If you like instant gratifications that come with long-term benefits, here's something I tried that could be beneficial for you- the Tri-aktiline Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler. Although wrinkles are not my top personal beauty issue as of now, I tried the sample given to me by Good Skin Labs on areas that are starting to show lines, and I must say it yielded encouraging results.
The Claims
Good Skin Labs, the makers of the Tri-aktiline Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler describes the product as a potent deep-wrinkle formulation that instantly fills fine lines and wrinkles while helping to firm the skin over time.
Scientists from good skin labs conducted a series of studies to test its effectiveness. The findings are:
• It immediately provides a visible reduction of facial lines
• Clinically proven to help fill and relax the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles
• Visibly reduces wrinkle depth and length
Ingredients
The 3 active ingredients (hence the name) of Tri-aktiline are:
Gatuline® Expression- extracted from the South American Acmella Oleraca plant, it helps relax the look of facial tension and expression lines, like crow’s feet.
Kombuchka™ PH Extract- derived from sweet black tea, works to plump wrinkles to appear smoother on the surface.
Argireline®, or acetyl hexapeptide-3- helps prompt skin into its re-build mode, boosting natural collagen production for long-term visible wrinkle reduction.
My Observations
Honestly, when I read the information on Tri-aktiline, I was more excited to test in on my pimple scars rather than my fine lines because of the immediate filling effect of the product. Indeed, there were instant results that I noticed, as though it was some sort of photoshop for the face. Because of this, I sometimes use it as a skin primer to cover blemishes before putting on makeup. The blurring out of the deep scars is amazing. But if there are no improvements on my skin since I first used this in June, I could attribute it to the following :
- The product is made for wrinkles, not pimple scars as I have been using it for
- I haven't been applying it religiously. Recommended usage is twice daily.
- I am in denial that I am starting to grow fine lines, applying Tri-aktiline to those spots would be like acknowledging that I'm old
Ok, if were a spokesperson for Tri-aktiline, I would have been fired for my lousy excuses. Thank goodness I'm just a blogger with the liberty to say things as honestly as I could. To prove my point of the instant improvement, let me show you a macro shot before and after applying Tri-aktiline.
Note that photoshop was not used to blur or enhance the "after" pic. What you are seeing is the actual appearance of the skin around 5 minutes after the application of Tri-aktiline. Not only did it blur the lines, but had a mattifying effect on the oily skin as well. After washing the face, the appearance reverts back to its usual look.
I have yet to see the effects of the cream after long-term use. Based on the Good Skin Labs study, 83% of subjects showed improvement in the lines after 4 weeks. Maybe I should use it more often for its recommended use and follow instructions for once. I'll get back to you on this after a few months to report the results.
Do not expect full disappearance of wrinkle with the product. It will minimize the lines but will not totally eradicate it, as no cosmetic or surgical procedure could do that. To use, right after cleansing your skin, lightly tap the cream directly into wrinkles, and let it set before applying other treatment products or makeup. For best results, use twice a day
Tri-Aktiline is available in 30ml (SRP: Php 2,600) at selected Watson’s Department Stores in the Philippines.
Hi! I was supposed to comment on your entry on egg white masks but my phone,s doing no good... Anyways i started using egg white masks for 5 days now and now im having a breakout! I dont really know which one to blame coz i used calamansi a few days before i discovered the egg white mask and i stopped. I did the eggs daily before i sleep for 30 mins and then rinse them off. Once i did it overnight. I really did not see any significant changes on my pimples amd theyre still red... My pores did improved though... I have light acne and some rocesea and i really hoped that this mask might cure it but now im having second thoughts about contuinuing. I heard that eggs have bacteria and since im quite prone to pimples maybe it csused that... I dont really know which caused my breakouts the calamansi that i tried for a few days or the egg whites... I was also using st ives apricot scrib st the same time... Did i overuse it? Please help...
ReplyDeletehello,
ReplyDelete1. as i have mentioned in my post on http://www.vanityclinic.com/2009/09/18/calamansi-egg-white-skin-routine/ , the calamansi ang egg whites go together and you should NEVER leave the eggs on your face overnight! doing so with a potential bacterial culture medium would surely cause havoc to your skin.
2. you used the regimen daily when it should have been only 3x a week. natural doesn't necessarily mean safe. individuals react differently, there may be components of the calamansi or egg white that your skin may have been sensitive to. that's the risk of DIY treatments. supposedly, the 3x a week routine allowed your skin to adapt to the treatment and see if you're fine with it.
3. along with the increased frequency of usage, you applied it along the apricot scrub, which also had exfoliant properties. we don't know how it reacts with the egg and calamansi, but if your skin could talk, it would surely scream profanities at you, hence the breakouts.
4. since you already have breakouts, discontinue the calamansi or egg whites, see your dermatologist ASAP, and please follow instructions as they are directed.
thanks!
hi! thanks so much for the advice... I'll try doing it every other day now, with the scrub in between before i visit my derma again. btw, is it ok to wash your face with soap after the mask? i think if i wash it with just water the bacteria would still harbour through the night. Thanks! ^_^

Thanks! ^_^
