During the season of Shark Tank, there was a lot of buzz around a new wrinkle cream called AngelLift. However, what exactly is this cream? Will it actually work?
AngelLift
During the May 2, 2014 episode of Shark Tank, AngelLift was presented as an anti-aging facelift solution that could make the lips look fuller, reduce smile lines, and reverse the aging process. It was a unique solution for an age-old problem, and a popular pitch among Shark Tank viewers.
The inventor of AngelLift Dermastrips, Aaron Bruce, pitches for half a million dollars. He is a Washington University graduate and multiple patent holder. His product has been tested in Canada, and is now available over-the-counter.
AngelLift Dermastrips are a non-invasive, non-chemical skin treatment that restores the pressure lost from gum lines, thereby reversing the aging process. It works by using pressure focused under either lip. This improves cellular function and results in firmer skin.
In addition to its oral strips, AngelLift also offers a low pH collagen solution. The low pH collagen solution is used to improve the anti-aging effects of the oral strips.
Glow Recipe
During a Shark Tank episode, two K-beauty gurus, Sarah Lee and Christine Chang, presented Glow Recipe, a company that curates and sells Korean beauty products. They claimed to have a great idea and asked for $425,000 for a 10% stake in the company.
Glow Recipe is one of the most popular K-beauty e-tailers in the United States. Its products are sold on the company’s website, Amazon, and boutique stores. It is a Korean inspired beauty brand that is changing the way beauty brands are marketed.
Glow Recipe’s product line is a mix of skincare products, including retinol-based avocado sleeping eye masks, watermelon PHA+BHA toners, and plum serums with hyaluronic acid. These products are clinically effective and designed to help you look and feel your best.
Sarah Lee and Christine Chang have both worked in the beauty industry for over a decade. They worked together at L’Oreal in Korea and later moved to New York City. In 2014, they left their jobs at L’Oreal and started Glow Recipe. Their goal was to provide high-quality Korean cosmetics to consumers in the United States.

Success
During Shark Tank’s five seasons, a number of skincare and haircare products made the cut. Among them were Range Beauty’s Alicia Scott, Young King Hair Care’s Cora and Stefan Miller, The Cut Buddy’s Joshua Esnard, The Lip Bar’s Melissa Butler, and 54 Thrones’ Christina Funke Tegbe.
The Sharks didn’t take kindly to the product samples, however. Speaks’ eyebrow gel made the cut, as did another skincare product: Wrinkles Schminkles, a silicone pad to combat wrinkles. In less than two weeks, the product went from a demo to over 500 online sales.
DermaProGenix, a new product, made the cut, too. The sisters behind the skincare product celebrated with a cake, champagne, and a standing ovation. They were also offered a $425k investment by all five panel members.
The most expensive product offered during Shark Tank’s fifth season, however, was a non-surgical, non-injection wrinkle-reduction system created by Kelly and Aaron Bruce. AngelLift is designed to produce similar results as anti-aging creams, but without the pain and expense.
Kevin O’Leary
Despite his best efforts to avoid it, Kevin O’Leary’s wrinkle cream on Shark Tank isn’t just confined to women-friendly businesses. His investment style has spread across every industry. And he’s even managed to turn a profit.
During his career as a “Shark” investor, O’Leary has made more than $8.5 million in 40 deals. He expects two or three of those to turn out to be huge hits. But one of those investments really got under his skin.
In 2013, O’Leary invested $75,000 in Wicked Good Cupcakes, a company that makes gourmet cupcakes. The business grew to $10 million in sales within three years. The cupcakes were sold at more than 15,000 bakeries.
O’Leary also invested in photo-printing app subscription service Groovebook. Paiji Yoo and Naqvi countered O’Leary’s offer, offering 3% equity in Blueland. They also offered a royalty on every hat sold. The royalty would drop to $1 per hat when the two investors were no longer involved in the company.
