moisturising your skin works - so provided the cream assists in moisturising, then it will work to moisturise!!! However, be ware of the 'hype' that makes moisturisers sound 'special' and are an excuse for overcharging customers - they appeal to adesire to ';stay young for ever';.
Keeping your skin moisturised and out of the harmful rays of the sun is the only way to stop your skin aging quickly. You can NOT reverse aging but you can slow the damage down.
Stay happy, smile and moisturise.Do organic anti- ageing face creams really work. ?
I don't think any of them really work, test after test has shown that at best a topically applied cream will make your skin LOOK smoother and less lined for a while but makes no difference to the structure of your skin.
However, I'm happy to go with the looks better if that's all that can be done. As for organic, the trick is to find a cream that suits your skin (enough moisture without bringing you out in spots) and you like the feel and smell of - I do know that there is no correlation between price and results so my advice would be don't spend a fortune.Do organic anti- ageing face creams really work. ?
i dont get why people want this cream.
everyone ages and its the fact of life. wrinkles and all, people have just gotta appect ageing as life and everyone goes through it. anti ageing creams, to me, are just another way to make money and make the companies rich with ';fake products';
I tried hydroderm, didn't do a thing. Took a bit of doing to get them to stop sending product and stop the charge to my card.
More is to the question does any anti-ageing product work?
Why don't we all grow old gracefully? It is after all natures way. Nobody stays young or lives for ever.
Yeah it does,But not on your face,works great as a tightening agent,a real Godsend for Husbands.
Yeah cow pats are best.

At what age do we have to start using anti-age cream?
I am 25, I don't have wrinkles yet but should I start using an anti age cream? if yes, what's a good affordable one for combination skin?At what age do we have to start using anti-age cream?
Yes, 25 is a great age to start an anti aging regimen. If you are looking for quality products at a bargain, I recommend Oil of Olay, Dove, or Avon Renew products. Also eating a well balanced diet (low in sugar), drinking lots of water, and wearing sunscreen each time you go outside is a must.

Am 25 years old,can I start to use the anti age cream?
start when you likeAm 25 years old,can I start to use the anti age cream?
There's no reason why you can't start using it now. More so if you're an outdoor worker or in an airconditioned office environment all day.
No matter what miracle component they've put in their particular brand all anti-aging potions are mostly 'fluffers' to fill out wrinkles by holding water in the skin tissues.
Most contain oils from sheep wool (lanolin) or glycerine under a variety of names to achieve this. The lanolin is the really active ingredient for keeping skin smooth and soft.
Try to get one with a sun blocker added.Am 25 years old,can I start to use the anti age cream?
yes you can, but you probably don't need it until you're at least 27. for now, it may be just as efficient to use regular cream/lotion, which is usually cheaper than anti-ageing creams.
Yes you can. It is advisable that you start using anti aging products earlier to prohibit the skin from aging or dryness.
I see no reason why you can't. Seek one that suits your skin.
I don't think you should you're still young. And, I have heard that if you use anti-aging products when you're young it'll actually make you look older.
well do they have a cream for 25 years old - then you can
if you start now your aging Will be reversed , by the time you are 51 you will look like 101 : Logic
if you feel you need to then go for it...
im 26 and i use a Q10 moisteriser... its meant to help prevent wrinkles (not that i have any yet!! i just dont want them!)
Of course. You can start using it whenever you want.
25 year old and using that already? if you're a smoker or you drink then that's what's made you look older
Sure, you can. I don't see why not.
might as well get a head start
yes, in fact i started using them when i was 18.. it's good stuff! :D
Why - you're still really young.
Why not? Who's business is it but yours, anyway?

