All Anti-Aging

Ok, saying Cellex C High Potency Serum is a failure is a little much. In fact, the reverse is true.

So how did it really fare for me?

I've actually been using this serum for just a couple years now. I'm not too much of a high maintence person when it's about skincare. I only use a few of the best products to get the job done (my drawer isn't full of hundreds of different moisturizers and anti-aging creams). After testing many one of the products I decided to stick with was the High Potency Serum.

What I Else I Wanted to Tell You About Cellex C High Potency Serum

It appears from a report put out in 2007 that the once unquestionable integrity of Consumer Reports research work may now be called into question. For decades, the public has steadfastly relied on this research organization/magazine to be the voice of reason in a mass marketing society where the first victim of an effective promotional campaign is all too often the truth. So are they too now fudging their own test processes and data? Why not you be the judge on that.

Dealing With That “Vocal Element” When Your Trying to Look Your Best

Consumer Reports anti wrinkle creams report takes aim at product users

Be it buying expensive designer clothing or fashion accessories, having your nails done, joining an indoor tanning salon, getting a nip and tuck job at a local clinic or purchasing and using topical cosmetic products. We all know that theres always going to be that “vocal element” in the crowd thats going to have some sort of problem with it. It can even go as far a some turkey pulling out his or her bible and claiming that vanity is a sin.

Was This Consumer Reports Anti Wrinkle Creams Study Biased??

So whats the deal with the people at Consumer reports? How is it that they would allow a study like this to be put out that beginning with its first sentence, appears to be at least written by that “vocal element”. What in the hell do the people at Consumer Reports care if some lady in Tuscaloosa wants to spend her own money to look just a little bit better if she feels like it!

Two Blatant Errors In the Very First sentence - Whaaaat!!!

Two mistakes in the first sentence is off to a bad start

So lets check out this first sentence on whats supposed to be an unbiased scientific research report. “We have all heard the claims”. What freaking claims are they talking about! Are they suggesting that virtually all topical skin care product manufacturers all make the same “claims”. Also they aren't spoken, they're “printed”! As any high school English composition instructor can tell you, it should have been “We have all read the claims” because containers of hand cream can't talk!

Consumer Reports Advises That 10% Wrinkle Reduction Just Isn't Worth It!

Okay. So their first sentence contains two blatant errors that no credible scientific report should have in it. Blatant, biased sarcasm and a blatant compositional error. Lets just move on from there though because after all, theres more then one sentence in this so called “scientific report”. A report that in its final analysis advises all men and women out there who are concerned about their looks, that a “10% improvement just isn't worth it”.

Obviously a Low Budget Study Project

Hey Buddy. Can you spare a little change for a consumer products study?

Now with so many products to select for this Consumer Reports Anti Wrinkle Creams Study, I was more than a little anxious to read it. Hey! I could finally learn how so many of the products that I've seen advertised online stacked up. Well what a shock when I saw that this popular internationally distributed magazine could only afford to test but a mere handful of them. Whats the deal?! One would think that they would have gone through and picked some of the more popular new age wrinkle cream products! A Whole basket full!

Why Did the Consumer Reports Anti Wrinkle Creams Study Test So Few Products?

Nope! Sorry folks! All they chose to use in this test were a few primarily ultra-expensive French made products in the $200+ price range and a few cheaper products right out of your corner market in the $10+ price range. They did test a couple popular mid range priced products. Names that you might recognize, such Strivectin but that was about it. Finally, aside from their snide reference in their first sentence to so called “claims”, the report never mentions any details about what any specific products are advertised to do! Nothing!!

How Come They Avoided Mentioning Product Claims In Detail?

Hey! Don't ask questions!

The reason for that is simple and thats because if they had printed manufacturers claims, they would have found that their study results actually backed up what so many anti wrinkle cream manufacturers have printed on their labels. You see, not one product manufacturer claims that their anti wrinkle creams will completely eliminate wrinkles. Also most all claim that their products produce cumulate results. They take time! How much time???

If it Doesn't Eliminate Your wrinkles Completely - Dump It!!

