20 Minute Face Lift Review

The 20-Minute Face Lift comes to us from Momentum Direct, a company that began in 1995 with a focus on the wellness and anti-aging industry. At the time of this review, Momentum Direct is producing two weight loss products and one skin care item; the 20-Minute Face Lift. The 20-Minute Face Lift can be purchased from the company website and does come with a 30-day money back guarantee. You can also order a “free” trial of the product, but you will be billed in full for your order if you do not return it within 30 days after ordering.

The 20-Minute Face Lift claims to make you look 10 years younger in just 20 minutes. While some products do tout favorable results in diminishing lines and wrinkles and giving a more youthful appearance to the skin, few will state that they do so in such a short period of time. Most wrinkle fighting products advise users to wait at least a month or more to see the results they are hoping for. The 20-Minute Face Lift product is also compared to Botox on the company website. However, Botox works by relaxing the facial muscles that contribute to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The only topical ingredient that has been found to work in a similar manner is argireline. The 20-Minute Face Lift does not contain argireline.

The ingredients in the 20-Minute Face Lift are aloe Vera gel, jojoba oil, hydrolyzed elastin, soluble collagen, sodium PCA, green tea extract, panthenol (vitamin B-5), soy bean oil, avocado oil, butylene glycol, matricaria recutita extract, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and glycereth-26. The company website lists each of these ingredients along with a description, so consumers know the purpose of each element of the 30-Minute Face Lift formula.

While some of these substances contain excellent moisturizing properties that are good for the skin, the only ingredient that stuck out to us as an effective anti-aging agent is soluble collagen. Since our skin loses this substance as we age, soluble collagen can plump and smooth the skin for a more youthful appearance. Hydoryzed elastin is another substance that is found in many anti-aging products due to its ability to improve the overall look of the skin by increasing flexibility and elasticity. Unfortunately, we did not find any proven wrinkle reducing ingredients on the list, such as argireline or matrixyl 3000.

Firstly, this product contains Sodium, which has long been associated with hypertension and heart disease. In addition, it said Glycerin may lead to nausea, while the Vitamin E is said to potentially cause fatigue, weakness, headache and blurred vision and diarrhea for some people who use it. This bothers us, because we believe that people should be able to purchase these types of products without having to worry about possible discomforts that may result.

At the time of this review, we find some consumer responses that appear to support the benefits of the product. However, as we examine more closely, we find that several of them do not actually mention the product’s name. Many motion picture companies and television stations conduct the practice of taking two or three words from a review, and then put them in a context that makes it appear as if they are saying something positive about the movie or television show. We cannot verify as to whether this practice occurred, but we believe we may infer quite reasonably.

From what we have discovered, the most popular of these products contain Collagen, an ingredient that has received much media publicity and consumer praise for its known ability to remove wrinkles. We would guide our readers towards one of those, as they may be better able to enable women to meet their performance needs.
Additionally, we have found that there is a high correlation between consumer praise and media publicity. To be more specific, many of these products that have received kudos from individuals have also been mentioned in nationally distributed media publications. Women may prefer to look at one of these during their search for the “perfect” skin care product.

Positives
• Received some positive consumer reactions at time of review

Negatives
• Several reactions do not mention product’s name
• Contains Sodium
• No Collagen
• No media publicity

The 20-Minute Facelift is marketed to enable women to improve their skin tone, as well as their overall appearance. And it may be able to do just that. However, we have some issues and concerns that we feel need to be addressed.

Our most troubling concern stems from the fact that much of the consumer feedback may not be genuine. In our largely appearance-driven, appearance-obsessed society, products like this have become the standard in the world of beauty. Therefore, we would think that it would be able to garner a vast amount of praise. Since we see none as of this review, we question it. The potential side effects only diminish our confidence further.
Still, it may be able to work effectively for some people who wish to use it. However, there are several products on the market that contain Collagen, come with a large amount of consumer feedback, are supported by media hype and do not carry the potential side effects we note above. Read more here.
