My MIL just asked us this for her bday. She is not the type to be heavily into skin care and she would never spend this type of money on a product for herself. We are certain she saw an informercial or an article etc and bought into the potential hype- or is this stuff worth it? We dont want to spend 200$ for something not worth it as you can understand. I googled a little for it and i am not finding any concrete reviews, everything is either A+ or F-

Thanks for your help

Hi Malishka; have you had a chance to look at this thread yet?

http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?p=464060&highlight=amatokin#464060

You can also look at the link below for more information on the product you are interested in. I see that SkinStore had a special on it recently ($79.99 vs $190) but it is now out of stock.

I wouldn't bother myself. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that this is anything but wishful thinking. There is, however, lots of peer reviewed science on other anti-aging products that are much cheaper.

So it depends on whether you feel that paying premium prices for completely unproven products makes more sense than paying a lot less for things that have track records of working. Or to put it differently, would your MIL be happier with the product she is craving or one more likely to work?

I received some of this as a gift; I never would have purchased it myself. It did absolutely nothing. Your mother-in-law would be better off with something that actually has actives in it, IMO. ~ JJ

The pump was broken after week or 2 of use. Really a waist. Didn't see any result at all.
