, healther skin that I really researched this product before I bought it. I’ve only been using it for 1 week so don’t know the long term results but have already noticed a marked improvement in skin tone and wrinkles around eyes and mouth. And when you figure the monthly cost at around $16.00 (I got mine at skinstore.com for $99.00)It really is cost effective. I try not to get it any closer than the orbital eye area (bone) under my eyes because it tends be irritating (the aromatic oils).

I’m a 39 year old mother of two young boys and a new business owner to boot. I’ve noticed a bugeoning grey hair count and deluge of wrinkles in the last couple of months. One of the world’s great scpetics when it comes to beauty products, it was StriVectin’s ad campaign that won me over. So I bought my first tube this week – at an exhoribtant price (I live in SA and the mark-up is astronimical – about $225). I’ve only been using it a few days and do hope to see an improvement shortly (although the shop assitant said that it’s only after 3 months that I could really expect to see a difference). So I cant really comment on it as yet. However, one thing that does concern me is that, even though I dont apply it within the orbital area, my eyes are constantly irritated when I have the cream on my face. I mention this because the previous reviewer also identified something similar.

I am a 44 year old mother of 4 grown up children. I recently bought this product after I met someone from the US, in London while on business. I mentioned to her about lines appearing on my skin, and she said to try this product. She said her mum bought it and had been using it for about 2 months, and she noticed the difference in her mum’s complextion. I read a lot about it online, and decided to order. I got my tube reasonably cheap £32 on e-bay (and yes it is in the original packing). I have just been using it for a week, and have noticed a difference already in the texture of my skin. I am hoping that it will get rid of the lines that I have between my eyebrows (deep furrows), with frowning!! and the crows feet that I have just recently noticed, and also 2 lines that I have on either side of my face! I will continue to use this product religiously every morning and night. I will give you an update in about 2 months!! Defo recommend this product

Although it has been over a year since I’ve used the original form of Strivectin, and I just used it on the wrinkled areas of my face, I noticed a distinct difference on those areas. I am now convinced, after having just read your reviews to re-purchase the product to use all over. I particularly noticed a dramatic decrease in the usually prominent wrinkle between my eyes, which has returned, unfortunately.
Has anyone used it for slight rosacea, with good results? I have highly sensitive skin, and would love to finally find something that will help!
