DDF Wrinkle Relax Review - Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula

$88 for 0.5 oz

DDF Wrinkle Relax is a great example of a good wrinkle cream gone bad because of its steep pricetag and ineffective packaging.

Active Ingredient Analysis:

• Palmotoyl Pentapeptide 3 (Matrixyl): Reduces collagen loss.
• Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline): Reduces appearance of wrinkles by easing muscle contraction. 
• Sodium Hyaluronate: Water-binding ingredient with good hydrating properties.

So where does this wrinkle remover come up short? Let’s start with the packaging. DDF Wrinkle Relax comes packaged in a clear pump bottle. There are two things wrong with this. A clear bottle exposes the product to light which will oxidize the ingredients quickly. Second, a pump bottle is not airless. Inside the container, the product is still exposed to air and can oxidize, which will render the product inactive faster. At this pricepoint we expect to see airless bottle packaging. 

While not a bad formulation, at $88 per 0.5 oz there is a lot that could be improved upon. Bottomline, there are better products out there that have more active ingredients, better packaging, and better pricing. Keep shopping!

Verdict: Good, but Pricey
