"Why The HECK Can't I Find A Wrinkle Cream That Actually WORKS???"
Have
you ever shopped around for an anti-wrinkle cream? What a confusing
mess! There are hundreds of treatments out there that claim to offer
miracle cures for age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. They claim to
make a huge difference in your appearance in just minutes, or even seconds.
That sounds great, right? But it also sounds too good to be true.
If these treatments really do what they claim, then you probably want to
click straight to their home pages and order immediately. The
problem is that most of these products are all marketing hype and promise
much more than they can deliver. You may try several different creams
to treat your wrinkles only to end up with a hole in your bank account and
no visible improvement to your skin.
So, how on earth are you to know which type of wrinkle treatment is worth a try for you? I got my mom and a few friends together to create this website to give you some answers to that very question. I have a bachelor's degree in communications, so I've been trained to spot advertising hype. In looking at what the anti-aging industry has to offer, I've read through mountains of vague claims and hyperbolic promises. But I have found very little documented, scientific, clinical research. My idea for this site was to help you cut through the chaos and find important information about the active ingredients in each type of wrinkle treatment so that you can you make an informed decision about which brand to try.
With
the help of my friends and family, I have put together
reviews for 19
of the leading anti-aging
treatments. Although none of us are scientists or dermatologists,
we have done our research and read about so many different types of products
that we consider ourselves experts on anti-aging treatments. Whenever
we could, we tried the creams on our own skin, but since we had a finite
amount of time and most treatments are supposed to show results after weeks
of use, personally testing everything was impractical. Luckily, we
were able to tap into the wealth of information on the internet to read
about each product on their manufactures' websites, research the active
ingredients in each treatment and sift through positive and negative reviews
from those who have tried each treatment.
After conducting all this research, we devised a system for ranking our anti-aging picks. Our ranking system goes from 1 to 5 (5 is the best) and we evaluated the treatments in each of the following areas:
Before you go through every review looking for
our favorite products, I will spoil the surprise and
tell you our two top picks. Most of the treatments that we reviewed
had one of two functions. They were either designed to give you a
quick lift that would wear off after you wash the product off your face, or
they promise to improve your skin as you use the product over a few weeks.
Our winner in the category of quick results products is
Athena 7 Minute Lift. As the name suggests, this product promises
to give your skin fast results, and it really does! It is made from
essential oils and natural botanicals so we found nothing to raise our
concerns about harsh chemicals. This product is great to use in the
morning under your makeup, or in the evening before you go out to a special
event. If you are looking for quick results, you can't go wrong with
Athena.
In
the category of creams that offer more permanent results over a longer
period of time, our pick is
LifeCell. This product was created by the doctors and
dermatologists of South Beach Skin Care Clinic to be effective against free
radicals, depletion of collagen and the many factors that make our skin look
older. Its active ingredients work to firm facial muscles and act as
powerful antioxidants to fight free radicals that damage skin and make it
look older. My mom personally tested Life Cell and was thrilled
with the results. She says even though she is a grandma, her skin has
improved so much that she fits right in with her kids and grandkids.
Our hope is that you will find helpful information in our reviews that is lacking from so many other sites that we have visited. Along this line, we have also created another section of this website to address other skin care issues. We all want our skin to stay as young, firm and supple as possible while we age. But there are plenty of other skin concerns that can occur throughout life. Unfortunately, there is almost as much misinformation about every type of skin care and beauty regimen as we found in the anti-aging products. Be sure to check out the 'skin care tips' section before you go, more specifically the 'Nutrition and Exercise for Beautiful Skin' section, since that is where it all starts! :)
Also, if you're feeling this economic downturn like the majority of us here in the U.S., my mom and I have sought out three creams that offer complementary, 100% GENUINE free trials that are completely safe for your skin and actually live up to their claims on their websites. Our favorite pick in this 'free trials' category is an 'Acai' cream called Lift Sp. You can view our review below:
Lift SP: What Can It Do For You?
There are literally hundreds of skin care products out there that claim to help us reduce or even eliminate the signs of aging that appear on our skin. Lift SP is a fairly new addition to this marketplace and was developed by skin care specialist Dr. Stephen Jepson. He is the director of the Utah Dermatalogic and Medical Procedures Clinic in Salt Lake City, and you might recognize his name from some of his many appearances on ABC TV, the Lifetime Network or Fox News. He is also the author of a best-selling book entitled 7 Ways to Look Younger Without Undergoing the Knife.
Dr. Jepson believes that women and men who want to look younger have many alternatives to costly and painful cosmetic surgeries. He developed Lift SP as a way for people who are concerned about wrinkles to see a nearly instantaneous improvement in the appearance of their skin. If you are like me, your suspicions may be raised by anything that claims to get instant results, so I took some time to investigate the ingredients and the science behind Lift SP.
Active Ingredients
The main components of Lift SP are several different polypeptides. If you are not a chemist or molecular biologist, that term may not mean anything to you, but simply put, peptides are chains of amino acids linked together. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and all of us know that adequate protein in the diet is important for good health. Lift SP also contains acai berry extract. This is the antioxidant-packed fruit of the South American rain forest that has received so much attention for its health benefits. But what about applying such things to our faces? Can that really help to reduce wrinkles?
You may be surprised to find out that clinical trials have shown that Lift SP really can help make wrinkles and lines less noticeable. The website makes no claims that the product can achieve permanent wrinkle reduction, but instead promises that it will create an instant lifting and firming effect that will last about eight hours.
Conclusion
So, will Lift SP work for you? Since all people have different skin types, it is difficult to give a definitive answer to that question. The good news is that you can get a free sample to try it out. For only $4.95 to cover shipping and handling, you can order enough Lift SP to last for 14 days. That way you can see for yourself whether this product produced by a medical doctor can help you to look younger. Click here to learn more.
