Anti-Aging Creams for Skin & Hands!
Reduce Cellulite Creams & Gels
This change may be due to the fact that many societies in recent years has
seen an increased focused on young looks, including in men, and some men report
that they feel it is easier for younger-looking men to get attractive job than
it is for older-looking. Additionally, it has become more socially acceptable
for men to be conscious about their looks.
Anti-aging creams are heavily marketed and advertised on television, with the
promise of looking younger and the reduction in visible wrinkles on the skin.
Traditionally, they have been targeted towards women, but products specifically
targeting men are now common, often sold as part of collections of men's
grooming and skin-care products by major brands like Zirh, Biotherm and many
others.
There are a range of cosmetic 'treatments' for the appearance of wrinkles on the
skin such as plastic surgery and botox injections. One of the marketed
advantages of anti-aging cream is an alternative to these more extreme cosmetic
treatments.
"Let surgery wait" say the numerous L'Oreal "Wrinkle De-Crease" television
adverts. For example, L'Oreal "Wrinkle De-Crease" contains the ingredient
Boswellox. Boswellox is simply an artificial chemical extracted from the
Boswellia (frankincense) plant.
Critics take the view that the manufacturers of these products prey on the fears
of women, and that the advertisements abuse science by claiming that their
products are scientifically proven to work. It is said that the 'scientific
data' is based on the perception of women who have tried the product, and are
asked whether or not they think they look younger. These are the hallmarks of a
placebo.
However, it is plausible that some of the products could have a rejuvenating
effect, as promised. For instance, many anti-wrinkle creams contain some form of
retinol (for instance, in the form of retinyl palmitate) which in various
formulations have been shown to rejuvenate the skin. This is also the case for
alpha hydroxid acids. However, the effects of these compounds likely depends on
their concentration and mode of application, making the effects of the
commercial products less certain.