What is the best Anti-Aging Cream for late for 28 year old??
I am 28 and have alot of stress which I know will make me grow old more quickly if I don't take care of myself!! I started noticing very fine lines laugh lines and some lines under my eyes which is depressing :( I looked up some anti-aging products, but they all have testimonials from women in 40-60s. What are excellent products for women in their late 20's where you can really start preventing wrinkles and fine lines??? I don't care if the products are expensive, as long as someone can testify they work!!What is the best Anti-Aging Cream for late for 28 year old??
I started using Anti-aging formula's from Artisty*, is the best thing I have seen, you can check it out for your self at
www.quixtar.com
I am 31 at the age of 30 I started noticing fine lines around my eyes and some laugh lines, not anymore. Now I can tell everyone I'm 25 and they can believe it. You should feel privalaged I never tell anyone how old I really am. Hope it helps!What is the best Anti-Aging Cream for late for 28 year old??
I don't know if you've ever heard of Artistry or not (you may have seen ads in Oprah magazine or Vogue) well anyway they have a whole line of Time Defiance products that are incredible. I use them and so does my mom and grandma. Anyway they have a time defiance system which is a cleanser, toner, and daytime and nigthtime creme or lotion depending on your skin type. It's designed for women 25 years and older and it actually prevents wrinkles and fine lines like you had mentioned. The cool thing about Artistry unlike some other skin care companies is that they have a 100% money back guarentee on all of their stuff so if it doesnt' do exactly what they say or you just aren't happy with it you can get all of your money back even if you used the whole system. Now Artistry is in the top 5 prestige brands of skin care and cosmetics right up there with Lancome and Estee Lauder however they are much more competitively priced and in my opinion have much better quality. I can testify that they work as well as a bunch of my friends and family. In fact it worked much better than we even thought it could. I would say just get it and try it and if for whatever reason you wouldn't like it just get your money back. You can go to http://www.adrennan.qhealthbeauty.com and just put Time Defiance in the search box and all of their stuff should come up. This way you can read all the info on anything you might be interested in and even buy it if you decide it is. I hope this helped :)eyeshadow

Is ';Monet'; a good anti aging cream?
Hi. I have been using monet anti aging cream and monet eye surem for about one month and i really like it. It seems to making my skin much clearer and fresher looking but i wanted to find out how it rated with other people. I have looked on google but haven't found it to be in any top ten. Its not a cheap cream though it isn't the dearest either. Has anybody got a honest and genuine opinion on monet? Is it as good as it seems? I have found a few different sites on the top ten best anti wrinkle creams but have found them to differ dramactically. Plus they all seem to be very expensive. Monet is about 拢49.95 for the face cream and 拢39.95 for the eye serum . but i buy mine from ebay so i don't spend that much.
Any Opinions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Ann xIs ';Monet'; a good anti aging cream?
Two thumbs up for 'Monet' from me as well, though I also use Olay when I'm in the mood.
Anti-ageing for me is a holistic necessity, so I'm picky about my cream as I am about my guide. The former helps me look younger while the latter makes me feel fitter. One thing supports another.
EDIT:
The fitness site relates to the complementary things I do as part of my anti-aging regimen. Like I said, I tend to see anti-aging from a holistic perspective -- so the cream is as important as the supportive treatments. Frankly, the best way to test an anti-aging cream is to use it once yourself. I've used both Monet and Olay and have found them quite effective (I'm pushing 40, so I should know). It really doesn't matter if others endorse it or not -- It works for me (as it does for you) and that's good enough.
Anyways, I've added another site about an anti-aging technique focused on facial toning (natural facelift) and hope you find this useful.
These are ALL the things I myself use so I believe others could benefit from it as well.

Can I use anti-aging cream with Benzamycin?
I used to use Benzamycin for mild acne, but I stopped because it was making my skin really dry. I'm almost 25, and have been using some anti-aging night creams to help prevent wrinkles and keep my skin healthy. The ones I've used contain retinol or salicylic %26amp; glycolic acid, vitamins, etc. and helped clear my skin. However, lately I have been breaking out and am thinking of going back to the Benzamycin. I only used the Benzamycin at night, and I'm wondering if I could use some sort of anti-aging cream on top of it at night. Has anyone done that? Has anyone used it as a spot-treatment instead of all over the face?Can I use anti-aging cream with Benzamycin?

