Wrinkle eye creams

In general, the best way to handle wrinkles is to accept the fact we are aging and do the best to embrace them.

Oops… I know, you came here for a miracle cure. I am sorry, but I think that the fastest that you come to terms with your age the easier it will be to handle the situation. See, you can still work wonders on your face, improve the tone of your skin and overall obtain a much younger facial expression whether through facial excercises or specialty creams -yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel- that can work out some improvement.

But there is a reason for the heads up. In a coming issue by Consumerreports.org, the team at work tested 16 over-the-counter wrinkle creams both from the US and Europe to find a mix bag of results. The creams that proved to work resulted in a noticeable improvement of the skin around the eyes, however, even in the best cases women weren’t able to take years away from their shoulders. The controversy stems from the fact that highly priced creams worked evenly to the controlled cream -a moisturizer with no anti-wrinkle claims- used by CR as their benchmark. In the cases of the creams that showed good results this was based on “reduced wrinkle length or depth”.

A few quick conclusions:

* Changes were minor even among the best-performing products.
* Wrinkle reduction around the eyes was generally pretty subtle.
* After six weeks of daily use, none came close to eliminating wrinkles.
* Pricing made no difference whatsoever and drugstore brands performed equally to premium brands.

So when all is said and done… keep drinking lots and lots of water!
