Recently, I was asked to evaluate the Image skin care product line. They seem like good products, judging by the information that you can get at their website. But, there is some missing information.

First of all, you can't order the products on line, unless you are a spa owner or a retailer. If you are a retailer, you can't sell the products online. Apparently, you have to call to place an order or buy them in a spa, which, of course, means talking to a salesperson.

I have no problem with salespeople, but I used to be one. So, I know their tricks. They want you on the phone so that they can explain "why" their products are so expensive.

They can tell you about all of the benefits, before they give you a price. By the time that the sales pitch is over, most people will buy, without doing any comparative shopping and that's what the salesperson wants.

I can't tell how much Image skin care products cost, because I didn't make the call. I didn't see any reason to, when there are other products on the market that contain more effective ingredients and sale for a reasonable price. The bottles are larger, so I don't have to reorder as often. Plus, I can order them online, which is important to me.

Let's say you are looking for an effective anti-aging cream. Image's "bio-peptide" cream is one of the products that the company offers for that purpose. They actually have several others, but this one contains the most "active" ingredients.

It is designed at use for night, which is a good time to use an anti-aging cream, because the cellular rejuvenation processes go on while you sleep. The key ingredients in the Image skin care "crème" are aloe, olive oil, apricot oil, green tea, coenzyme Q10, hyaluronic acid, red clover extract, Shea butter, grape seed and cucumber extracts, as well as a polypeptide complex.

Those are very similar to the ingredients in the product that I use. It contains Shea butter, palm oil, avocado oil, active manuka honey, natural vitamin E, coenzyme Q10 and a patented from of keratin (a protein similar to that found in the skin) called CYNERGY TK. During the day, I use a moisturizer that contains it, too. It has been clinically proven to stimulate the production of new cells, increase firmness, improve the skin's moisture content, reduce inflammation and act as an antioxidant.

The Image skin care line claims to provide similar results, but they don't publish studies to back up those claims. There is no doubt that many of the ingredients in their products are good. My only concern is about the inclusion of red clover, which should not be used by everyone due to its estrogenic activity.

Make no mistake about it. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid is not as beneficial as kelp extracts, which prevent the reduction of the glucose/amino complex. I believe that you can find something better than the Image skin care line and probably for a much more reasonable price.