I'm 24 and have oily/combination skin....What would be the best anti aging lotion/cream to use on my face?
Bath and Body Works carries anti-aging products by world-renowned dermatologist Patricia Wexler. She uses MMPi technology, which basically kills skin-destroying enzymes (MMP's) that cause fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, etc. She recently came out with a line for oily/acne-prone skin. I have combination skin and I use the foaming cleanser, glyco peel, regenerating serum (which does most of the work (it has an extra kick of MMPi)), and oil-free hydrator. It's done wonders for my skin!I'm 24 and have oily/combination skin....What would be the best anti aging lotion/cream to use on my face?
Garnier Daily Moisturizer or Aveeno Daily Moisturizer...they are not greasy and they do not clog your pores. The real trick is to make sure the first ingredient is water, not lanolin, which is not good for oily skin.I'm 24 and have oily/combination skin....What would be the best anti aging lotion/cream to use on my face?
Olay Regenerating serum.
You might try a light moisturizer with anti-oxidants in it, such as Vitamin A, C, E. I like Peter Thomas Roth's products. Not sure where you live, but if there is a Sephora nearby, you can get it there.
I use Erno Laszlo antioxidant with sunscreen. It's very light, oil free and doesn't make my skin break out. I also have the same skin as you. I wouldn't use anything else.

Does anti-aging cream cause breakouts?
ok guys i know i'm too young to be using anti-aging cream (i'm in my early 20's) but i got really paranoid one day and thought ';it's never too early to start preventing wrinkles'; haha. so i bought some anti-aging cream at the drugstore! this was like, a month ago. before i started using the stuff i never used to have bad breakouts. but like, two days after i started using it, i started getting really bad breakouts.. specifically around the chin area. i stopped using it after about a week.. but the breakouts still have not gone away!! could the cream have severely irritated my skin? and how to i get the breakouts to stop??? i have never had this problem! anyone have any ideas? (specifically anyone who is older and has ';skin'; experience...?)
thanks!Does anti-aging cream cause breakouts?
Jip, it most definitely cause break outs when you are too young for it! It is WAY too rich for your skin, (older skin is much drier than younger skin)
It will only block up your pores and create blackheads and pimples. Go back to a skincare range for your age, and use a good sunblock every day. Best wrinkle prevention you can get!Does anti-aging cream cause breakouts?
It really depends upon the ingredients of the cream you are using to get rid of your aging lines. My favorite in this line is Zenmed's Scars and hyperpigmentation skin treatment kit. It's the most effective skin treatment kit for scars, dark spots, aging lines that I have used.
I would also offer you my discount code ';zen4less'; in case you wish to buy from them.eyeshadow

I'm 17 and I use anti-ageing face cream as part of my daily routine, as its obviously easier/better to prevent now rather than fix later!
I heard from a few people that using anti-ageing creams at a young age can damage the skin and actually cause wrinkles sooner (the girls that told me this said their dermatologist told them this!)
I personally can't see how an anti-ageing cream would be strong enough to cause wrinkles sooner or any other skin problems..but maybe I'm wrong if professionals apparently told those girls otherwise!
what do u think?
xCan Anti-Ageing Creams Damage Young Skin?
I heard that the skin becomes dependent on them or something like that. Like too needy for the strong ingredients in them. The most important anti-ageing ingredient for you is SPF of at least 15 or 20. IWIWSH SOMEBODY HAD TOLD ME THAT WHEN I WAS 17. Im only 24 now and im half black but still the sun has damaged my skin and made me look older by the time i was 20 actually. Can Anti-Ageing Creams Damage Young Skin?
From what I heard, It will dry out your skin soon and sometimes, it creates pimples.

