I just saw an investigative reporting show on television that I wanted to share with you all. I spend a lot of money on products and I am never sure if they are actually doing anything.
A professor (age 50) worked with research labs to determine if there could be a scientific basis for antiaging claims.
Bottom line - I will start with the best news
1) Reversing wrinkles - Analysis was done to demonstrate through skin biopsies if there was improvement or reversal of damage and improvement of collagen.
- MD prescribed Tretinoin made reversal at all levels of the skin
- A product which you can buy from a pharmacy in the UK and others and I believe the line may be available in the US -
- No 7 Protect and Perfect serum- an over the counter product also had reversal at the lower levels of the skin
2) Protection against free radicals
- They tested a wide number of different cremes. Actually a number of very expensive cremes did not do much, even though they had a mixture of the different antioxidants in the creme. They think it is the combinations that actually stopped them working.
the two top cremes
- Nivea visage age reversal intense rejuvenating creme - (Scientificantly showed to stop 3 types of free radical damage)
-Prevage - significant free radical reduction in all 5 types of free radicals
3)As part of investigating antiaging claims on expensive moisturizers - they uncovered that the only ingredient that they need to have is SPF - then they can say antiaging. So, the 3rd element in the beauty bag was just a high level SPF creme.
I use prevage (and had no reaction to it) and I use Retin A creme. I am going to add the No 7 and the Nivea to my list.
take care all
