For decades the debate between scientists and dermatologists has raged on over the actual effectiveness of anti aging, anti wrinkle skin treatment products. No matter what either side said it seemed that many men and women were determined to use them, if for no other reason then they weren't going to submit to the aging process without a fight.
In decades past, for the most part the products that were available made the users “ feel good” and it was for the most part the oils in these products that made for softer skin that can be credited for the “feel good” effect that they had on the user. However; times have changed now due to extensive research and now scientists and research developers have a more fuller understanding of the cause and the biological dynamics of aging, sun damaged skin.
This has led to the development of a whole new genre of skin treatment products that now go below the skins surface to positively effect distresses skin. To be certain, nothing can bring a cell back to life and fine tissue that has been damaged and degraded from aging and sun damage will tend to stay degraded. However; substances have now been discovered and developed that can have the effect of stimulating your skin to in fact “ look younger”.
For instance, after it was determined that crows feet wrinkles around the eyes are caused by a thinning of a substrate skin layer called the dermal epidermal junction, products have been developed that contain substances that can cause a swelling of this thin layer of the skins connective tissue, resulting in shallower and shorter crows feet wrinkles. Do these products repair the dermal epidermal junction? Absolutly not! They do however; return a degraded dermal epidermal junctions original thickness which pushes up and out fine crows feet wrinkles.
