Last Autumn we reported on the launch of Dove Spa Strength Within wrinkle pill, the world's first pill to reduce wrinkles. Has it been popular with women trying to battle wrinkles, or has it turned out to be a flop?
Hard to say since the company only sell the pill through their own site and through their centers in the UK, there are absolutely no reviews to be had anywhere on the net. It seems there are no re-sellers of the pill and usually it's the resellers who publish user testimonials. However, Dove Spa have not posted any testimonials on their own website either. Merely a sparse bit of writing about the pill. Actually there is hardly any information about the Strength Within pill to be had anywhere.
We conducted a trial of our own of the pill and to begin with we were very excited with the prospect of our face growing wrinkle free and younger looking from the inside! Unfortunately we were disappointed.
Even after using Dove Spa pills for 14 weeks as advised, we could see no real difference in our skin. In fact nothing actually happened at all.
Taking a look at what's in the product. There are isoflavones from natural soy beans, Vitamin E and A and Lycopene. This is an antioxidant with properties that might help with reducing sensitivity to UV rays. Additionally It's beneficial to the health of your eyes, however there is nothing to link it to wrinkle reduction. Vitamin A and E are very good for your skin, but they don't directly combat your wrinkles. This means they may assist us to make more of the hormone estrogen which in turn might improve skin. Balancing female hormones in the body is crucial for many things of course, but there are lots of natural products around for this purpose already.
Really, the single claim to fame that Dove Spa Strength Within has, is a spot on the BBC last Autumn at the time the product went on the market. Now after nine months of being sold, we can't find any rave reviews, no talk on blogs, nothing.
As we mentioned before in our earlier posts, the idea of a tablet that truly reduces wrinkles and functions from the inside of your body, is an interesting one because it means tackling wrinkles all over the body, not simply facial wrinkles. The Strength Within pill consists of ingredients that certainly can promote health benefits, but reducing wrinkles? We would really like to hear from our followers in the UK if you have used the wrinkle pill and had positive results!

Picking The Best Wrinkle Cream
Picking the best wrinkle cream can be very expensive by the time you've tried and tested loads of types and brands. The truth is that often you will have to test a couple before finding the right one to suit, but if you follow a few simple tips, you will find it easier to discover the right wrinkle cream for your particular skin and age.
Firstly, check out online testimonials by doing a google search for best wrinkle cream reviews. Amazon marketplace is a good place to begin. However you should bear in mind that there are lots of excellent anti aging products that are not available through the popular Internet outlets like Amazon. Plus, even when they are, you shouldn't go by Amazon reviews and nothing else, because although you may not know it, lots of the items marketed there are from individual middle men who are often only selling small amounts. This means that reviews may be scarce, but that is not always an accurate reflection on how well a product is selling. Just the same, it can be useful to check it out providing there are at least 20 reviews.
The price is another indicator when trying to find the best wrinkle cream. It's not realistic to expect very much from a product that is priced at ten dollars. At most you may get a good moisturizer, but you're not likely to see any reduction in wrinkles or any of the other signs of aging. All the same, just because a wrinkle product costs an arm and a leg, does not necessarily mean that it will produce good results. Some creams are priced at over 1000 dollars a jar, but basically, you are paying for a name rather than quality. These top end creams are targeted to the people who have more money than sense and believe that the more they pay, the more exclusive it is. This is only true up to a certain price point and you can find a good quality wrinkle cream for about eighty dollars for a month's worth. Less if you search for special deals or discounts for ordering a few months at once.
The ingredients are vitally important. The best wrinkle cream should contain plenty of the active compounds and less of the useless fluff and cheap stuff that does very little for you. In fact some of the filler used to bulk out wrinkle creams is quite bad for your face and can cause spots, reactions and blocked pores. The ingredients that actually work to reduce your wrinkles and signs of aging are the expensive ones. Hence the reason a lot of products don't work. They don't have enough of the active ingredients in them. This of course explains why cheap creams do nothing. If an anti aging cream is cheap, it's not possible that it will have enough of the compounds that will work on reducing your wrinkles. Try to find ingredients that help your skin to create more collagen and additionally look for compounds that plump your skin, such as DMEA. Avoid products that have a lot of oils because these are bad for blocking your pores and causing spots.
Products that work on the muscles underneath the skin are excellent because they help with sagging. Sagging skin is such a big tell-tale sign of age and is much more difficult to combat than lines and wrinkles. Usually you will have to pay more for something that treats multiple signs of aging in one go. The very best wrinkle cream will help to reduce sagging, wrinkles and age spots as these are the main signs of aging.
Another thing to consider is the eye area. More often than not, creams that work on the facial skin are not suitable for the eye area. This is because our eye skin is more sensitive. The skin is thinner and is more easily damaged. Many creams can be harsh and hence not safe for the eye area. Getting a separate cream for the eyes can really add to the overall price because a good one will set you back around forty dollars. The best option is to find a face product that is also an eye wrinkle cream. There are one or two excellent ones around and whilst they are a bit more costly than the rest, it still works out cheaper than buying two different creams every time.
Summing up. When carrying out your Internet search for the best wrinkle cream, do some searching around for creams with a reasonable amount of user testimonials. You might have to look in a few places to get a good idea about a particular product. Consider paying up to a hundred dollars to get a decent quality wrinkle cream. Investigate the ingredients and make sure you are not paying for oils and fillers. Lastly try and look for one that treats all the signs of aging and is additionally suitable to use around your eyes
