Crepe Erase Reviews

Crepe Erase is an anti-aging treatment set that allegedly helps reduce the appearance of your crepey skin on your face, arms, and chest.

The company states that its product line contains moisturizing ingredients that will plump up your skin, improve firmness, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

No matter who you are, aging will take a toll on your skin. Due to sun damage and diminishing amounts of elastin and collagen, it’s natural for your skin to start becoming thinner and lose its ability to retain moisture as you get older.

This creates the right conditions for developing a crepey appearance, fine lines and wrinkles, and dry, scaly skin.

Most of us begin to see crepey skin as we age due to loss of collagen and elasticity. Dryness and weight loss can also play a factor.

This review examines the safety and effectiveness of the commonly used ingredients in the Crepe Erase anti-aging sets and products.

Are Crepe Erase Ingredients Safe and Effective?

Because it is standard practice to sort ingredients list by greatest concentration, we chose to look at just the top five ingredients in every Crepe Erase product to see whether they stood out to us.

Generally, the ingredients within these products fall under the categories of skin conditioning agents, cleansing agents, solvents, binding agents, and fragrance ingredients. These kinds of ingredients are standard in many skincare products.

One common compound in Crepe Erase products is glycerin. This moisturizing powerhouse is used to hydrate the skin and prevent dry, rough patches.

It's created during the soap-making process when glycerin splits away from fatty acids and blends with water, and the compound is often extracted for other cosmetic products.

Propanediol is another common ingredient in personal care products. It's considered safer than propylene glycol, a compound it often replaces, and should not cause any serious side effects

Are there any ingredients that you should be aware of? Two caught our attention for having potentially troubling side effects.

First, cocamidopropyl betaine is a synthetic detergent that is often used to increase the foaming properties of skin and hair products. The EWG notes that there is a moderate risk of allergies and skin irritation from using products that contain it.

Second, dimethicone, a silicone-based organic polymer, can typically be used on your skin without a problem, though some people experience burning, stinging and redness from using it.

Key Takeaway

Crepe Erase product's main ingredients include common skin conditioning agents. A few products contain compounds that may irritate the extra sensitive skin, but most people should be able to use these products without ill effect.

What Do Customers Think of Crepe Erase?

Close to 150 customers have weighed in on Crepe Erase on our website, and the product averages 1.8 stars. Here are key takeaways from the reviews:

Improvements to Crepey Skin

Twenty reviewers left Crepe Erase a five-star review. These reviewers raved that the products worked as described and that their skin was looking better than ever after using them regularly.

Products Didn't Work

A large portion of Crepe Erase customers thought that this product made little, if any, difference for their skin. A few noted that the products worked as well as standard moisturizers and did little to reduce the appearance of crepy skin.

Works Only with Consistent Use

Some users noted that they saw improvements in their skin after using Crepe Erase products, but that the results were only temporary.

In a few cases, customers wrote that they occasionally skipped a treatment day and that their progress disappeared immediately when they did so.

Trouble with the AutoShip Program and Returns

By far, the biggest complaint we noticed about Crepe Erase was that shoppers ended up paying for than they expected. Some didn't realize they were signing up for an auto-ship program while others continued to be billed even after they thought they had canceled their account.

Many reviewers reported frustrating experiences getting in touch with customer service and cancel their subscription, as they were often on hold for up to an hour before getting in touch with someone.

Key Takeaways

Though some customers are happy with Crepe Erase, most think the products are too expensive, don't work as promised, and come with a questionable auto-shipment policy.

The Bottom Line

Crepe Erase products show some potential to keep your skin healthy and moisturized.

While skincare products could make a significant short-term difference in your skin's appearance, a moisturizing cream can't do enough to restore the hydration that it loses over time.

Topicals like Crepe Erase can temporarily plump up the of the skin and even boost collagen production, but the customer reviews for Crepe Erase show us that the overall effect is often subtle or even unnoticeable.

Likewise, many customers have taken issue with the company's return policy and auto-ship program.

Creams can help crepey skin, but they don't match the effects of a medical procedure.

If you choose to go that route instead, Dr. Tsippora Shainhouse, a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles tells us that micro-needling (Dermapen), radiofrequency, ultrasound, or laser treatments.

However, the best way to avoid crepey skin is to prevent it in the first place. Stay moisturized, keep out of the sun if you aren't wearing SPF, and follow a healthy diet. These lifestyle choices can help you keep your skin at its best for as long as possible.
