Buy Wrinkle Creams With Caution

Most wrinkle cream companies claim that their product is the best. Everywhere you look, all you hear about is how the ingredients are second to none, how the before and after photos are legit, and how you should order now! As a consumer of these products, you need to know how to realize what products are just hype, and what products have the potential to really make a change in your life.
As a buyer, how do you search for a wrinkle cream? If you are like me, you go to Google and type in the phrase "buy wrinkle cream," "best wrinkle ream" or even "order wrinkle cream." But, as I do that, I am flooded with advertisements from sites that claim they have found the best wrinkle cream. So, how do we go about weeding out the mularkey and finding the actual best wrinkle cream?

The first thing you need to keep in mind as you make your search queries are what you are attempting to accomplish. If you know your goals, you can essentially back in a product suited to meet your goals. The second thing to keep in mind is what ingredients are proven to work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. For me, I prefer products that include retinol and matrixyl as primary ingredients. Any thing less, and I look for a new cream.

As I sift through the reviews that I come across, I look for ones that are not obvious slants towards one product. Often times people put up blogs as obvious endorsements towards one product that they either work for, are affiliated with, or in some cases, own outright. If you read a blog and it says nothing good about any product other than the one that it rates the "best," you can raise your red flag high in the air and know that you have just read a site that was set up for obvious promotion of one product. Sometimes I read blogs that make me want to puke with how they talk about how "this product was formulated perfectly," and then I read where it was made and see Canada. It just makes me laugh when I read stuff like that. Canada has very relaxed health codes and does not work under supervision of the FDA guidelines. You take a serious risk when you buy anything made outside the USA. One of the best selling weight loss products was just recalled because it was linked to deaths and serious liver damage in multiple people. It was made in Canada, of course. Do your own due diligence. For me, I rest at night knowing that when I buy an American-made product it's by certified professionals who answer to State Health Board investigators.

Some companies make outrageous claims directly on their website and say stuff like "best in the world." According to who? I always laugh when I see stuff like that. If they were to cite a source, it would be more believable. But just saying that on a website is amateur hour marketing. It's much more credible of an endorsement when it comes from an authority site.

Use your best judgment and know that everyone from the company repping the product and even sometimes a loyal base of affiliates are out there filling the internet with garbage. What do I mean by this? Well, in the case of many anti aging creams, they have what is called an affiliate program. Basically, the company that owns the product pays the percentage commission of the sale to people who send traffic for their page. They do whatever they can to make sure someone who reads about a certain product scurries over to the website to "buy now." Sometimes they lie and make up insane stories in the process. I saw one affiliate marketer post on her blog "Oprah is endorsing this product." Then, a rep from the company said that was a lie. Fraud is everywhere, so watch your back.

So how do you go about this? Read reviews. Read many, many reviews.

Some websites are obvious shills as I already touched on. If you see 90% bad reviews for a product, you can safely assume that product is in direct competition with the person who is marketing the site. If you just look for real opinions, which state facts, you can make better decisions. People often load up reviews that power their own product to the top of their site, in order to make it look like everyone is in love with it. I don't care how good your product is, not everyone will post a good review about it. Nothing is perfect.

My advice: be careful, read between the lines, and ask plenty of questions when buying a wrinkle cream.
