Products That Can Eliminate Fine Lines And Wrinkles


If the manufacturers can get aways from their words that lead a lot of people to believe that their product can perform such a miraculous feats, they will continually seel it using documentary-style techniquess showing images of protein or vitamins or some chemical entering into your hair shalf or skin. However, some of this words are not much misleading. Consider the example below;

" A special biphasic formula which combines a crystal get containing hydrating and stimulating agents with opalescent filaments enriched with anti-aging vitamin A and E. Smoothes the eyelids and softens and tones the epidermis. Profressively helps to smooth lines and wrinkles and visibly reduces bags and dark shadows. Non-gresy, refreshing and instatntly soothing. Helps to relieve congestion and prevent puffiness."

We can only guess at what they are trying to say- and can come up with some bizarre conclusions. The word biphasic formula basically means it is emulsion of oil and water, like any other cosmetic. Crystal Gel is confusing since gel is a liquid help together in a solid structure while Crystal are a solid structures. The Opalescent Filaments are nothing more than opaque, shiny strands of come insoluble materials like silk, nylon, carbomere, or some other inert materila with vitamins absorbed onto the surface. Unless vitamins and filaments go together like needles or splinters, where they would cause severe irritation. The fact that the gel affects only the outer layer of dead skin which is constantly being shed by the body, a process that can be aided by a good rub with a face towel.

Don't be fooled of the sensation of your eye gel which feels like it is working if the water content evaporates, or if an ingredients like Carbomer forms a film that shrinks on drying, or an astringents which dries the skin, as these all all temporary.

The manufacturers are careful not to make words that are untrue by saying that their product "HELPS" to smooth lines and wrinkles and visibly reduces bags and dark shadow. It might only be filling in the lines but the effect is minimal, hardly noticeable to the naked eye.

You cannot eliminate fine line and wrinkles unless you use retinoic acid (available on prescription only), collagen implants, fat transplant, deep skin peels, or a face lift. If this gel reduce dark circles and puffiness, it is classified as a drug that would not be available over the counter.
