StiVectin–SD is a topical cream, for wrinkle reduction, which was once in the spotlight and heralded as providing some of the most dramatic and noticeable results of any product in history.  When it first came out it was literally flying off the shelves and nearly impossible to keep in stock.  StriVectin took a backseat when Botox hit the wrinkle reduction market by storm.  Botox, an injectable, provides instant results while Stivectin-SD, a topical treatment requires a bit of patience to see the results.  StiVectin is fighting back and now is advertised with the tagline: “Better than Botox”.

With that being said, StiVectin-SD, remains a formidable force in the anti-aging arsenal available to those who wish to ward off and reduce wrinkles.  Originally developed to reduce the visibility of stretch marks following pregnancy, it was discovered to dramatically improve the appearance of: indented surfaces, smooth surfaces, skin firmness and irregularities in skin discoloration.

StriVectin-SD includes a proprietary combination of skin firming agents, elasticizers, and skin hydrators, adding up to one of the most effective and most powerful topical formulation for stretch mark reduction and wrinkle reduction currently available.  Clinical studies have proven it’s ability to reduce crows feet and other superficial wrinkles in 93% of those tested.

And despite the success and rise of Botox use, StiVectin-SD remains a steady big seller in the topical anti-agining market.   Priced at about $140 for a 6 oz. tube, it was once thought to be on the high end in the price range of products.  The eye cream is $59 for a 1.5 ounce tube, which actually makes it quite comparable and even priced slightly lower than popular “designer eye creams” on the market.

Instructions for Use: When used as a wrinkle remover, one tube will last approximately 6 months.