Boots protect and perfect beauty serum
Anything from Aveeno. It's made from natural ingrediants and your skin is so soft from it.
I'm not completely sure. I heard from a friend 7 Signs of ageing is meant to be good. Also using a moisturiser that protects your skin from the UV rays can help slow down the signs of ageing.
Creme de la Mer.
Hard earned sweat. You don't have to grow old with time. Stay in shape.

i work for a wellness based skin care company and get this question every day. You need a mild exfoliate, we have one made with rice paste, you use it 2 times a week. I smooths out fine lines and gives skin a firmer look It also helps fade surface sun damage and age spots. We also carry a firming face cream called Youthtopia, which contains Rodiola, a plant extract,. Visit your local Origins and go in for a free mini facial to get a feel for the product.

healthy lifestyle not cream. Good sleep,diet and keep stress down. Smile a lot.
Apparently, Loreal is a dud and doesnt even work.
Garnier is good, and so is Nivea.
Hi well there is actually 4 products you can use and you if you use them all together then they all work even better, plus it all depends on how old you are as well.
If you are in your 30-40's I would recommend you
Avons Anew Clinical Eye Lift, for dark tired and hooded eyes, apply twice a day the getl goes on the eyelid and the cream goes on the under eye area upper cheek bone and crows feel area,see link below
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
Avons Anew Clinial Therematherm, also know as face life in a bottle, for loose lifeless sagging skin, apply morning and night as a moisturiser. Tighter firming skin in 3 days see link below
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
If sagging skin is not your case and its more of wrinkle and your not yet in your 50's etc, then I would recommend
Avons Anew Deep crease concentrate with bohylurox
for expression lines and crows feet, you apply to these areas before applying your moisturiser, see link below
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
The follow after the above product with Avons Anew Advance Wrinkle Corrector, Helps to reverse the look of deep wrinkles you use this every evening see link below
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
These all above are proven to work, but if however you have advance signs of ageing 50+ then these are what alot of customers swear bye and see an improvment from first use and it keeps working the more you use it. Seel Below
Avons Anew Ultimate for the advance signs of aging.
Anew Ultimate Elixier, highly concentrated youth cream you use it before you day moisturiser and before the night cream.Makes the products extra strenght for best results
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
Avon Anew Ultimate Repair Day SPF 25, Helps restore the look of skin lost youth and help prevent the fatigue factor in mature skin, you use this on its own or after the elixier see below
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
Avon Anew Ultimate Repair Night, Stimulates the production of youth protine for firmer looking skin, Use as a night moisutriser, also can be used alone or with the elixier see below
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
Anew Ultimate Eye Contouring System, Intensive eye recontouring eye cream for use day and night, around the entire eyes, and concentrated elixier for night use under eyes
http://avonshop.co.uk/shop/product.asp?s鈥?/a>
So I recommend all of the above and crossing my fingers you will find something that will work for you. the Avons Ultimate Range for the advance signs of age really does do what it says and you can always request a sample if you have an avon rep. These products are over look when they shouldnt be over look as these are the ones that work, and are a resonable price considering what makes out there like OLAY Loreal, and Garnier, charge and they are not worth the money, My mum uses these and she has really see the results and will never go back to ordinary anti age or anti wrinkle creams from the shops as they just are a waste of money.
So these do WORKS, its just trying them to see for yourself.

No, the secret is loads of water, veg and fruit. And I swear, lemon and honey drink every morningAnti-ageing creams?
Most of them work quite well, most people don`t believe I`m 55.
I use and love Arbonne. Definitely go with Arbonne's NutriMinC Re9 anti-aging skin care system. Arbonne's products are proprietary formulas which means that no one can copy them.

I don't think any of these creams and potions work at all, the best think for younger looking skin is plenty of fresh water and food, exercise at a rate that is suitable for your age, a healthy happy outlook on life and if you deal with the inside the outside will play along.....
A wonderful attitude to life is the answer..Be happy and you will be radiant....

Best anti-aging cream for eyes? I'm 18 and want to PREVENT aging/wrinkles.?
I'm 18 years old and do not have any wrinkles, however I do get bags under my eyes from lack of sleep sometimes. I don't go outside (it's not really my lifestyle) so i don't have to worry about the sun. I also run(indoors) on a regular basis and I am Vegan. I would like to keep beautiful skin for as long as possible and prevent aging.
So, I am looking for an anti-aging cream and any other tips for keeping my face (especially around the eyes) wrinkle-free. And maybe something for bags under the eyes.. It would be nice if it could make your face glowing and healthy looking too as my face gets dull sometimes..

