UPDATED: April 16th, 2024. Due to Dishonest Business Practices, I No Longer Recommend Xtend-Life’s Products or The Company.

What is the best skin day cream on the market? Is it also an anti-aging moisturizer product, too? This review will hopefully answer all your questions so welcome to this review of the Xtend-Life Age Defying Day Cream for Women.

The company that makes this product, Xtend-Life, is based in New Zealand and is renowned for their dietary supplement products. A couple of years ago, they ventured into the highly competitive skincare product space with a full assortment of various skincare products including body lotion, facial moisturizer, eye serum, cleansing mask, facewash, night cream and of course, a skin lightening or whitening or cream. (For more skincare product reviews, go here.)

Let’s now delve more in depth into this Natural Whitening Day Cream skincare product.

Features & Benefits of This Day Cream

Most skin whitening cream actually are very irritating to one’s skin. Very much so in fact. In truth, it’s one of the key reasons why most women give up using it consistently, and understandably so.

For women, while there are other skincare products on the market, one of the features of this product is that it has a lot of “all-in-one” benefits. It is not only a lightening or whitening cream but also an antiaging moisturizer that helps to deter aging skin. Its primary competence is that it will gradually and naturally whiten your skin while also making it brighter and healthier.

Let’s first talk about how it’s made.

All products from the company that makes this Natural Skin Whitening Day Cream product are produced in what are called cGMP, or GMP, compliant manufacturing facilities. Their facilities are also FDA-registered as well.

Good Manufacturing Prасtісеѕ, or GMP (sometimes spelled as “cGMP” with the “c” meaning “current”) аrе standards оutlіnеd bу thе Food аnd Drug Admіnіѕtrаtіоn (FDA) thаt аddrеѕѕ аll аѕресtѕ оf dіеtаrу ѕuррlеmеnt рrоduсtіоn, frоm rаw іngrеdіеnt ѕоurсіng to final рrоduсt rеlеаѕе, аѕ wеll as еmрlоуее training and facility аnd еquірmеnt maintenance. Ongoing аudіtѕ аrе performed іn оrdеr to ensure continued compliance wіth the rеgulаtіоnѕ. Cоmраnіеѕ whо earn this dеѕіgnаtіоn have dіѕрlауеd a clear аnd consistent еmрhаѕіѕ оn quality throughout the manufacturing process.

Let’s now discuss its main benefits.

The Xtend-Life company says this product will stimulate thе buіlduр of соllаgеn, a сrіtісаl рrоtеіn іn thе соnnесtіvе tіѕѕuеѕ аnd ѕkіn, and еlаѕtіn regrowth. Thіѕ effectively mеаnѕ thаt you wіll hаvе wrіnklеѕ dіѕарреаr аnd the skin’s cells wіll have more оf a уоuthful glоw.

Thе company also says a special ingredient сultіvаtеd from sea kеlр called рhуtеѕѕеnсе wakame рrеvеntѕ the brеаkdоwn оf hyaluronic acid, whісh іѕ сrіtісаl tо ѕkіn health. Thе соmраnу says іt іnсrеаѕеѕ thе hеаlthу lеvеlѕ of hуаlurоnіс асіd tо thаt оf ѕоmеоnе іn their 20’ѕ оr 30’ѕ. They аlѕо say thіѕ іѕ clinically vаlіdаtеd.

Lаѕtlу, аmоng the аntі-оxіdаntѕ оr аntі-аgіng еlеmеntѕ thаt аrе used in the fоrmulа іѕ an іngrеdіеnt саllеd nano-Lipobelle H EQ10. It іѕ a со-еnzуmе Q10 іn, thе соmраnу says, “a ѕресіаl ‘nаnl-еmulѕіоn’ fоrm, which саn penetrate dоwn thrоugh ѕеvеn lауеrѕ оf skin. It іѕ extremely еffесtіvе аt ‘gobbling uр’ free rаdісаlѕ іn уоur skin, which results іn quіtе a drаmаtіс anti-wrinkle effect.”

Another key ingredient is extrapone nutgrass, which has been, according to the company, “proven in clinical trials to reduce melanin by up to 40%.” Why is this important? This ingredient is the main “whitening” ingredient, the company says. It was developed by a German company and is proven to be irritant-free as well as have whitening properties.

By the way, Melanin is a substance that gives skin and hair pigment or colorization. So, this product helps to remove and/or lessen the advent of age spots on the body.

The net effect is that there is a constant “de-aging” of the skin, the company says. So, the end result is healthier, cleanier, whiter skin with less wrinkles and a more youthful glow. The skin also becomes smoother as well.

Customer Reviews & Testimonials

This seems to be a well received product in the marketplace. Here are a few testimonials the company has received from customers:

I just received my order and I am very pleased to say that I really like the texture of this product. I have very sensitive skin, and so far I have not had any negative reaction.
Vasiliki A, Canada

So far I’m really impressed with the product I’ve tried first — and I’ve got acne prone skin, but I’ve noticed it shrinking pore size, and with that, less breakouts occurring. Thanks so much for your help.
Meg G, USA

I have in the last week taken receipt of your skincare range that I ordered. I have now been using it for four days and just wanted to drop you a note to say it’s wonderful. I am noticing a shift in the feeling of my skin already so am keen to see how it looks after a few weeks.
Samantha C, Australia

Pros?

• It was produced in FDA-registered and GMP-compliant facilities
• It is paraben- and fragrance-free
• It has a synergistic blend of ingredients that are clinically proven
• It works with and for all skin types, i.e., greasy, dry, acne prone, etc.
• It helps with rosacea
• It works in a complementary way with the company’s other skincare products

Cons?

• The company is dishonest with its business practices
• Some may balk at its $34.75 price
• The packaging or tube it comes in is not as “fancy” as other skincare product lines
• Shipping is only free if one orders $60 USD or more of products
• It is SPF factor (the company thinks this is a positive, though).

Where Can I Buy This Day Cream?

You can buy it here, but you are, of course, free to choose what you want to do.

My conclusion? This is a very high quality product produced in top-notch facilities. The product’s ingredients are clinically proven to work, too. That is important for many as well. The most fundamental question is, “Does it work?” It appears to work very well, but that is up to you to decide.

That said…

I no longer recommend Xtend-Life products. I did so for 19 years but now, since the company was sold by its founders the new owners engage in dishonest business practices. I’ve personally experienced this.

I hope this review of this skincare product has been helpful. Whether or not it is the best skin day cream is debatable but it is a very high quality product.
