Wrinkle Creams: An Educated Choice

By: Geoff Hopkins

Many people aren't so much worried about growing older as they are with looking older, so the topic of anti-aging skin care and wrinkle cream and other products alleged to prevent the appearance of age is a significant one. The market has thousands of products which claim to promote an appearance of youthfulness, so while the choices are many, the means of picking the best ones is challenging.

The educated consumer takes advantage of product information either in print or online before making a purchase. There are many sources for this information including magazine articles and websites geared toward providing consumer and product reviews. Be aware that not all reporting sources are legitimate and lean towards self-promotion at any cost.

The best sources for unbiased product reviews would be those that are traditionally non-profit in nature and those that do not allow product advertising in their publications or on their websites. They will run tests comparing a variety of anti-aging skin cream products under exacting conditions and judging them by pre-determined criteria including price and effectiveness.

The main drawback of these large and quite trustworthy sources is that only a few of the very many products available claiming to be anti aging skin care will be reviewed in any one report. The consumer may get good information and ideas for a new wrinkle cream to try, but not be able to find the one they currently use to see how it stacks up to other alternatives. Another possible problem is that while the articles are usually very accurate, they may lack more subjective information like how pleasant a cream feels or what the fragrance may be like.

Sometimes the best sources for getting a "real" and practical review of these products are on websites where actual consumers post their personal review of the product. To expedite this you would type in the name of the anti-aging cream you are considering purchasing and the word "review" in any search engine online.

These review sites will be more casual and subjective in their content. Keep in mind the personal biases that might influence the product reviews, as well as the capability and fairness of the reviewer. It is always a good idea to look at multiple reviews from several sources to assist in getting an overall rating.

Websites and magazines that are tailored towards health and beauty topics are a source of review to be considered. They can be extremely helpful and informative, but be conscious of the fact that more often than not they are influenced by the advertising revenue generated by these products and might reflect a view that is not unbiased in nature.

Perhaps the most reliable source of information on anti aging creams is consulting with your friends and co-workers to get their opinions. It is also helpful to get a sample of the product (often free) by contacting the manufacturer or visiting a retail cosmetic counter. By doing this, you can make an informed decision about the product by actually using it, without the financial investment.

Choosing a source for anti aging cream reviews will depend on the style of the person seeking the information as well as their ability to locate information they want. In the end, the only evaluation that matters is that a product works for the consumer and is safe and fairly priced. Internet price comparison services will definitely enhance putting information from reviews to the best use.