Anti-aging cream for a 19 year old, whats the best one? Please read..?
So you see all these creams off the shelf that say anti-aging.
When you read them, they are NOT ant-aging, but target fine lines and deep wrinkles, that are ALREADY THERE on older women.
I wouldn't call that an anti-aging cream lol.
What are some antiaging creams that younger people can use, and it will prevent you from later geting wrikles and such. Something that will keep your face looking 25 when your 35.
I was going to go with clinique but im not sure?
What do you guys think?Anti-aging cream for a 19 year old, whats the best one? Please read..?
I understand your concern that most of the anti aging product out there are for people who already have wrinkles or fine lines.
But 1st of all, you need to understand what causes aging.
There are 2 types of aging:
One is Chronological aging. We age as we grow older, it's a genetic factor that we cannot change.
Another type of aging is called photoaging which refers to the damage that is done to skin from harsh environment. For example, UV ray is skin's #1 enemy. Photoaging is something preventable, however, if we don't take care of skin properly, photoaging can lead to chronological aging which will become permanent.
In order to prevent photoaging, the 1st thing you need to pay attention to is UV ray.
I would recommend you to invest into a strong sunscreen lotion.
Check out Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Sunscreen SPF 55,
it acts as a powerful shield to protect skin from UV damage which can cause burning, reddening and signs of aging
http://www.marketamerica.com/lcbeauty/pr鈥?/a>
Most importantly, it helps protect both UVA and UVB.
UVA penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB and plays a major part in skin aging and wrinkly.
UVB gives your skin sunburn, tanning effect, can cause skin cancer, etc.
Free radicals generates from the harsh environment, such as pollution, food that we eat, UV rays, etc. also help age our skin.
So invest into good antioxidant treatment is a good way in aging prevention.
In additions, our skin collagen decreases 1% each year after the age of 25. A reduction in collagen will lead to lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. So you are never too early for a good skincare regimen.
I would recommend Cellular Laboratories庐 Rebirth Serum
http://www.marketamerica.com/lcbeauty/sk鈥?/a>
It contains powerful antioxidants to help strengthen skin defense against free radicals
It diminishes the effects of UV damage on skin
鈥⒙營t contains Bio-engineered HGH (human growth hormone) helps minimize the visible signs of aging of the skin. HGH is delivered through encapsulated nano-lipsomes to promote skin penetration. HGH reduces the appearance of line and wrinkles and promotes cellular vitality.
I understand your concern that most of the anti aging product out there are for people who already have wrinkles or fine lines. But it's never too early to replenish HGH or collagen for your skin to make it remain smooth and soft looking. I am not sure how other product works in the market, but the Cellular Laboratories lines are for both treatment and prevention.Anti-aging cream for a 19 year old, whats the best one? Please read..?
As long as you're cleansing and routinely using a quality moisturizer, you're right on track. There's a commercial out right now (I believe the brand name is Biore) that advertises a line of products for in between skin. I'm 21 and I cleanse and moisturize in the mornings and evenings. Taking care of your skin is a good preventative measure. I don't worry about finding a cream for my age group. I use what I like and I love every moisturizer I've ever tried from Lancome. They're expensive, but it's worth it to me.
The best things to use for anti-aging is to where sunscreen. Although, it might not be sunny in December or January, protection year round keeps skin with less wrinkles. The more sun damage you get gives you more of a chance to get wrinkles. A homemade remedy for anti-aging cream is this recipe.
Anti-Aging Cream
Combine 1 ounce glycerin, 1 ounce witch hazel, 陆 ounce rose water, 3 tbsp. honey, and 3 tbsp. wheat germ oil. Massage the cream into your skin using a circular and upward motion. Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. It should last for at least 1 month.
In actuality, that would be anti-aging....Oil of olay has historically been based on that foundation since day one. I grew up using the 'old' Oil of Olay. Now, I use the Regenerist Line. I am 38, but look 25. So, you go figure............
To regain your eternal beauty and to get back your youth, go with the anti aging skin care supplements. Anti aging cosmetic products can dramatically improve your look by nourishing you from inside. And that is a natural procedure. No need to go for a painful surgery. Anti aging skin care products can drastically change the way you look and can make you feel young. You can challenge the aging process with anti aging skin care medicines that provide life to your dry or oily skin. You can really stall the aging process for a few more years with anti aging skin care treatments and enjoy the excitements of youthful life. Try to select anti aging products that will alleviate your rough and dry skin and provide sufficient hydration. Make sure that your anti aging skin products get promptly absorbed into your skin and produce immediate results. Check out whether your anti aging product is hypoallergenic and non-photo toxic. Be careful about damaging your skin instead of repairing it.
Anti aging supplements will rectify the health of your internal system as well as take proper care of your sensitive and wrinkle prone skin. Anti-aging skin care cosmetics usually contain active anti aging components that support the skin鈥檚 natural ability to remove free radicals, age spots, and chemical toxins that obstruct healthy skin, and improve your skin agility and elasticity. A good quality anti aging product can reduce skin drooping and wrinkling. Anti aging skin care supplements works in complete harmony with the body, supplying and balancing the necessary anti aging dietary requirements thus making your skin glow and look young for a long period of time.
I have made the most comprehensive research on the subject of anti aging skin care products. You can find more info %26amp; results only on this site below:
http://www.revitol.com/site/revitol_comp鈥?/a>
Sunscreen. Really. Most aging problems you see are from sun damage. Wear a sunscreen (SPF 30 is a good idea, but it's hard to find sometimes) everyday in your moisturizer.
If you really want to go hardcore on your skin (which you don't need, because you're young!), you can get a retinol (in prescriptions only) or retinoid (a lower dose, found in a lot of drugstore brands, you don't need a prescription for it). Retin-A Micro is used for acne, but it's also good for smoothing out your skin and it's used as an anti-aging product. It can be hard on your skin, though. But using it for anti-aging- like any anti-aging product- won't do you much good for many years.
When you read them, they are NOT ant-aging, but target fine lines and deep wrinkles, that are ALREADY THERE on older women.

