I'll assume looking younger, with a non surgical facelift, is important to you! So let me ask you...Are you fed up with paying a fortune for anti wrinkle products that don't work? Well I certainly was!
So I went straight to the Experts to find out about what is the difference and effectiveness between, 'professional' anti aging cosmeceuticals, vs. over the counter products, vs. pharmaceutical anti aging skin care products/treatments. Is there really a difference, or is it all just advertising hype?
Here's what I found from our first Expert... Dr Morley, a highly experienced and reputable Cosmetic Doctor at Emetheni Anti-Ageing & Cosmetic Medicine Clinic, Australia, says his preference is for pharmaceutical skin care products because they are scientifically based medical grade anti aging skin care. These are only available by prescription or through cosmetic doctors because they contain ingredients at a level that is higher than the over the counter competition. More importantly, he says, these products have lengthy scientific studies which back their usage in the medical field and have been proven to show results in clinical trials.
So let's listen to what our next skin care Expert has to say... Caroline Nelson, third generation highly experienced and qualified Esthetician/Beauty Consultant, Australia, recommends the use of anti wrinkle professional skin care 'cosmeceuticals', available through beauty salons/spas, because they have a higher amount of active ingredients than average over the counter products. However, they do not have to prove their claims. Caroline believes that these produce the best results of any home care treatment.
Yes, the dosage of the 'marvel' ingredients used in over the counter anti wrinkle products is minimal compared to what you find in medical grade anti wrinkle products. And because over the counter products are not subject to approval by regulatory authorities, their benefits are not adequately tested in most cases, therefore their claims may be greatly exaggerated.
So there we have it...the difference is...over the counter anti wrinkle skin care products, generally contain small amounts of active ingredients and are typically a surface treatment and not a medical treatment. Having said this, there is always an exception to the rule, so check out the product research first. Cosmeceuticals are the 'middle ground' between a pharmaceutical and a cosmetic but does not have to prove their claims. And a pharmaceutical is a medical grade skin care product composed of medically proven ingredients that are only available through a doctor.
You decide what you want. If you are serious about looking younger with a non surgical face lift, then do it seriously. Try to find companies that offer clinical testing information to help you make the best decision in your search for safe and effective anti wrinkle skin care. It's your skin, so make sure it's well taken care of.
