Impressions about some of Maxima Rejuvenation Skin Care Line (part 1 of 4)

Few weeks ago I get 4 product samples to try from Maxima Rejuvenation: Maxima Rejuvenation Advanced Eye Gel, Maxima Rejuvenation Wrinkle Cream, Maxima Rejuvenation Biopeptide Mask and Maxima Rejuvenation Sunscreen SPF 30.
The samples are from the Advanced Anti-Ageing Skin Care Solutions products for all skin types.

I was asked to blog about those products after I try them. I start using them the very next day. Here are the results of my test

Rejuvenation Advanced Eye Gel

First I want to talk about the Advanced Eye Gel. The company said that on the long term the gel helps to smooth fine lines, reduce puffiness and the appearance of dark circles around the eye area, and on the short term has a tightening and lifting effect, with visible results after the first application. The company claim that clinical studies found 70% improvement in eye puffiness and “bag” volume around the eyes. Other claims are that the product is light, fast-absorbing, oil-free and fragrance free. (1FL OZ (30 ml) is $45.00

I can not tell you anything about puffiness and dark circles because they are not a problem for me, but I must recognize that I saw the immediate tightening of the skin around my eyes, and few of my very fine lines were almost invisible for a while. The product is light, fast-absorbing even on top of the toner. (My skin is normal to dry). The product HAS a very light and pleasant FRAGRANCE.

The company claims and list of
KEY INGREDIENTS:
The product combines three scientifically documented patented ingredients from France Matrixyl™, Haloxyl™, and Eyeliss™.
MATRIXYL
Matrixyl is a substance that provides dual-peptide anti-aging effect on the appearance of the skin as it stimulates hyaluronic acid production for greater moisture retention, necessary for a youthful look.
HALOXYL
Haloxyl was developed by Sederma, a world leader in the field of active ingredients intended for the cosmetic industry based on the mastery of biotechnology, to treat dark eye circles. Haloxyl contains Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (collagen stimulating peptide) and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (anti-sag peptide) in addition to (non-peptide ingredients) Chrysin and Hydroxysuccinimide for skin brightening. The combination of ingredients in Haloxyl activates the elimination of blood originated pigments responsible for dark circles and inflammation around the eyes, as well as reinforces and tones eye area skin.
EYELISS
Eyeliss is a combination of three actives in solution:
• Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone -- decreases the capillary permeability
• Depeptide Valyl-Tryptophane (VW) -- increases lymphatic circulation
• Lipopeptide Pal-GQPR -- improves firmness and elasticity. Increases inflammatory phenomena

In my opinion this a safe and correct preserved cosmetic treatment, with an extremely low probability of producing allergic reactions.
