Free shipping on all orders over $39 Truth Vitality Consumer Reports anti-aging cream test- the TIA take The September 2011 issue of Consumer Reports has a round up of anti-aging wrinkle creams that don’t work. After testing beauty brands that included Aveeno, ROC and L’Oreal, on 79 people for 12 weeks, Consumer Reports pronounced them all failures in the anti-aging department, with Garnier performing “slightly better than the rest”. Talk about a frenzied attack on a straw man. You don’t have to test these anti-aging creams to know that they don’t work, you just have to look at the ingredients. The Consumer Reports Anti-Aging Creams Selection Consumer Reports doesn’t say how it went about selecting the anti-aging wrinkle creams in the test, but what struck me is how similar they are – as well as being uniformly absolutely awful. Some of them are so awful that I hope the testers got danger money. Even the winning Garnier Nutrioniste Ultra Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Moisturizer ($16) is stuffed full of irritants (like triethanolamine, which is frighteningly high up on the ingredients list, toxins (such as octinoxate, a sunscreen active that should not be used by pregnant women) and fillers (eg the stabilizer, polyacryloyldimethyl taurate).
The CVS anti-aging wrinkle cream is so bad, it's almost funny - CVS Firming Anti-wrinkle Moisturizer ($12) seems to have tried to clone the winning Garnier anti-aging cream but perversely left out anything that might remotely make it worth using - which is basically a smidge of argan oil. The only thing that could remotely be considered an active in the CVS is soy protein. I imagine that CVS considers retinyl palmitate to be a positive, but since it has been linked to cancer in sunscreens, I do not. One of the more expensive anti-aging creams to be tested by Consumer Reports was Aveeno Active Naturals Ageless Vitality Elasticity Recharging System ($40). Its much-touted botanicals – blackberry leaf and dill, which are, by the way, the only things worth a tout – make a sadly token appearance at very end of the ingredients list. And its “biomineral concentrate” is just silly – a mix of silicones with zinc and copper powder (not to be confused with copper peptide).
There’s a spot of vitamin E, but otherwise this is basically an over-priced sunscreen and one that might give you cancer rather than prevent it. Several of its sunscreen actives are unstable and oxybenzone is a photocarcinogen, it has demonstrated an increase in the production of harmful free radicals and an ability to attack DNA cells; for this reason, it is believed to be a contributing factor in the recent rise of melanoma cases with sunscreen users. Some studies have shown it to behave similarly to the hormone estrogen, suggesting that it may cause breast cancer. It has also been linked to contact eczema. The most shocking anti-aging cream on the Consumer Reports list is the pricey Lancome Renergie Double Performance Treatment Anti-Wrinkle Firming ($80). The next time anyone says that my Five Best anti-aging serums are expensive, I am going to close my eyes and think of this. It is the world’s most expensive petroleum jelly – the fourth ingredient after highly sought after water and silicone.
What you are ostensibly paying for is hydroxyproline, a component of collagen – however, the body makes its own and a deficiency only happens if you are deficient in vitamin C (source), and anti-inflammatory butcher’s broom. The Rest of the Consumer Reports Anti-Aging Cream Picks For those who aren’t already too depressed, the rest of the anti-aging wrinkle creams in the Consumer Reports test were: Equate (Walmart) Advanced Firming Anti-Wrinkle Face & Neck Cream ($8), L’Oreal Revitalift Face & Neck Day Cream ($17), ROC Multi-Correction 4-Zone Daily Moisturizer ($19).
