Yes, please! It looks fantastic-I'd love to try it out! 😍🎁

[@carmosin]

Yes! It should say “healthy aging” instead. I would buy right away.

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

You cannot even define what that means.😊

[@louiserealandhonest]

@@carmosin I agree

I'm so glad you said it..I've been wanting to say it too. Stuff doesn't work anyway. We do age however using natural cleaners and moisturizer will extend your beauty gracefully 🎉

@valariecovington8379 Moisturizer helps but it's not a miracle.

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

Not necessarily true, my grandma and a lot of women who use cold cream didn't have wrinkles on their face at least and my grandma died over 80. They are apart of age but why? That's the question. Maybe there is something to undo them but I think wrinkled skin is extremely dry and damaged skin.

My friend aged badly, she drank more than a drunk sailor. Cream can only go so far.

[@jesusreturning3003]

True...when I'm not using their products my skin is back to normal. When I use it, it looks a little more hydrated and alive... The thing is, due to sensitive skin I can't use just anything it has to be specific brands and ingredients, which help with hydration, scaring, skin barrier issues... tho they help while I'm using them, I don't see much happening with my skin when I'm taking breaks from it... For me, it's just a treat for my skin to minimise inflammation in the skin, etc... i should start making my own skin care.

Yes it is possible, it's called Tretinoin. Please inform yourself before spreading misinformation.

@veronikakeehl5746 tretinoin is primarily an exfoliant, and it's not extremely well studied - anecdotally it's clearly gotten its accolades and I myself have seen it make marked improvement on the texture & discoloration of my skin. But there is no cosmetic powerful enough to keep skin from wrinkling or sagging or thinning simply because skin is forever shedding and growing anew and with time the very mechanisms within your body that grow new skin change. Yes, sunscreen protects your skin which means it has less stress on it, which helps. Some topicals & medications can interact with skin & collagen a little too, but none of it is nearly as powerful as aging itself. It's mostly genetics that control how much you will wrinkle. What I think OP is saying is that: marketing that makes you think aging is something that needs to be fought off is bad for women's self esteem because nobody can stop themselves from getting to 30, 40, 50, 60 years old and on. OP recommends instead to call things closer to what they really do which is usually moisturize and exfoliate. Powerful exfoliants make the very surface wrinkles a little less distinct bc they're being shed off quicker. It's a nice touch, but it's not gonna stop people from looking older and older as the years go by, nor should we fear such a thing.
