StriVectin-SD “Better Than Botox?” by Klein Becker Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks 177.4 ml 6 oz
Clinical results suggest that StriVectin-SD reduces both the length and depth of existing stretch marks. Studies also indicate that StriVectin-SD decreases the appearance of skin irregularity, improves skin texture and increases smoothness (including facial wrinkles); offering renewed confidence in your appearance. Strivectin has become so popular because of the perception of obtaining desirable visible results without peels, implants or injections. Studies suggest that StriVectin- (more…)

Dreading the thought of any type of invasive procedures, and constantly seeing advertisements that say “Better then Botox?” (with a quote from a Doctor)for StriVectin-SD, and even though it looked to be expensive, I decided to give this product a try. StriVectin is advertised as both an intensive concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks, and as a significant reducer of fine lines, wrinkles, crows’ feet and dark under eye circles. My purpose was for the fine lines, wrinkles,and dark circles, as stretch marks is probably the one thing my body has not been subjected too. So my review will not deal with that aspect, but I would encourage anyone who has tried it for use as a stretch mark reducer to leave a review or comment on my review so that others interested in that can have an idea of it’s effectiveness for that.
So I used this product pretty religiously as directed for the last 3 months. Applying 3 times a day to my face and throat(okay once in a while, only 2 times a day, as I didn’t always have it with me), and the first thing I noticed was it was excellent as a moisturizer. My skin still felt silky smooth and firmer in the morning. After a few weeks, I began to see what I perceived as some improvement around my eyes(dark circles and fine lines), and was really jazzed about that. For the next couple of months, I was really hoping that I would see more dramatic results as time went by(“Better then Botox?”). I saw some,and the appearance of the deeper wrinkles were also slightly minimized, but nothing as dramatic as I expected. No one said to me that I looked “10-15 years younger”..or even said anything at all. And I think if I would have had Botox, someone would have remarked on the difference.I did notice some slight improvement in one area I hadn’t expected. After I went through menopause, the skin on my throat, became very very dry and left a bit of a “mask” in that area. To me it appeared a little less noticeable.
Would I buy it again?? Yes. As a moisturizer I found it most effective.If I was just rating that aspect I would go 5 stars.I also did see some difference in problem areas. It was mild and didn’t casue any redness or other problems to my face. I would probably use this as a replacement for night creams, and using just once a day, this 6 oz. tube should last 8-9 months.It lasted nearly 3 months using mostly 3 times a day. So comparably in that sense , even though the price a first glance is staggering, that’s at least three times as long as the 1-2 oz. jars of a good moisturizer. It is though sold through a few different sellers here and ocassionally I do see it on sale. So check around for best deal(keep shipping deals in mind,some places offer free shipping with qualifying purchases). Here is another site:StriVectin-SD Wrinkle Reducer and Stretch Mark Repair Cream 6 oz. or just enter Strivectin into health and personal care search to surf their products.
So overall I’m going with 3 1/2 stars, as I just don’t think it lived up to all that it claims.Once again, those who have used this for reducing stretch marks, please leave us your thoughts via a review or a comment.

I found this product did absolutely NOTHING for me…granted I don’t have huge wrinkles, but the few I do have certainly got no better and i’m wondering if it made them worse! I wish I had asked around from friends, cause if I had I would have discovered this on my own without wasting the money. I’m wondering a couple of things, what all the fuss is about with strivectin? Is it just that everyone is different and some people have good results and some don’t? AND is there anyone out there who can recommend a product that REALLY works? (if it works i don’t mind spending the money…)