To regain your eternal beauty and to get back your youth, go with the anti aging skin care supplements. Anti aging cosmetic products can dramatically improve your look by nourishing you from inside. And that is a natural procedure. No need to go for a painful surgery. Anti aging skin care products can drastically change the way you look and can make you feel young. You can challenge the aging process with anti aging skin care medicines that provide life to your dry or oily skin. You can really stall the aging process for a few more years with anti aging skin care treatments and enjoy the excitements of youthful life. Try to select anti aging products that will alleviate your rough and dry skin and provide sufficient hydration. Make sure that your anti aging skin products get promptly absorbed into your skin and produce immediate results. Check out whether your anti aging product is hypoallergenic and non-photo toxic. Be careful about damaging your skin instead of repairing it.
Anti aging supplements will rectify the health of your internal system as well as take proper care of your sensitive and wrinkle prone skin. Anti-aging skin care cosmetics usually contain active anti aging components that support the skin鈥檚 natural ability to remove free radicals, age spots, and chemical toxins that obstruct healthy skin, and improve your skin agility and elasticity. A good quality anti aging product can reduce skin drooping and wrinkling. Anti aging skin care supplements works in complete harmony with the body, supplying and balancing the necessary anti aging dietary requirements thus making your skin glow and look young for a long period of time.
I have made the most comprehensive research on the subject of anti aging skin care products. You can find more info %26amp; results only on this site below:

Sunscreen. Really. Most aging problems you see are from sun damage. Wear a sunscreen (SPF 30 is a good idea, but it's hard to find sometimes) everyday in your moisturizer.
If you really want to go hardcore on your skin (which you don't need, because you're young!), you can get a retinol (in prescriptions only) or retinoid (a lower dose, found in a lot of drugstore brands, you don't need a prescription for it). Retin-A Micro is used for acne, but it's also good for smoothing out your skin and it's used as an anti-aging product. It can be hard on your skin, though. But using it for anti-aging- like any anti-aging product- won't do you much good for many years.

