Life Cell
Product Overview
Life Cell was produced by a physician with an Ivy League medical degree, whose only purpose was to create an all-in-one formula that could not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the facial area in general, but also one that would help target the specific problems associated with the eyes, including dark circles, crow’s feet and under-eye puffiness. This is a difficult if not impossible task to achieve, since the eye area skin is so delicate. This usually means that a exclusive formula or system is needed to particularly address the problems that occur in the eye.
One of the difficulties in reviewing Life Cell is that the company’s web site spends most of its initial time and effort on dispelling so-called myths about skin aging and arguing why most cosmetic formulas are wrong. While we do not dispute that many products contain less-than ideal ingredients, we were a bit skeptical that the Life Cell web site did not contain up-front information about the product, until you searched through pages of criticism first.
Despite of the promises, Life Cell does not seem to contain any compounds that will specifically help the eye area. Life Cell also contains Idebenone, a chemical antioxidant that is supposed to have many anti-aging effects. While antioxidants do protect the skin, Idebenone is an old chemical that is not used very often any more. No Actiflow. No Lipolight or similar components. The company speaks a lot about Nitric Oxide and the success of the scientific team that discovered this remarkable molecule and its various effects on aging.
However, then Life Cell goes on to hype the components of its formula, including Diothiolane-3-Pentanic Acid, without showing scientific proof that it contains or stimulates Nitric Oxide in the skin. What scientific evidence is given for D3PA fails to mention that the research was conducted on injections of the components.
The Good
- Company claims that it will positively affect the skin.
The Bad
- The site has wasted a lot of pages and time criticizing others.
- Some of the scientific research seems to be used rather loosely.
- Web site is too long with no information regarding the ingredients.
- There is nothing to support for its effect on dark circles, puffiness and other factors in eye aging.
Dos And Don’ts
Life Cell is another eye care product that seems to have a large presence on the Internet, thanks to an aggressive “affiliate” program, which means that this product is available not only directly through the manufacturer, but also through several third-party vendors. You can go for it but there is no evidence that it will work for you or had worked for someone else. You can also go through the site where you will only find criticism of other products.
Final Comment
Life Cell has in fact helped some consumers look younger, but it doesn’t convince that it will perform specific benefits for the eye area. Until more information becomes available, we recommend avoiding this product.
The web site for Life Cell seems to be one of the longest you can ever come across. Life Cell web site spends most of its time criticized other products as opposed to supporting why its product is so good. In addition, much of the information seems over hyped and a lot of the scientific research that is posted seems to be associated together rather loosely. The site does contain some compelling video testimonials, so the product may in fact have some merit. But it will not satisfy you completely.
