Hello beauties! I am so excited to bring you my latest Lifecell Anti-Aging Treatment cream review which has been one of my go-to moisturizers since 2010 (yes, over ten years!), it’s simply an amazing product!
Lifecell is an ultra concentrated formula of clinical skincare, a multi-purpose anti-aging treatment that’s like having 7 products in one!
Lifecell diminishes the fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, forehead, lips, and reduces dark spots (hyper-pigmentation) to give me smoother and more youthful complexion.
It’s creamy, lightweight formula is fragrance free, hypo-allergenic, and very soothing to sensitive skin, and it fills in wrinkles much like a facial primer for an instantly smoother face.
It works so well, that my sister (a pro makeup artist), uses Lifecell on her brides and models to get them photo-fabulous ready! We’re talking FLAWLESS FINISH!

How Lifecell Works – Wrinkles Vanish
The most immediate result of Lifecell is how it fills in the lines and wrinkles on your face making them far less noticeable, instantly!
When your wrinkles are “filled up” with Lifecell (or crepey eyelid skin smoothed out with the product), it removes the shadow of the wrinkles, causing them to be much less noticeable to the eye, and creating a smooth base for makeup application.
Applying Lifecell to the face, neck and chest works quickly to smooth out wrinkles and also reduce any dark spots you might have in that area, and it also works great to firm and lift the neck!
Its ingredients work at a deeper level to increase collagen and elastin production to create a more supple and youthful complexion with lasting results.

How Lifecell Helps My Eyes
Lifecell is also an Eye Treatment and it’s gentle enough that I can use it on my entire eye area, lids and all.
I use it underneath my eyes and it fills in those annoying fine lines and wrinkles, reduces puffiness, and diminishes those dreaded dark circles.
My eyes happen to be very sensitive (I have an inflammatory eye condition), and sometimes even products specifically suited for the eye area cause my eyelids to sting or get puffy – not a good look when you’re trying to look younger!
Lifecell does not cause any stinging or burning, is very gentle on the eyes and works great as an eye shadow primer.
It works fast to perk up the whole eye area and smooth out the wrinkles so you can apply your concealer and eyeshadow (which is what I personally like to use after).
Lifecell Reduces Hyper-Pigmentation – Kiss Brown Spots Goodbye
Lifecell drastically reduced the hyper-pigmentation along my jaw line to the point of almost disappearing.
Being raised in Florida, and at the beach just about every weekend playing volleyball, I’m no stranger to the sun. Unfortunately, UV damage is the main culprit for aging, dark spots and freckles, which is what happened to me.
Over the years, the hyper-pigmentation along my jaw line and neck became darker each year and it was a huge source of insecurity when it came to my face, and nothing will make those pesky dark spots pop more quickly than a day out in the sun.
I’ve tried glycolic peels, retinoids, alpha-hydroxy, hydroquinone and many other products promising results but nothing seemed to work, and those ingredients were highly irritating to my skin.
Lifecell Anti-Aging Treatment reduced my dark spots within a few weeks, and after a full three months, I could barely see them anymore. Sorry about the lighting in these photos – but you can see that the dark spots have been diminished in the photo on the right.
You must wear SPF to maintain your results which is true for any skin lightening treatment and you should anyway to block those damaging rays!
I always wear a minimum of SPF 30 on a daily basis over Lifecell, and SPF 50 or higher when I am in the sun, and I encourage you to do the same.
Other factors including hormones, medications, and acne scarring can also cause hyper-pigmentation, post inflammatory pigmentation or melasma.
However, it doesn’t matter what the cause of the brown spots are, the treatment is the same – to halt melanin production in its tracks.

