Anti Wrinkle 55 |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Anti Wrinkle 55 is a liquid-based skin toner with a formula advertised as a powerful alternative to BOTOX®. According to the company, the product may have multiple benefits for women seeking an anti-aging product based on simple ingredients. Some of the advertised benefits include reduced appearance of crows feet, wrinkles and sagging eye lids.
Some skincare and cosmetic products may deliver some of their advertised benefits, but individuals may have to put up with some side effects – a few of which may be quite serious. We believe a quality product should be both effective and safe for regular use. We will examine this product closely to find out if it may be nearly as effective as advertised.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
According to the manufacturer, the product’s formula may include some of the following ingredients: Emu Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Omega 3s, Essential Fatty Acids, Allantoin, Deep Tissue Moisture, Argireline, Free Radical Repair and “much more.” The company does not specify what these additional ingredients may be at time of review.
While we are glad to see some basic ingredients, we are concerned about the possibility of some harmful components in the formula. Some companies are known to advertise only the “good” ingredients, while not mentioning some of the risky ingredients. For instance, Methylparaben and Propylparaben, believed to be carcinogenic, are typically included in cosmetic products.

| Ingredients in Focus |
Hyaluronic Acid and Argireline® stand out as the higher-quality ingredients in the formulation, considering they are known to be key components in some of the higher-end anti-aging products on the market. These ingredients may play a key role in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, among other benefits for anti-aging and general skincare.
However, we believe the remaining ingredients may not be as promising as the two aforementioned components. They may moisturize the skin to some extent, but many different value moisturizers on the market may perform similar functions. For women serious about using high-quality products, additional ingredients, like Collagen or Matrixyl 3000®, may be promising.

| Lifestyle |
The manufacturer advises women to apply the cream twice a day by massaging it into the skin, and excess amounts should be wiped off with a towel. The company claims this product is “the absolute strongest natural product to prevent and remove fine lines and wrinkles.” However, we would like to see concrete clinical evidence before buying into such claims.
Clinical studies may be important for those who desire to know that a product has been shown to be effective over and over again when put to the test. Additionally, consumer testimonials may provide a better idea about the potential of any given product. They enable people to weigh in on their experiences with the item. Testimonials may be hard to come by for this product at this time.

| Final Thoughts |
Anti Wrinkle 55 may be advertised as an effective anti-aging product, with claims that “this product has been recommended by plastic surgeons,” among others. However, we feel the company could do a better job of backing up such claims with hard evidence, whether in the form of clinical studies or other official forms of research. We hope studies are made accessible in the near future.
Women who would like to try a product before making a final decision on a product may be disappointed to find out a money-back guarantee is not available for this product at time of review. Some products come with limited guarantees that allow returns as long as the product is not opened; other, higher-quality anti-aging products may be returned even after being opened.
