InvisiCrepe Body Balm Review

What is InvisiCrepe Body Balm?

InvisiCrepe Body Balm is an anti-aging body balm by City Beauty that is designed to gradually erase the look of crepey skin anywhere on the body.

This body balm is said to be more than just a moisturizer. While it offers full hydration and support for your skin barrier, it also benefits your skin’s production of youthful levels of collagen and elastin to help smooth and plump the look of saggy, wrinkled skin. In this review, we’ll discuss who may benefit from this product, key ingredients used in the formulation, how to use the product, InvisiCrepe Body Balm reviews from real customers, and alternatives that you may want to consider. 

Who is it for?

InvisiCrepe Body Balm is a solution for several skin concerns that commonly occur due to the aging process, such as crepey skin, dehydration, thinning skin, sagging skin, and wrinkles. This body balm can be used by all skin types, including normal, oily, combination, dry, and even sensitive skin. However, if you have sensitive or allergic skin, it’s always recommended to do a patch test first before trying any new skin care product, including InvisiCrepe Body Balm.

Formulation insight

InvisiCrepe Body Balm is formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, gluten, nuts, and animal-derived ingredients.

In addition, City Beauty is cruelty-free and does not test on animals. The InvisiCrepe Body Balm formula is claimed to make long-term repairs to the skin barrier and help strengthen the skin’s cellular protein matrix, resulting in a smoother, firmer, more hydrated feel.

It targets all the symptoms of crepey skin through 3 main pathways: hydration, cell regeneration, and protein network support.

One of the key ingredients in InvisiCrepe Body Balm that improves skin hydration is called AcquaCell, a natural complex of watermelon rind extract, lentil fruit extract, unripened apple and apple skin. Watermelon rind contains citrulline, which aids in the function of filaggrin. Filaggrin plays an integral role in maintaining skin hydration by preserving stratum corneum integrity and the production of Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) components.

Lentil contains vitamin B5 and trisaccharides, and apple starch contains polysaccharides, sodium lactate, and sodium PCA. All of these components replenish the skin’s NMF, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines. 

DL Lipids is another ingredient in InvisiCrepe Body Balm that helps to improve the skin’s hydration. DL Lipids is a proprietary blend consisting of soy lipids, soybean phytosterols, and plant based sodium hyaluronate. The composition of these plant lipids is said to mimic the naturally occurring lipid structure of the human lipid bilayer (the skin barrier).

A strong, intact barrier is important to keep moisture in and keep things like allergens, bacteria, and irritants out.

When the barrier is weakened, these intruders can pass through the top layer of skin, causing damage that ultimately leads to common skin conditions such as acne, rashes, sensitive skin, and even signs of aging.

A key ingredient in InvisiCrepe Body Balm that promotes cell regeneration is Lactococcus ferment lysate. Lactococcus ferment lysate helps to maintain a healthy balance in the skin’s microbiome by maximizing the benefits of good bacteria, which strengthens the skin’s natural defenses for optimal hydration, reduced inflammation and redness, and improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition,

Lactococcus ferment lysate works together with oat bran extract in the InvisiCrepe Body Balm formula to activate cell regeneration and provide a firming effects. 

Another key ingredient in the InvisiCrepe Body Balm is niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3. Niacinamide acts as a precursor to the coenzymes NADH and NADPH. These coenzymes play an important role in cellular metabolism, which means they provide skin cells with the energy needed to function properly.

Niacinamide has the ability to repair the skin barrier and improve skin moisture, as well as reduce inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling.

In addition, niacinamide increases dermal collagen production (lab tests show it can boost collagen by an impressive 54%), which helps to promote firmer, tighter skin. 

Ribose is another ingredient in InvisiCrepe Body Balm that helps to increase dermal collagen production. Specifically, this plant-derived nutrient boosts energy levels in your fibroblasts by 19%. Fibroblasts are the cells that produce matrix proteins, such as collagen.

Once again, restoring youthful collagen levels helps to promote firmer, tighter, younger-looking skin.

How to use?

Before applying InvisiCrepe Body Balm, ensure that your skin is clean and dry. Massage the balm into areas of concern once per day to receive optimal benefits. City Beauty explains that there is no need to reapply InvisiCrepe Body Balm since it is formulated to not only deeply hydrate skin, but to retain hydration.
