IS THIS JUST A NICE, CREAMY MOISTURIZER THAT FEELS GOOD OR MAGIC IN A JAR?There are 18 exceptional ingredients in BANANA DIVATOX 2 Deep Wrinkle Treatment, and that REALLY GOT MY ATTENTION! It’s unusual to have so much “good stuff” in one facial cream, and even more unusual to have 4 impressive ingredients in the Top 5 (The 1st one is water). Since the entire ingredient list is virtually droolworthy, this is one time that order of ingredients doesn’t matter because they’re all essentially good. Don’t freak about phenoxyethanol (a safe anti-bacterial in low concentration) at the end or silicone gel (used for healing scars) near the bottom of the list.Down to basics. There are some ingredients that many/some of you may not have heard of in skincare, so I’ll break down a few of the more exotic ones.MACA POWDER (#4 ingredient) is from the Peruvian Andes. It promotes energy and endurance. In skincare, it’s also effective because it contains substantial Vitamin C, which increases collagen and fights free radicals that damage skin and cause inflammation. There’s also Vitamin D and E, which also help with collagen.SACHA INCHI (#5 ingredient) botanical extract protects against the damage from sun exposure, regulates oil production, maintains elasticity, soothes and prevents inflammation, promotes softness, smoothness, and suppleness, hydrates skin without clogging pores, and is recommended for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Vitamin E in the extract also protects against free radicals as an anti-ager. So, you can see the multiple benefits of this extract.BANANA POWDER (#3 ingredient) is new to me because I have fair skin, and is used cosmetically to color correct and give skin a warm highlight, reduce shine, absorb excess oil, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It’s good for yellow/golden tone skin, but I’m not sure about its reaction or transference on pale skin. In this formula, it doesn’t matter because it’s just one of many other good skin ingredients, not by itself.GRIFFONIA is midway down the ingredient list in lesser concentration. It’s a natural plant extract that provides antioxidant protection, and helps with skin tightening and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.BLACK ALGAE EXTRACT is just below that in lesser concentration and contains potent vitamins and minerals that hydrate dry skin and reinforce a healthy, balanced, moisture-rich complexion. Basically, it’s seaweed which helps firm skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for an overall youthful complexion.CHERRY BLOSSOM EXTRACT is an anti-inflammatory, skin lightener/brightener, and that function always tops my skincare list.There are plenty of other good performers like royal jelly, marine collagen, Jamaican black castor oil, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, liposomes, matryxl 3000, and pumpkin enzyme. All good, and I can’t fault any of them. In other words, this cream seems packed with excellent ingredients. It comes in one of those “illusion” jars where just the center is full of product, but a little goes a long way. It feels greasy but slick, and looks very shiny and greasy if too much is used. With the right amount, it spreads and absorbs well, finishes a bit sticky, but ends up with a nice, soft finish. The scent is on the sweet foody side – neither pleasant, nor unpleasant – but not the advertised banana smell. Maybe chemical banana. Scent is subjective, so it may smell different to you.I can’t really project how well the cream will work. My jar came cellophane sealed, but the inner and outer lid, the lip of the jar, and the inside rim of the jar were all heavily caked with dried-out product. REALLY dried out, old looking product. It was gross and I can’t account for the reason. The rest of the jar was normal cream, but only half full. I’m torn whether this was a return, or just dried-out and old. Either way, I can’t risk bacterial infection of a possibly tainted product by using it on my face. I tested it on my hand for the impressions I’m giving you. I like the ingredients and the finish, but even with all those ingredients my skin didn’t look transformed in any way. Just soft, not changed. It may be a case of cumulative effect, but my untreated hand looked the same as the treated hand. I thought it odd that the company hyped ingredients low on the list, instead of ones at the top. I give it high marks for a packed list of good ingredients, but have reservations about actual effects which will take time. I don't even have deep wrinkles, just some light ones and there's no visible difference. Feels great though.

This Deep Wrinkle Cream feels very soothing to my skin. I don't really have any "deep wrinkles" like an 80 year old might would have, I'm only 63 and look young for my age. But, I've always used quality skin care products and protected my skin from sun damage as much as I could. Plus eating well and drinking enough fluids always helps. All that said, I think this is a very good moisturizer and not overly pricey like some others that I've reviewed. I'm not real fond of the scent as it just smells kind of weird to me making it a little difficult to use on my face, where it was intended in the first place but it really does hydrate well.

I don't know what they mean by deep wrinkles but it made my skin look and feel better so that is a plus.

Made using natural ingredients that are known to help plump and smooth skin. Overtime wrinkles will become less noticeable. You will see a difference after just one application. May be used as a night cream or as an under eye cream or anywhere you have deep wrinkles. The cream works best if you use a generous amount and gently pat it onto the wrinkles. Contains banana, papaya, cucumber maca root, black algae, cherry blossom extract, hyaluronic acid and so much more. Has a light banana fragrance to it.

This stuff feels so nice on your skin. It seems to hydrate well and leaves your skin looking and feeling nice. It smells great too. Would recommend.

SMELLS SO GOOD! I love this cream!