The Science Behind Lifecell
Blood Flow = Youthful Looking Skin
So here’s my geek moment about the Nobel Prize-winning science behind how Lifecell works on a cellular level to boost collagen and elastin production.
Nitric Oxide dilates your capillaries to increase blood flow circulation giving your skin an instant youthful “boost,” but you can’t put nitric oxide directly onto your skin because it’s a gas, so it needs a messenger.
That messenger must be topically administered to your skin through Dithiolane-3-Pentanoic Acid (D3PA) – a naturally occurring compound produced in your body which decreases with age.
Lifecell has a high concentration of D3PA which produces an environment for which the nitric oxide can do it’s magic.
This little miracle, i.e. nitric oxide, was discovered in 1998 by three Nobel Prize winning scientists and is exactly one of the reasons why Lifecell is uniquely formulated. Hooray for bloodflow!
Lifecell also contains DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), also known as “the facelift in a jar.” This powerful substance is known to prevent aging, liver spots and firms loose and sagging skin.
DMAE is one of the most potent ingredients in Lifecell which creates that immediate tightening effect on your face to lift and firm sagging skin.
Lifecell also contains moisturizing and soothing agents from natural sources such as oat kernel extract, shea butter, and hyaluronic acid which plump the skin full of moisture without feeling greasy.
I have dry skin but I don’t like heavy moisturizers that don’t fully absorb and feel like they’re sitting on top of my skin like a film. Lifecell has a lightweight, creamy texture that feels wonderful.

Conclusion & Recommendation
To recap my Lifecell review, I want to mention that I’ve used high end products for over 15 years. I have never skimped on good skin care!
Lifecell Anti-Aging Treatment has proven itself to be one of my all time favorites based on my results and how gentle it is on my skin.
It makes me look and feel younger by instantly smoothing my face of wrinkles – I love the wrinkle filling effect!
Even with no makeup, my skin looks flawless, which I love for before bedtime when my husband sees me with no makeup on! He always tell me how young I look. I just turned 50 but most people guess my age to be in my 30’s!
Lifecell’s 120 Day Money Back Guarantee & Risk Free Trial
You can try Lifecell for FREE for 30 days before billing (all you pay is shipping & handling) and it has a 120 day money back guarantee.
The best place to order Lifecell is directly from the manufacturer’s official website to ensure the freshness, and the money back guarantee. They ship worldwide!
I get a new Lifecell every 60 days on their replenishment program, this way I’m never without. But they do have other options (like every 90 days), so you can always make changes to your delivery if you wish.
Purchases made on Amazon or E-bay etc. will not come with the 120 day money back guarantee (and may not even be the real thing), so I always recommend buying skin care from the source for this reason, and also to ensure its freshness.
I get emails daily from women asking me what my BEST recommendation is for wrinkles, and Lifecell is my #1 choice! I I hope you enjoyed my Lifecell review!

Q: Please tell me how much this costs? –barbara
A: Barbara, Lifecell is a membership, so the first shipment of a 2.54 oz bottle is $189 (this isn’t billed until the 30 day trial is up and you can cancel at anytime before that and not be charged), then every 60 days they will ship you a new supply but the price drops to $149 and you’ll be a VIP Member. Starting with that second shipment and the reduced price, they will include four other items free with your shipment. VIP perks. You’ll receive the pH balanced face wash, BB spf 20 Tinted Moisturizer, the Cooling Under Eye Cream, and another product (either the Neck Firming Cream or the Firming Body Butter). All great products, and that’s exactly how it works (no surprises) 🙂 Rachel ~WomensBlogTalk.com

