Persona® Caffeine Lotion Review Summary |
|
Persona® Caffeine Lotion is marketed and manufactured by Persona® located in Denver, Colorado. The site claims that it will “make you look younger and healthier within two weeks of the first use.” If the customer is not satisfied, it has a money back guarantee.
The other categories in the Persona® line are Anti-Acne Skin Care, Face and Body Masks, Body Lotion, Sunglasses and Eye Wear, and Nutritional Supplements.
Although we do not believe having Caffeine as the central ingredient in an anti-aging product to be the most effective, we will review the product below to examine its possible efficacy in skin care.

| Ingredients in Focus |
|
*MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane - is a sulphur that is found naturally in the body, which helps to repair damaged skin and is said to encourage production of Elastin and Collagen in the skin.
*Caffeine – grounds in coffee beans, that contain caffeine, are said to reduce the appearance of blemishes and acne and some scientific studies claim that it may reduce the risk of skin cancer.
Even so, we do not believe either of these ingredients, or the others, actually help in reducing the depth and density of wrinkles. A few years ago, the only way to do this was to receive Botox® injections. But, in the past few years we have seen an increased use of a safe and non-invasive ingredient called Argireline® that actually relaxes the facial muscles by inhibiting the neurotransmitters from firing. The inhibition of these neurotransmitters results in less contractions of the facial muscles, which, in turn lessens the depth and density of the wrinkle when the muscles flatten due to their relaxed state.

One thing we do think is positive about this product is that the company’s attention is divided among too many different product lines. We believe seeking a company that only deals in anti-aging formulas—or better yet, one formula—will more likely result in a most optimum product that has been thoroughly researched for its safety and efficacy for the skin.
The site has a point system to encourage customers to refer friends to their products. When you refer a friend, the customer is said to receive 10 Persona® points. You also earn points every time you purchase their products.

| Final Thoughts |
|
We simply do not believe that Methylsulfonylmethane and Caffeine, along with the other ingredients here, are the best combinations to actually reduce the depth and density of wrinkles or have the capacity to get rid of fine lines. We are aware of products on the market that include Argireline®, along with other naturally-occurring substances in the skin, that actually reverse the signs of aging.
Seek products with Argireline® that offer free samples for evaluation.
