20 Minute Face Lift |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
The 20-Minute Facelift is advertised to assist women in enhancing their overall beauty by serving as a “skin moisturizer” and “wrinkle reducer.” At the time we write this review, we are unable to find any consumer reactions or online testimonials to support its said benefits. We will discuss this void later in the piece.

| Ingredients at a Glance |
This product contains many ingredients that may be highly effective at enabling people to achieve their appearance goals. These ingredients include: Green Tea Extract, which is known for its “antioxidant” properties; Glycerin, which has shown in some scientific studies to increase the physical endurance of rats; and Vitamin E, believed to strengthen the immune system.
While these ingredients may work quite well, we have some issues and concerns with regard to some potential side effects that may occur as a result of use. We will examine these in the following section.
|
| Ingredients in Focus |
Firstly, this product contains Sodium, which has long been associated with hypertension and heart disease. In addition, it said Glycerin may lead to nausea, while the Vitamin E is said to potentially cause fatigue, weakness, headache and blurred vision and diarrhea for some people who use it. This bothers us, because we believe that people should be able to purchase these types of products without having to worry about possible discomforts that may result.

At the time of this review, we find some consumer responses that appear to support the benefits of the product. However, as we examine more closely, we find that several of them do not actually mention the product’s name. Many motion picture companies and television stations conduct the practice of taking two or three words from a review, and then put them in a context that makes it appear as if they are saying something positive about the movie or television show. We cannot verify as to whether this practice occurred, but we believe we may infer quite reasonably.
From what we have discovered, the most popular of these products contain Collagen, an ingredient that has received much media publicity and consumer praise for its known ability to remove wrinkles. We would guide our readers towards one of those, as they may be better able to enable women to meet their performance needs.
Additionally, we have found that there is a high correlation between consumer praise and media publicity. To be more specific, many of these products that have received kudos from individuals have also been mentioned in nationally distributed media publications. Women may prefer to look at one of these during their search for the “perfect” skin care product.

| Final Thoughts |
The 20-Minute Facelift is marketed to enable women to improve their skin tone, as well as their overall appearance. And it may be able to do just that. However, we have some issues and concerns that we feel need to be addressed.
Our most troubling concern stems from the fact that much of the consumer feedback may not be genuine. In our largely appearance-driven, appearance-obsessed society, products like this have become the standard in the world of beauty. Therefore, we would think that it would be able to garner a vast amount of praise. Since we see none as of this review, we question it. The potential side effects only diminish our confidence further.
Still, it may be able to work effectively for some people who wish to use it. However, there are several products on the market that contain Collagen, come with a large amount of consumer feedback, are supported by media hype and do not carry the potential side effects we note above.

DIANA MORENO: Have been trying to contact by phone, unable to get a live person to speak with. The product for me is very harsh. I WANT TO CANCEL ORDER IMMEDIATELY. My skin broke out with horrible raised blotches. AGAIN, PLEASE CANCEL ANY FUTURE ORDERS TO ME. I AM GOING TO SEND PRODUCT BACK. DO I NEED ANY INSTRUCTIONS TO RETURN THE PRODUCT? Thank you, Diana Moreno -- Clovis, CA