Q: How do you think Lifecell works on deep wrinkles are the eyes?
I read your review about skin cream marketing in general and that most free trial/celebrity endorsed creams are fraudulent…but Lifecell seems to have the same marketing strategy and are offering a “free trial”. It has the same appearance as tru belleza and all the others. Is it different somehow?
Thanks so much, Deborah –Deborah
I want to explain in detail why the Lifecell trial shouldn’t be compared to these short term wrinkle cream scams because I do get asked this question a lot. Lifecell is offered as a 30 day trial, and I could count on one hand the creams that actually offer a legitimate, 30 day trial – there are very few of them. However there are HUNDREDS of these 12 day wrinkle cream scams (such as Tru Belleza – just read their terms and conditions).
I’ve been recommending Lifecell for almost 5 years, long before all these short-term free trial scams started popping up everywhere on the internet using Dr. Oz and other celebrities for their misleading advertising. South Beach Skincare is a reputable manufacturer that has been around for almost a decade. They have quality skin care and their product is amazing!
You have 30 days (not 12 days) to try Lifecell. If you are unhappy at any time during that 30 days, you can call Lifecell 24 hours a day, and be answered by a friendly customer service rep right here in the U.S.A. Lifecell also comes with a 120 day money back guarantee (that’s four months to try it risk free for a full refund if you’re not happy).
If you decide you love the cream, you’ll be sent the product every two months and the price drops to $149, plus you’ll be sent a ton of free skin care with every VIP shipment (face wash, BB cream, cooling eye treatment, neck firming cream and/or body butter).
I’ve been a Lifecell VIP member for years now and I absolutely love their products and getting my package every two months. I feel that a 30 day trial (with a reputable company) gives you plenty of time to try the product to see if you actually like it. And when you need customer service, they are available. Not like these scam companies that give bad phone numbers, have no refund policy, have poor quality ingredients (who knows what’s even in them because they don’t publish their ingredients), and keep changing the name of their products and flipping the links because ultimately they are just scam artists.
I never used to get questions like this before these scams tarnished the image of a true trial. Anyhow, I hope this clears things up. I wouldn’t be recommending a product that didn’t live up to its promise with great customer service standards. My blog would not survive! 🙂 Rachel~WomensBlogTalk.com

Q: Hi Rachel, I had a question about Lifecell. I am interested in receiving Lifecell’s other skin care through VIP membership. I want to try their face wash and cooling eye treatment and the spf cream would be good for those days where I’m outside. I have sensitive, dry skin and I’m almost 50 so I’m fighting wrinkles and would like to reduce them. How will those other products do with my skin type? Thanks so much, I’m looking forward to trying these products. I don’t mind receiving a shipment every 60 days, especially if they’re sending other good products. It’ll keep me from having to run out to the mall to buy skin care. I don’t have time…. –Linda B
A: Hi Linda, the South Beach Skincare line (Lifecell brand) is amazing. I really love it all and it works very well when used together. The pH Balanced Facial Cleanser has calming cucumber and green tea and other anti-oxidant and anti-aging ingredients. It’s fragrance free and leaves the skin feeling supple and soft and not stripped. It’s perfect to use with a clarisonic a couple times a week as well for a deeper cleanse. It’s very gentle I even use it on my eyes. The Cooling Under Eye Cream has a special metal tip that feels cold to the touch, so it’s great for puffy eyes and reduces dark circles and wrinkles. The BB Cream is spf 20 and it has a nice consistency. If you have dry skin you will love it. It also contains anti-aging ingredients so if you want, you can just throw that on for the day and not even need to wear foundation over it if you’re in a no-fuss mood. All of their products are made with sensitive skin in mind, fragrance free and have no irritating botanicals or scents. I also have sensitive, dry skin and my skin loves these products. There is absolutely nothing irritating about them…you’ll feel pampered. Rachel-WomensBlogTalk.com

Q: Do you receive any compensation or kickbacks for recommending lifecell products? –Stacy
A: Stacy, a small compensation, yes. But I also am enrolled in their VIP program so every two months I’m billed $149 to keep receiving Lifecell and their other skin care so it’s probably a wash. You’d think they’d give it to me free, but they do not. Any extra funds I mainly use to buy more skin care i.e. at Sephora, Ulta, etc. so I can review those products and that can get pricey. I’m just being honest. I could link to practically any product and get a commission, but it doesn’t change my recommendations. There are many products that pay that are horrific that I absolutely won’t recommend…. For example, have you ever heard of Juenesse? It’s one of those MLM companies that pays big commissions to sell their products, but I don’t like their products at all! This is more of a hobby for me, definitely not a huge money maker 🙂
