Function

• The dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) is where deep wrinkles begin to form. The DEJ "controls the structural integrity of your skin," according to the StriVectin website. StriVectin-HS Deep Wrinkle Serum works to strengthen the integrity of the DEJ, which in turn helps to fight the look of deep wrinkles and other skin imperfections, such as enlarged pores.
  
  

Promises

• StriVectin-HS Deep Wrinkle Serum promises to decompress the look of deep wrinkles from deep within the skin. This product also promises to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles as well as enlarged pores.
  
  

Benefits

• The benefits of this product are that it helps to decompress the look of deep wrinkles almost instantaneously. This product also works on wrinkles anywhere on the body, not just facial wrinkles. After initially applying the product twice daily, you can then apply StriVectin-HS just three times per week.
  
  

Drawbacks

• Price is a big drawback for this product. In 2009, the 0.9-oz. bottle costs $153 and has about 28 facial applications. Also, this product is somewhat time consuming to use. The instructions say to apply the product on the most pronounced wrinkles with clean fingers and then spread it around the rest of your face. After the product has become slightly tacky (1 to 3 minutes), soak a clean facecloth in hot water and hold it on your face for about 30 seconds. Then, pat dry and resume your normal facial routine. As you can see, StriVectin-HS has several steps to the application process.
