The "secret" ingredient in Algenist is Alguronic Acid, a mixture of byproducts from algae. This line has gotten attention from The New York Times. Basically, it is a byproduct of algae and there are a bunch of peptides. I don't have enough info to tell you how the algae works on the skin, but in vitro this anti-aging complex increases collagen synthesis by up to 209%, increases proteoglycan synthesis by up to 155%, and increases elastin synthesis by up to 32%.
The new line is already in stock at Sephora, and I'll be trying it out soon. What do you think?

I am in the market for an anti-aging product and, have just now started reading different product reviews. I saw this too at Sephora. I think I will give this a try also.
I tried two products from the line but just wasn't impressed...it did not do much for me so I passed it to a friend. Hopefully she will love it. As I learned, some great products don't work for everyone! Karen/So Fla
I'm using Algenist products for about a month.
I noticed difference in a week or so, but when my co workers began to tell that my skin looks radian, and asked what kind of cream I use...
so, at this moment you know, that it works, it really works...
