Solvaderm is a company that provides a large array of beauty related products and treatments. If your skin is ailing from age, sun damage, just plain gravity, Solvaderm most likely has the solution to your skin’s needs.
I was sent a skincare product from their line of anti-aging regimens called Stemuderm. The solution is geared to aid with skin issues that may arise at any age from prevention to correction needs. The bottle stated this was a concentrated formula and “professional strength”, something I always like to get on anything to help with this thing called aging that I am not very fond of :). Aging, is great when it comes to gathering knowledge but not so great when it comes to gathering creases of the wrinkling kind! Stemuderm contains peptides that help with preventing and also slowing down the process of creases and furrows from deepening. So, if you have a wrinkle, this formula is like a laundry softener and will relax the skin. In then comes collagen production that helps increase elasticity and aids with toning. Stemuderm is like a skin work-out minus the sweating (or do we call it glowing?). The product contains several moisturizing agents, which soften the skin’s surface, nourishes it and also gives you some plumping action because I am all for trying to fight what gravity brings to the party.
The Benefits of Stemuderm-
- Helps us girls that tend to frown and “make faces” even when we are not knowing it by helping relax the skin and muscles.
- Stimulates collagen production, elasticity and the Hyaluronic Acid radically improve skin’s firmness, smoothness, and fullness.
- Reduces the depth of fine lines around the eyes, forehead wrinkles, laugh lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
- You also get help when it comes to healing of the skin and this is great for spots or uneven skin, like from acne marks.
- Moisturizers reverse age-related losses in hydration and noticeably improve texture and softness.

Verdict:
Okay, the price point scared me at first but then I realized how many bottles I was dropping when it came to replacing while I tested this product out. I literally was able to drop all of them except my sunscreen. That made the regimen simplified and easier, both in application and my pocket book. The scare from the price point started to evaporate but will my wrinkle and fine lines do the same? It’s hard just dropping everything I use because I have attachment issues, like I’m attached to not having many fine lines and I’m starting to accept the one wrinkle in between my eyebrows. I don’t like the dude but I’m starting to accept he wants to stay and be part of my face, even though behind his back I’m trying to annihilate his presence (still talking about the wrinkle 🙂 ) . I cut out all my other products cold turkey and in week one I noticed nothing. No diminishing or improvement. In came week two and I noticed my skin has a glow and it’s not from the 90 degree weather and even though in California we are experiencing a drought, my face knows nothing of it. The moisturizing agents, I am liking because they do work on a deep level but do not feel heavy on the surface. My skin quickly absorbs the product and no hitting heads when it comes to cosmetic application afterwards. Stemuderm actually is improving my skin’s surface because my foundation is gliding on and I’m using less. No acne breakouts or clogged pores from the product either because I never get how skin is suppose to be improved by some products and then you get clogged pores, which result in small marks. You then use the same poor quality product to diminish the marks that clogged your pores in the first place. It’s a never ending cycle and Stemuderm does NOT play that game. So far I’m liking it! By week three I noticed my lines around my eyes are still there but flatter and not so obvious. I play a yo-yo game where those lines show up one week and for two weeks I fight them off and then I have a lazy third week, where my skin gets ignored because life got busy. Stemuderm allows my life to get busy without ignoring my skin in the process. I like this 1 bottle for my skin and 1 bottle for my sun protection and the rest is just “my crayons” (i.e. make-up). It makes life easier and the cost may sting at first but look at your drawer of regrets……you know the one that has all the bottles, jars, and even has emptied testers and squeeze packets. They add up in $$ and drawer space. With Stemuderm, that goes away and I like having zero regrets when it comes to purchases, plus fighting wrinkles in the process!