Open to other suggestions on products.Olay, Roc, or Loriel as an anti aging cream!?
There is no such thing as an ';anti-aging'; cream. The best way to keep wrinkles at bay and have a glowing complexion is the following:
1. wash and exfoliate face %26amp; neck twice a day (skin care isn't always comfortable!)
2. Use toner
3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
4. Use sunscreen EVERY DAY, even if you think you will be staying inside or it is cloudy. Be sure to use sunscreen on your hands, as well, because they age the quickest due to sun exposure.
5. Once a week or so, use a microdermabrasion kit (it doesn't have to be expensive!)
6. If you are so inclined, an AHA peel is a great way to remove the outer layers of skin.
Good luck, and remember, you are never too young to start! It is a good idea to get children involved in their skin care at an early age, so that they will have the chance for healthy skin for life.

Anti aging cream ?
im only fifteen but i really want to prevent myself from aging when im older, my sister who is nineteen already has wrinkles, if i use a night cream will that work or am i still to young, anything you may recommend? Anti aging cream ?
heavy or ';dramatic'; anti aging or anti wrinkle treatments are made for older women, so these will most likely be too much for your young skin and make you greasy or cause you to break out. try using regular moisturizer and an anti aging SERUM, which is more appropriate for younger skinAnti aging cream ?
I'm 15 and already have wrinkles on my forehead haha. I use Neutrogena Healthy Skin spf 15 or Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti Wrinkle. Both of them are great for prevention of wrinkles and after a while,it gives your skin a healthy glow. They're both around $15 each and the generic brand should be around $10.
And if you don't care about price, choose La Mer. I only use it during fall and winter since it's a very heavy cream and everyone needs extra moisturizing for their skin during fall/winter.
$120... ouch haha. [try ebay lol]
No, you should go ahead and use it, that way you'll look great when you're older.
I like Olay Regenerist. I also use Vaseline, I know several older women who use it and all of them have amazing skin. I thing moisturized skin is the key, keep the skin moisturized and it will look good in years.eyeshadow

Anti-aging cream products.?
I am 30, have kind of a baby face, and as much as I love my age, I'm not ready to show it yet.
I can only spend $20, maybe $30 on creams. I know eventually I won't be able to hide my age and forever prevent wrinkles. I do use sunblock.
I was wondering, which creams you used, and which truly worked, and which were gimmicks. I was thinking maybe trying Roc, Oil of Oly, Ponds, stuff you find in any drug store, the one from Susan Lucci you now see in Walgreens... Also, does microbraison really work? Peals?
Thanks a bunch!Anti-aging cream products.?
Oil of Olay regenerist is great! im only 21, but it still does miricles on my skin.Anti-aging cream products.?
I'm 27 and i been using this vitamin E cream since i was like 15 and it's wonderful and cheap. no one believes i'm over 21. also i wear sunblock daily..rain or shine. i drink lots of water...sodas ever nowe and then. I also take vitamins daily and vitamins will do wonders for your skin alone. i hope this was of some sort of help....and keep up the babyface!
You can try L'OREAL REVITALIFT... My cousin has used this product for 1 month and now her skin better than before...Look fresh, more supple and firmer. She's 34. And I agree with you for use sunblock. It's really a must...

