What is Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum?

I love Neutrogena products.  They’re inexpensive and seem to do what the say they will.

The Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum is also sold as part of the Neutrogena Clinical System.  This system contains tiny wee tubes of product that deliver professional spa treatment results at home–and the Anti-Aging Booster Serum is the “grey one” (a technical term) that consumers complain runs out the fastest.

Hence it’s availability as a separate item.

Neutrogena Anti-Aging Booster Serum was developed to use either in conjunction with the other products in the system OR to boost the effectiveness of your own skincare routine.  It uses a brand new technology (as all the products in the Clinical System do) called ion2complex™.

Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum promises to:

• Smooth lines
• Improve the look of collagen-depleted skin
• Make your skin look younger and healthier
• Soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduce eye puffiness and dark circles
• Minimize discoloration
• Even skin tone

How does Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum work?

Now we’ll get to the ion2complex™. It’s a bit technical.

Scientists at Neutrogena harnessed the power of bioelectricity to develop ion2complex™.   What the hecking thump is bioelectricity?  Well, I’ll tell you.  It “directs physiological activities at a cellular level”–meaning it allows cells to “talk” with one another.

After studying this cellular miracle for two years, they created tiny ion-mineral conductors within a topical formulation.  These work like “miniaturized batteries”, stimulating bioelectricity and positive ion flow to the skin which increases skin resilience, minimizes collagen loss and improves the appearance of skin.

It’s like a rejuvenating and healing massage for the skin.  In a bottle!  Who’d have thunk?

Does Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum have powerful anti-aging ingredients?

Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum contains the following ingredients:

• Cyclopentasiloxane
• Dimethicone
• Dimethicone Crosspolymer
• Trisiloxane
• Silica
• Zinc
• Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
• Tocopheryl Acetate
• Copper Powder

Out of all these ingredients, one is a recognized top-rated clinically tested skin care ingredient.  Copper Peptide has been found in study to possess firming properties, enhances the skin’s ability to protect itself and stimulates collagen formation.  It also improves skin elasticity and promotes production of skin elasticity.  It’s an excellent ingredient.

Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum pros:

• Can be used in addition to your normal skin care routine for an added “boost”
• Inexpensive alone–without the rest of the system
• Consumers felt improved texture to their skin and some experienced a reduction in wrinkles

Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum cons:

• This gel serum is GRAY–which is a bit weird
• You apparently need to use a lot of it to cover the entire face and it has a ”plastic consistency”-YUCK
• Only one top-rated clinical ingredient
• Some consumers had an allergic reaction

How much does Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum cost?

$20.99

Is Neutrogena Clinical® Anti-Aging Booster Serum worth trying?

I don’t know if I’m buying into the ion2complex™ bioelectricity technology.  Consumer response is mixed–some people like this product and feel it makes their skin “silky” and even reduces wrinkles–others found it ineffective or irritating.

If I’m basing the product on the one proven ingredient Copper Peptides, I’d have to say there’s better anti-aging serums out there with more than one top-rated ingredient.

Still Neutrogena is a trusted name in skincare.  And as I stated earlier–I normally love their products.

If I was to try this I’d probably go with the entire system versus using this along with my normal skincare routine.  I can’t see this working alone.
