Anti-Aging Products Top Skin Care Sellers in 2009

Anti-aging is often the name of the game when it comes to the spa, and anti-aging treatments and retail hinge on quality products. According to this new study by Mintel, anti-aging skin care products are beginning to become the most purchased skin care items.

Americans are pouring more money into the fountain of youth known as anti-aging skin care. According to a new report from market research firm Mintel, sales of anti-aging skin care products rose to more than $1.6 billion in 2008. For the first time, anti-aging sales surpassed sales of facial cleansers, which garnered nearly $570 million in 2008.

The market for anti-aging skin care has grown rapidly during the past couple of years, per Mintel. U.S. sales rose 13% from 2006 to 2008, outpacing general facial skin care sales, which grew less than 11%. Mintel expects the market to remain robust throughout the next five years, growing approximately 20% through 2013.

“Anti-aging won’t fall to the recession,” comments Kat Fay, senior beauty and personal care product analyst at Mintel. “Looking young is extremely important to many women, especially baby boomers, and it’s not an issue they’re willing to compromise on because of tightened budgets. Many women see anti-aging skin care as a reasonably priced investment in their appearance and well-being.”

Active Ingredients
PhytoCellTech® - a novel plant cell culture technology has been invented to cultivate dedifferentiated callus cells from a rare Swiss apple. These apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites, assuring the longevity of skin cells.
Collagen® - It is one of the most important scleroproteins of the connective tissue occurring as fibers. Collagen is the main structure element of the skin and is therefore largely responsible for its characteristic properties. It provides excellent smoothing and hydrating qualities with superb skin feel.
Matrixyl 3000® - Increases cell turnover, firmness, elasticity and smoothness and brings about fine line reduction.
