Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let's face it, we all want to look younger for as long as we can. Do these products really work or are we spending a lot of money for little results? I am 75 years old and bought this cream because I started using Neutrogena facial cleanser from the time I was 12 years old. Back then, my Mom told me to never use soap on my face, so I never did. I like this cream simply because it moisturizes, absorbs quickly into my skin, and doesn't have a strong odor. I have tried creams that are so thick, they just sit on your face without being absorbed. This cream doesn't do that, and it does seem to moisturize my face. Other than that, I really don't expect any great rejuvenation of my skin. This cream does include retinol which can cause redness until your skin gets used to it, but I haven't had a problem with this. Retinol may help for as long as it is used, but the effects are not lasting. The hyaluronic acid may help with hydration, and can also help if retinol causes reddening of the skin. So, really, what does all of this mean and will this cream help you? Will it reduce or prevent wrinkles? If you have dry skin, this cream will likely help to prevent wrinkles, and many help to reduce the wrinkles you have that have been caused by dry skin. Will this cream magically make all your wrinkles disappear? Probably not. There is too much dependent on heredity, environment, lifestyle, and diet for any cream to overcome. No cream will compensate for heredity and what we do to our bodies, and no cream will undo damage done. I have included a picture of myself at 75 years of age and also on of my Mom when she was 99 years old. Yes, Mom had some wrinkles, but not so bad at her age and the only cream I used on her face was a moisturizer. What I am saying here is that the state of your skin condition is determined by multiple factors including hereditary tendencies, diet, and lifestyle. No cream can compensate for these factors. I hope this review was helpful for you.
