The October 2009 issue of Consumer Reports Magazine reports that “test results varied, but each anti-wrinkle skin product tested reduced wrinkle length or depth for at least some people and did nothing for others. A moisturizer with no antiwrinkle claims that was used as a control reduced wrinkles about as well as several high-rated creams did”, the magazine says.
Even among the best-performing products, wrinkle reduction around the eyes was generally pretty subtle. After six weeks of daily use, none came close to eliminating wrinkles. Consumer Reports also claims that price meant nothing in its tests. For example, the priciest cream tested, Perricone MD, $95, was no better than cheaper drugstore brands.

Price predicts nothing. The priciest cream tested, Perricone MD, $95, was no better than cheaper drugstore brands. Pass me the Cetaphil lotion please.
