Strivectin - tanTALK

angeleyes · 07-09-2004, 11:13 AM

Not sure about the spelling...got it at a dept. store, origionally made for fading stretch marks, but many are calling it the "new botox"...anyone here try it yet? Your thoughts?

I have tried it and it did not show any improvement at all. In Ohio it cost 135.00 a bottle and what I did was went half with a customer on it. Neither one of us was impressed.

A $ 135.00 for a bottle ????? They saw you comming!

There is a new lotion line coming out that uses strivectin. $135 a bottle is the going price for 6-8oz bottles of it. But if you really want to firm your skin and take away fine lines without injections, this is the only way to go. I have seen ads for it in the last four airports I have been through.

$135? Seems the active ingredient in this product is palmitoyl pentapeptide, aka matrixyl. This ingredient can be found in a few tanning lotions that are definately not $135. Is the concentration as high? Who knows. Tanning lotion works good though.

Yeah, I currently work for a department store in Texas and we sell strivectin for $135 as well. When the product first came out, they couldn't keep it on their shelves, but over the past 2 months or so, it seems like every bottle is coming back!

I just saw in our Newspaper on Sunday and new lotion that has the same ingredients in it as Stri Vectin for only 28.00 a bottle. Now that seems a little more reasonable.

I carry a product in my salon called Pentaxyl, my clients (and employees) have had tremendous results with it and says it works better than its competitors and for half the price. Here is a link to it. http://mall.marketamerica.com/amos/cc/pcd/9551729/ccsyn/239/stid/X78417 I carry several skin care / weight loss / anti-aging products in my salon and have been very successful at it. Are other salons carrying these types of products and if so, how has it done for them. I am also looking for other items to carry in the salon that compliment the tanning industry. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I currently use the product Tdombroe mentioned, Pnetaxyl. I have had amazing results with it reducing the color and size of my stretch marks. I recently got back pictures from before I started using Pentaxyl and even impressed myself with the change. I had a friend tell me that she could tell a huge difference and was very impressed. I love PENTAXYL.
