Product Description
StriVectin-SD is a cutting edge anti-wrinkle and stretch mark repair cream which can help you look younger and more beautiful by reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and other effects of aging. This revolutionary anti-aging cream utilizes the most advanced ingredients available today. The active ingredients not only help to firm, hydrate, and tighten facial skin but also help to repair the appearance of fines lines and stretch marks. To achieve these results StriVectin-SD uses a patented pentapeptide that has produced results unseen in the cosmetic industry. Together with a host of the industry's best anti-aging ingredients our blend targets major problem areas like sagging skin, skin discoloration, dryness and rough skin; not just wrinkles. And you can be sure to see these results immediately! StriVectin-SD has come to be known as the safe alternative to Botox, providing equal or better results without the risk. StriVectin-SD offers immediate results targeting the category of fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet and can remove 10-15 years from your complexion. The isolates in StriVectin-SD were shown in clinical studies to dramatically improve skin smoothness and decrease wrinkle depth as it increases collagen and elastin. It was shown to be even more effective than Retinol or Vitamin C in reducing fine facial lines and wrinkles while diminishing the signs of aging.

Alright for eyes and skin discoloration November 6, 2008
The Stinkpot
I bought this originally for stretch marks and of course it did not work. But I still had it when I got dark circles under my eyes. It really did improve the color and I still use it for discolorations. I now use it for skin discolorations because I am African American and I sometimes hyper pigment. I am sure that there is something much cheaper for what it does. I certainly wouldn't recommend it because I can use Oil of Olay or some over the counter product that would do the same thing. If it was less expensive then it would be a good buy.

Because I saw that Amazon had this as a Gold Box Deal, I had to write a review and potentially save women lots of money.
I am 40, have okay skin but have some lines around my eyes. I bought StriVectin about three years ago and used it FAITHFULLY. When it didn't work initially, I added a daily application. This stuff just doesn't work. It's absolute junk. I don't think it's a wonderful moisturizer, either, because it's is not labeled as non-comedogenic and I am prone to minor breakouts. However, I do not break out under my eyes and had no adverse reactions to the product. It just didn't work. At all.
Someone mentioned Paula Begoun's site. Use Google to look up Paula Begoun StriVectin-SD. The company that makes this product makes claims that are currently being legally challenged. Did I expect StriVectin to actually be "better than Botox" as their ad claims? No. But, if I spend $100, I do expect it to at least work a little. This product-- althought advertised heavily and marketed in a 'medical-looking' tube absolutely does not work at all. Not even a little. I can't believe anyone got any positive results using it unless they never even used moisturizer before and are startled at the difference a little cream can make.
I would completely recommend Obagi products (specifically the CLEAR, Exfoderm Forte, and BLENDER used in conjunction with Retin A. I also recommend TriLuma cream-- for similar results in one step. Don't forget a strong sunscreen when using Retin A and Hydroquinone products! I've used Obagi faithfully for 2 years and my skin is completely improved. My breakouts have disappeared, my fine lines around my eyes are pretty much not noticeable at all and sunspots that appeared two years ago after a non-protected day in the sun have completely disappeared. Obagi is expensive, too, but completely worth it because it really works. The other day in Walgreens, I said something about my 16 year old daughter who was standing right next to me and the salesperson's jaw absolutely dropped and said, "OMG, I thought you were friends. . . she can't be your daughter." Of course, I don't think I look 16, but the message was appreciated.
Doesn't reduce wrinkles and has potential side-effects. July 16, 2008

Do a search on Paula Begoun and Strivectin-SD to understand why this product won't reduce wrinkles and what the potential side-effects are.
 OK, But cheaper alternatives July 16, 2008

All these beauty treatments work ok but honestly they won't tell you that Vasoline works as well as almost all of them and better than many of them and is almost free. Just put a little on your face before bed, especially around your eyes, cheeks, forehead, lips and you will be surprised how much it erases crows feet, wrinkes, dry patches by morning. Your lips will feel smooth and soft all the time too. You'll expect to break out more, but I have been breaking out much less with almost no acne. The vasoline is all absorbed by morning, after a couple weeks it almost looks like you had a mini face lift. The effect only seems to last about a day so you need to do it every night. I don't goop it on like a prize fighter, but it looks a little shiny when I am done. And a whole jar costs $1.00. You don't even need the name brand stuff. I wouldn't do it during the day, you'll look greasy. Just each night before you go to bed. It is amazing.
I truly thank the reviewers!! June 17, 2008

Thanks everyone for all those reviews. I was set to order some Strivectin and after reading ALL the reviews I think I'll pass on it. Having you gals offer such not-so-glowing reviews sends up a warning flag most of us should listen to!!
