An Overview of Hydrolyze
Hydrolyze refers to an eye cream which is designed to target under-eye dark circles as well as eye wrinkles. It claims that it works by reversing dark circles by using two active ingredients known as Haloxyl and Matrixyl 3000. It promises a 68% reduction in wrinkles as well as dark circles in just 2 months. This cream was previously available only through a small number of cosmetic surgeons, but it is now available online.
This site offers little information besides that fact that its mysterious active ingredients are the “most advanced wrinkle reducers which are known to science.” This is a bold claim with little scientific supporting information. There are two before/after photos also, but the model’s eyes in the blue central banner look very puffy, and they are under a thin layer of concealer, where some light wrinkles and dark circles can be seen. Even if this is assumed to be an “after “ photo, the customer service agent who is featured in the banner also appears to be suffering from the same problem. There is a separate testimonials page which features extensive praise from customers, and there is also an endorsement from a cosmetic surgeon who is NJ based.
All the product information is on the homepage. Besides, the “about us” page includes a list of other trademarked products being offered by the company, which include slimming products as well as a pet anti-aging formula. This company is NY-based and having several methods of contact, including UK as well as internationally-based contact numbers. This cream is available only via their website, but it can also be ordered by mail or by phone.
Hydrolyze – Product Facts
The two major ingredients are Haloxyl and Matrixyl 3000, which appear to be enzyme derivatives. Haloxyl is able to reduce the “leaked blood” under the skin; while Matrixyl 3000 stimulates collagen production in order to reduce wrinkles as well as firm up the skin, but it has not been explained exactly how this process takes place. There is a diagram which compares “leaky” and repaired capillaries, but it is not giving any real or hard facts about the ingredients. Information on the clinical trials has stated that 72% of users have noticed a “visible reduction” in dark circles, but it does not state after how long.
There is no complete list of ingredients which has been provided. This makes it difficult for those who are suffering from allergies or vegetarians/vegans who may wish to avoid certain products. While the two active ingredients have been vaguely described as using “enzymes”, there is no information detailing what they actually are.
A single bottle of Hydrolyze costs $49.95. The larger quantities sell for discounted prices this week. The site is offering a 30-day money-back guarantee, which is minus a $7.95 fee as well as undisclosed shipping and insurance costs, but these discounted items are not included. However, upon clicking the link in order to view their guarantee, it refers to another of their products known as Hydroxatone. This gets even more confusing as their web url name is “Hydroleyes”, while the cream is being referred to through the site as “Hydrolyze”.
Hydrolyze : Positive Facts
- 68% reduction of wrinkles as well as dark circles seen within two months
- Promising testimonials provided
- Good contact information available for the company
Hydrolyze – Negative Facts
- Active ingredients are not explained; there is no comprehensive ingredient list
- Expensive product
- Confusing product name change; money-back guarantee is too vague
Hydrolyze – The Conclusion
Even though the site’s extensive list of positive testimonials looks highly favourable, there are no alternative, independent reviews to be found online. This may be due to the two name changes which the product has gone through. Enzyme-based creams are quite common in the anti-aging market, and as this site is mostly a flashy sales pitch with very little scientific information, or any explanation of the cream’s active ingredients, there is very little to recommend. An alternative would have been to try it risk-free, but the relatively high price as well as the not-quite-money-back guarantee is unappealing as well as off-putting.
