Studies have shown that a resounding 75 to 90 percent of women will develop some stretch marks (called striae scientifically) during the course of their pregnancy. The severity of those stretch marks does vary. Some women are more prone to stretch marks due to genetics and the amount of elasticity of their skin.
Also, stretch marks is not just a problem that affects women alone. Men that are bodybuilding or gain a large amount of weight quickly can also develop stretch marks.
We here at StriaeCreams.com aim to help educate individuals on the causes and reasons for stretch marks as well as ways to help treat them.
We choose to focus on creams and serums designed to help reduce or prevent stretch marks since they are generally the most economically feasible solutions.
Other procedures such as laser surgery and micro dermabrasion costs well in the thousands total while the majority of stretch mark creams are under $100.
While they do not produce results as quickly, they are able to reduce the appearance of stretch marks significantly when used over time. In addition many stretch mark solutions used beforehand can actually help prevent stretch marks from occurring.
Promaxyl Review
Rating: 3.5/ 5
Promaxyl was partially designed as a lower costing alternative to Strivectin-SD. Like Strivectin-SD, it works both as a wrinkle cream and also as a stretch mark solution. It has many of the peptides that are present in Strivectin-SD. Also, the packaging of the product itself resembles Strivectin somewhat.
The formulation in Promaxyl uses three main peptides to heal and regenerate the skin. They are Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide are also used in Strivectin-SD while Acetyl Heaxpeptide-3 isn't. Promaxyl states that their product contains twice as much Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 as Strivectin.
When used to treat stretch marks, Promaxyl promises to deliver results after 4 to 6 weeks when used twice daily. The company claims that Promaxyl has been clinically proven to work at reducing stretch marks.
For wrinkles, Promaxyl states that visible results start to appear in as little as 2 to 3 weeks.
Cost
The price for a bottle of Promaxyl is $49.95 and comes with free shipping. There is a 60 day money back guarantee on Promaxyl.
Conclusion
While not quite as effective as Strivectin-SD, at $85 less you shouldn't really expect Promaxyl to be. Not a whole lot of individuals have tried Promaxyl but a few that did have some good results with it as a wrinkle cream.
For the price, Promaxyl is a fairly good product. Those that consider Strivectin-SD to be too expensive, should try Promaxyl as a wrinkle cream and stretch mark solution combination.
