Buyer Beware!!!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strivectin - SD Intensive Concentrate For Stretch Marks & Wrinkles --/5OZ (Misc.)
I have been using StriVectin-SD(TM) Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks and Wrinkles for a year now and it is a great product. But, I ordered this product from the Amazon Sellers (ALL ABOUT YOU) for 40.99 and (Sophia's Beauty LLC)for 55.72 last month (Nov. 2011) and both purchases appear to be counterfeit StriVectin-SD products. BUYERS BEWARE, the possible fake StriVectin-SD has a product number at the top of the tube 2570A1. The tube is sealed differently on both purchases(compared to my genuine StriVectin SD) and most of all, the product is drastically different. Like the other reviews stated, it pulls your skin when applying the cream and is very drying to your skin. I believe my skin is worse now after using these unknown to me (possibly fake versions) of StriVectin-SD products for the last month. I did try to communicate my concerns with both sellers and I was told that "the product had changed and I just needed to get used to it", NOT TRUE!. The Authentic StriVectin-SD...Read more

Was and Is a Huge Help!,
April 28, 2011 H. Davis (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
I started using Strivection 2 years ago when I made the decision to lose weight naturally from my 250 lb body after having children. Once I eased into weight loss, I started applying this religiously at least twice daily (of the old formula) on my stomach, thighs, breasts and underarms. I credit the overall tone of my skin now at 135 lbs. solely to Strivectin. It definitely likes to be applied in layers upon itself, I see a much bigger benefit when you follow the directions and use multiple times every day. Now with this new formulation, it only got better! The old formula I would never put on my face with that strong minty odor, but this new one in a white cream is AWESOME!! I'm 32 and fair-skinned, in addition to my residual stretch mark areas, I began putting it on my face morning and night 2 months ago when I went to re-order and saw the new formula, and in 3 weeks I noticed that my face was a paler even-tone, like it was erasing years of normal sun exposure. My freckles were...Read more

Strivectin is Not Fake But In Fact The Newest of the New Formula,
January 17, 2012 This review is from: Strivectin - SD Intensive Concentrate For Stretch Marks & Wrinkles --/5OZ (Misc.)
I just contacted Strivectin and here is what I found out for those calling this version of strivectin fake. There have been at least three strivectin formulas...one was the 5% formula made by Klein Becker (the original) that was beige in color and very minty in smell. Klein Becker sold the product to Strivectin Operating Co which came out with TWO new 8% versions. The first version was skin color or if you want to call it light beige in color, creamier lighter texture, some may call it more moisturizing ..to me I would say greasier. This was Strivectin Co's attempt to try and make the new version as close as they could to the original. In the end they found it to be easier to go with this newest (3rd version..2nd new formula) which is white in color, thicker in texture, some may think less moisturizing ..I think less greasy and absorbs better. Both of the newer version's scents I think are similar like peppermint. Some may think one might be stronger than the other. These descriptions...Read more
