i've looked at customer reviews on many sites and they all turn out to be selling those products--isn't there some kind of consumer report that is totally unbiased or a doctors website....i think we'd all like some REAL TRUE (if thats possible) answers!!!!!

I second the recommendation for Retin-A, quite heartily.

Here (Canada) it's only about CDN$25 for a tube -- cheap, given how long it lasts.

This stuff --

is also pretty good. Note "11x more effective than Strivectin..." Okay, but what _is_ that stuff, save for overpriced goo with an overblown and insulting (in much the same way as the web sites you mention) ad campaign? I don't trust anything that has to hype itself so much.

But. The NeoStrata works well; I've had good luck with all their products.

It is less about the brand and more about the ingredients of what works to reduce fine lines. The three best ingredients in skin care creams avaiable now are:
Vitamin C (topical and internal)
DMAE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMAE
Alpha Lipoic Acid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Lipoic_Acid

The work that Dr. Perricone has done in researching these has opened the door to many clinical skin care lines including these in their products. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Perricone

If you are most concerned about wrinkles, I recommend reading the Wrinkle Cure by Dr. Perricone as it talks about changes to diet, skincare and other lifestyle habits that reduce or reverse wrinkles.

Although you may consider Dr. Perricone research as biased or a just another doctor...his reasearch has been recogonzed industry wide as valid and groundbreaking. You don't have to buy his products...but just googling on these ingredient names will give you TONS of options.

And in terms of whether it works? Well, I have seen HUGE changes in the texture of my skin since using these ingredients for just a few weeks. I did a picture comparison of the fine lines around my eyes from last spring...and there are less now with the ALA eye creme.

No, its all in the genes and staying out of the sun. A little moisterizer, any kind, helps keep it from getting dry...that's after washing your face with a hot wet cloth 2 or3 times a day. Everything else on the market does nothing but smell good.

Yes! I use and Alpha Hydroxy Creme and face wash everyday. I also use a light glycolic facial peel once or twice a week! Real results almost immediately, but they improve with regular use. It's also the only thing that helped with my acne and reducing large pores.

i have heard wonderful things about strivectin sd. not just from advertisements but from website reviews about how good it is for the skin. i really need to get some... as soon as i have some money, because it is kindof expensive.
