Recently Neutrogena , Aveeno and Roc all three companies have launced this new product with same technology that targets restoration of our skins elastin. I am pretty sure all of you have noticed it but didn't see any posting about it, so I decided to raise the issue. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them.

Neutrogena has launched their Neutrogena Clinical Ion2 Complex

Aveeno has their Aveeno Active Naturals Ageless Vitality Elasticity Recharging System
( quite a long name)

And Roc has Roc Brilliance

All of them have the same technology that is promoting elastin production through electric stimulation ( quite exciting isn't it). Even Dr. B was talking about it in her blog and as she said and I quate, "the concept is based on sound science ". I find it quite intriguing .

The products are on the expensive side I would say, specially the one from Neutrogena is most expensive, 2 tubes ( two different items, serum and cream each .48 oz) for $40. Aveeno and Roc is slightly less expensive, among these two the later is with in reasonable price range ( 2 tubes 1oz each for $50).

I have read the ingredients list didn't seem like its good for sensitive skin, ( thank god I dont have sensitive skin). The later two ( Aveeno and Roc) contains more emollients and vitamin (tocopheryl acetate, though the vitamin E is listed after fragrance which means it is less than 1%) which the neutrogena product lacks. I have just ordered the aveeno vitality system from drug store they have it on sale actually and I have checked its cheapest from there after free shipping+ coupon + sale.

If anyone has tried it can you please share your experience. I have been waiting for "the night cream for a while ( I probably would have found my soul mate by now if I tried this hard ) I am hoping one of them is going to be the one" I am adding the ingredients list for all three lines.