Consumer reports says that after 90 days, if a product has diminished wrinkles by 10%, you should simply toss it in the trash can and never try to do anything about your wrinkles again. Your simply stuck with them and thats life. Hey! What about another 90 days you freakin idiots! Can you believe it?! So they're saying that the best products tested that actually did produce 10% wrinkle reduction on day 90, stopped working and did nothing more on day 91 or 92!!!

Eliminating Your Wrinkles Is Just a Big Waste Of Money Anyway!!!

Consumer Reports advises that you simply learn to acccept your wrinkles

Can you believe that they actually have the gall to explain their logic? They claim in the Consumer Reports Anti Wrinkle Cream Study that “not one cream was found to eliminate wrinkles completely” and therefore they're all considered a waste of money. Also because so many were found to produce different rates of improvement on different people in the test study, they're therefore unpredictable and a waste of money.

If Anti Wrinkle Creams Don't Work the Same On Everyone - Dump All Of Em!!!

Every anti wrinkle cream maker out there will be the first to tell you that all people and all skin types are different and that you shouldn't expect the same results that the next person achieved from using any one product. Some results are better and some are not so “better”. Hey! Everyone knows this! Thats why they have serums and other treatment products that are so often recommended to be used in conjunction with anti wrinkle creams. Hey Mr. Consumer Reports! Did you test any anti oxidant serums?? No?? Well why not?? I thought so!

You Really Have Got To Be Kidding Me!!

Don't try this at home kids

Finally, the Consumer Reports Anti Wrinkle cream Study makes some mention of an “wrinkle measuring machine” that they used to measure the results. This machine was how they came up with the quantitative 10% improvement figure! Can you believe it?! A “wrinkle-o-matic-altra-nutronic-nebulizer”! Now just who's really slinging the “BS” here? What is this machine and what is its margin for error? Even alcohol breath tests machines that are used in court have a margin for error and have to be periodically re-calibrated. Do they really think the public is just that stupid??!!

10% Fewer Wrinkle On My 50 Year Old Face Equals Five Years Off - I'll Take That”!!

What about skin tone and elasticity? Did it measure that? Did it measure how crows feet bunch up “or don't bunch up” when a person smiles after using an anti wrinkle product? Can you just picture some grim, gray haired scientist in horn rimmed glasses plugging some devise to some poor womans face to test a skin cream??? What a riot! I don't know about you but a 10% wrinkle reduction off my 50 year old face works out to be 5 years younger in 90 days and I'll gladly take that!

Go ahead and look all you want online and you will pretty much come up empty handed in your search for qualified data garnered from research on anti wrinkle creams. Sure the different companies put out their own reports on their own in house research studies. All of them positive. Any surprise there?

Can You Trust Their Own In House Research Data?

The problem is that because they're topical skin products that aren't marketed as drugs or a cure for anything, they aren't regulated by the FDA. You see, for a drug to get approved by the FDA it requires some ten years of extensive research. Hence; by the time any one drug hits the market, theres literally piles of research data on it.

Doing Your Own Research On Anti Wrinkle Creams

What you have to do is to learn to do your own research on anti wrinkle creams if you want to find out which ones truly do deliver results. Also before you even begin, you have to come to terms with what you are after. “Natural or chemical”. Long term consistent results or short term results for an occasional evening out etc.

Many Do Work - But Some Better Than Others

The fact is that you can now find any number of topical skin treatment products that really do work. They puff up skin where it's needed to push out wrinkles, while some suck skin flat in the case of bags under the eyes. Also there are great all around moisturizing creams that really do cause your skin to retain fluids.

Beautiful Skin Attained Through Modern Chemistry

The fact is however, that if you're into “natural” products you're going to have to lower your expectations a bit. You see the “all time best” anti wrinkle creams all rely on powerful chemicals to produce their results. Sorry! It's just the way that things have panned out in the research and development laboratory. In fact some of the most effective chemicals that you can find listed on anti wrinkle creams are said to be somewhat dangerous.

User Satisfaction Research On Anti Wrinkle Creams

One of the most telling areas to look to when doing your own research on anti wrinkle creams is user satisfaction numbers. Some companies will fudge theirs a little bit, but for the most part, they have to be truthful in this area or risk reprisals from governmental regulating agencies such as the Better Business Bureau or the Consumer Products Safety Commission.

