After my last review on a few different kinds of phytoceramides, I still wasn't ready to give up. Just because I didn't see insane life-transforming results from these capsules (aside from the fact that my hair seemed to be shooting out of my head like Rapunzel), doesn't mean that I should toss phytoceramides for ever. I mean.. maybe I just tried some "ehhh" type of brands?
So, when a few other brands (NutriRevolution and BioGanix) offered to send me a few bottle of their own version of phytoceramides in exchange for a review, I figured "what the heck?" After all, I've been trying to grow my hair anyway.
If you're not sure of what exactly phytoceramides are and how they work, I strongly suggest that you read my last review on them. However, if you're just looking for a super quick summary, phytoceramides are said to help prevent aging by plumping the skin by producing more of these ceramide things. Simply put, it's meant to reverse and prevent the signs of aging.
But, not even that- companies claim that consuming one phytoceramide capsule each day for 90 days will help achieve a "natural facelift" in your skin, by pumping and firming. Uhh.. okay. Not judging, but let's just be real here- a "natural facelift" doesn't exist. At least, not one that's that extreme. You can drink all the water in the world and get facials every single day.. nothing is going to achieve the same results as going under the knife and literally lifting skin up on the face.
Rant over. Anyhow, here's what BioGanix has to say about their magic facelift in a bottle:
Want to DROP A DECADE FROM YOUR FACE and discover the SECRET to vanishing wrinkles and fine lines? A TV Dr famously referred to Phytoceramides as a "Facelift in a bottle" and said you can "Drop a decade from your face". BioGanix PURE PHYTOCERAMIDES is an NATURAL anti-aging dietary supplement to renew your skin from within! ***How do Phytoceramides Supplements work? - Phytoceramides (plant derived from rice ceramides) with Antioxidants and Vitamins help reduce fine lines by increasing your skin's ability to retain moisture.

NutriRevolution's description of the product is a bit more simple:

Benefits of NutriRevolution Phytoceramides:

Ingredients:
NutriRevolution phytoceramides are made with 100% Natural Plant Derived Ceramides. Each of our bottle contains 30 capsules, Phytoceramides - 350 mg per capsule plus Vitamin A 5000 IU, Vitamin C 60 mg, Vitamin D 400 IU, and Vitamin E 30 IU. We recommend that you take our Phytoceramides for at least 60 days to be able to reach your goals. This Supplement is Gluten Free.
BioGanix phytoceramides contain Ceramide PCD, derived from rice, (plant derived) which has been clinically proven to be superior to wheat based ceramides. It also contains Vitamins A, C, D and E. (Refer to label of bottle for exact amounts of ingredients.)
So, there's essentially both the same thing, aren't they? Plus, each bottle contains 30 capsules. Like every other bottle of phytoceramides that I've purchased. Seems pretty standard.
The directions for these products is the same as the phytoceramides I've taken in the past- take one capsule per day, preferably with an 8 oz glass of water. You see, some of my directions say to take with water, some don't. But I mean, it can't hurt, can it?
As for the results....
I hate to say it, but I see absolutely no difference from these phytoceramides from the ones that I have tried before. In fact, if you were to set a capsule out from each bottle, I would never be able to tell them apart. They look exactly the same and seem to act exactly the same. I see absolutely no difference in my skin at all, including texture, firmness, tone, blemishes, etc.
As for my hair, it doesn't even seem to be growing that fast anymore. Maybe it was working at first, then it stopped. Maybe it was all just psychological. ::shrug. Either way, I'm disappointed... but then again, "facelift in a bottle?"
If it's too good to be true, it usually is.
Still, you can purchase a 30 day supply of BioGanix phytoceramides here on amazon for $24.75.
On the other hand, NutriRevolution's 30 day supply is only $13.57 on amazon. Both provide free shipping with an amazon prime membership. So, uh, yeah, go for the NutriRevolution brand if you're looking to save a few bucks, or $10, for the seemingly exact same thing. Or, buy the more expensive bottle, magically notice crazy amazing results, then write to me and tell me how incredibly freaking wrong I am. Actually, I'd encourage it. Honestly, I'd love to know if others have experienced better results than I have.