Check Out Some Of the Free Trial Offers Now Available Online

Still one more great idea, is to try out all the free test offers that are available online. Do be aware however, that when you sign up for these free sample deals, that they do have a set time period that you get to use the product in. Read the terms carefully, because if you fail to abide by them, you can end up being charged for what you thought was going to be free of charge.

It really wasn't all that many years back when no one really cared if there was a best rated eye wrinkle cream out there and the reason for this was simple. None of them worked anyway! Ha! They were all made up of water, oil, emulsifiers to keep them all bound together in a smooth goop and perfume to make them all smell good. Then about twenty or so years ago something began to change.

New Knowledge and New Substances Begin To Produce Real Results

That something, was that researchers began to finally understand just how the micro-biological restorative functions of the skin worked. Also around the same time, chemical engineers began to produce new substances that could function as a form of replacement therapy for natural chemicals that the skin produced and stored. Also new chemicals were produced that could “force” the skin to look and behave like young skin again. Constrict micro-connective fibers etc.

For Fast Immediate & Visible Results Forget About the Natural “Stuff”

So if your now in the market for the #1 all time best rated eye wrinkle cream your going to have to skip going the “natural route”. Sure there have been some big advancements with semi-natural substances like resveratrol but natural “stuff” has a long way to go before any can even begin to get close to the results that todays top research chemical engineers have come up with.

Actual Visible Results In Five Minutes & An 80% User Approval Rating!!

Kinerase Extreme Lift Eye is a prime example of what a product can accomplish through modern chemistry. Can you believe that the makers of this particular “wrinkle bag and dark circle” treatment promise results in “five minutes”! Puffiness, wrinkles and dark circles eliminated in five short minutes. Sound like a big crock of BS? Well get this! It has an 80% user approval rating!

Endorsed By NBC's Today Show As the #1 Best Rated Eye Wrinkle Cream

This products was even featured in a recent segment of NBC's Today Show when Kathy Lee Gifford openly admitted that she always felt that claims made by topical skin care products makers were a “bunch of bull”. She then went on to say that when she first heard that this stuff will work in five minutes, her response was, “sure right it does”. Anyway, she and her co-hos tried it and they both announced on public TV thats its the best rated eye wrinkle cream available today.

Of all the anti-oxidant anti-aging products to hit the market in recent years, trying to compare resveratrol products can be the most difficult. You see, it's not a drug. It's simply a plant derivative that occurs naturally in a lot of the foods that we eat and drink. However; if it were a drug, you can bet that some company would hold a patent on it and reams of proven information about it would be available that was garnered through FDA testing.

Trying To Get To the Bottom Of Just How It Works

So you read a little bit here and watch a video there and try to do your best to come up with some answers that you may have about this new anti-aging health supplement. The problem is you see, that it takes a heck of a lot of money to do the studies that are needed to get to the very bottom of how this stuff actually works. So who's going to put up the money if no one can claim sole marketing rights?

A Lab Did Test and Compare Resveratrol Products On Small Fish

So along the way some independent labs have done some experiments that in spite of their lack huge amounts of money, have revealed a lot. For instance, one independent lab sometime back performed a control test in which groups of some fish were fed resveratrol, while other groups in separate tanks weren't. Guess what? The fish that got the resveratrol lived substantially longer.

It Did Block Cancer In Test Mice and Thats a Fact!

Then in another test, mice had their skin covered with a powerful carcinogen (a cancer causing substance). They were separated in separate groups and one group had their skin also covered with resveratrol and the other group didn't. When the test was completed, it was determined that the mice that were treated with resveratrol had a much lower rate of skin cancer.

Remember That It's Not Regulated By the FDA

So resveratrol does work on test animals to inhibit cancer and prolong life. Also it was long ago proven to be a powerful anti oxidant as well. So now lets see how we can compare resveratrol products to see that we always get the best deal when purchasing it. Remember that its not regulated by the FDA, so just as when you purchase food, you want to make sure you don't get short weighted.

Read the Fine Print and Check To See If it Has Been Independently Tested

One thing you can do is to check to see if the company you're considering purchasing your resveratrol supplements from has them tested by an independent laboratory. Also read the fine print on any free trail offers that require that you sign up to purchase their products on a monthly plan at a set price. You see, often times it pays to go without the free trail offers and just shop around for the best overall price.