Skin Care Supplements - Anti Ageing
http://www.askaquery.com/question/Skin-C鈥?/a>
it may damage your young skin, because anti-ageing cream usually contains 'serious' ingredient for mature skin..
better don't...just use mild mosturiser, which formulated for teens, just to keep your skin soft and well-mosturised....
=%26gt;
They have harsh chemicals in them which would do more harm to your supple skin than good. . What you should follow is a cleansing toning and moisturizing regime and the sue of sunscreen. Drinks lots of water too.
Leave the anti aging cream for when the wrinkles come on.
I heard it could damage young skin
Honestly at 15, using a anti aging creme would not offer any results to you. At 15 your skin isn't suffering from aging and the cream was created for older women who are seeing wrinkles, age spots, and so on. All of those a 15 year old wouldn't have.
However, a caution to any one who uses any anti aging cream. They have linked the main ingredient in 90% of the creams on the market to cancer. The ingredient linked to this cancer is hydroquinone. So with this, I would warn you not to use anti aging products at all especially at your age. Enjoy your skin now and don't do anything to put it in jeopardy.
nothing bad would happen. In fact, it would prolly be good for your skin. alot of those creams have vitamins and antioxidants which are good at any age. you don't need anything that is firming, though. you can wait a few years for that.
If you are only fifteen why would you want to waste your money on crap like that?!?!?
If you are that obsessed with your looks and aging I suggest that you save that money for plastic surgery in a few years!
You are probably a beautiful young woman, who unfortuatly has bought into the hype our society has put on kids today.
If it really freaks you out that bad I suggest that you moisturize now.
That is all you really need a 15, just find a good oil-free moisturizer, and use that daily!
Prevention is the best medicine!
At fifteen years of age,male or female,one is the target of multiple questionable advertisements. I wonder if this is the real source of your curiosity. Having recently worked for a cosmetic research lab I would caution anyone attemping any new cosmetic product to look at proven results. There are many label types for dermal products out there: ';revitalizing,'; ';moisturizing,'; ';rejuvenating';; however the basis that these labels are founded upon are often backed by minimal or false clinical trials. There should be a sufficient level of Tocopheryl acetate but not exceeding the amount that is indicated by the cosmetic ingredient review board. Age is not the only factor to the drying of the skin, among others are over exposure to the sun,excessive washing of the body's natural skin oils, and excessive drying such as by a blow dryer or intense light. Your hairstyle also has alot to do with how much pressure is put on your pores. There are a number of products out there that have remained untested here's evidence:
CITIZEN PETITION TO CEASE UNLAWFUL SALE OF MISBRANDED %26amp; ADULTERATED COSMETICS
To secure the safety of the millions of consumers who use personal care products in their daily lives, Environmental Working Group (EWG) petitions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take immediate action to cease the unlawful distribution of misbranded, adulterated and unlabeled cosmetics. American consumers rely upon the Food and Drug Administration for protection from exposure to unsafe food, drug and cosmetic products. Armed with the authority of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD%26amp;CA), the FDA is charged with the duty of ensuring the safety of cosmetic products available to consumers. Based on an in-depth investigation of over 10,000 personal care product ingredients, Environmental Working Group has identified serious probable safety violations of the FD%26amp;CA by cosmetics manufacturers and retailers, and submits this petition seeking the following enforcement actions by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs:
1. Institute a voluntary recall or court-ordered injunction or seizure for cosmetics containing ingredients that have not been proven safe through scientific testing that do not bear appropriate warnings, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45 ;
2. Clarify the requirements for adequate substantiation of safety, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 371(a), 21 C.F.R. 搂 740.10(a);
3. Establish a requirement that manufacturers remove from cosmetic products any ingredient that contains any toxic impurity or that may combine with other ingredients to form harmful impurities, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 371(a);
4. Initiate a voluntary recall or court-ordered injunction or seizure for cosmetics containing ingredients that may cause injury through ordinary use, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45;
5. Publicly command all Internet vendors to display a conspicuous list of ingredients of cosmetic products sold on their websites, subject to injunction or seizure, pursuant to 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.3, 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 375, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 336; and
6. Conduct an investigation of products containing chemical ingredients prioritized according to prevalence and toxicity, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 372, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 374.
COSMETICS SAFETY CONCERNS CONFRONT MILLIONS ON A DAILY BASIS
Americans are exposed to 126 different cosmetic chemicals daily. Cosmetics use, which supports this $35 billion industry, poses serious safety concerns for a broad cross-section of the population. A cosmetic is defined in the FD%26amp;CA as an article, or component thereof, which is ';intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance.'; See 21 U.S.C.A. 321 (I). EWG conducted a survey of 2,300 people, which shows that the average adult uses 9 cosmetic products each day, with 126 unique chemical ingredients. See Environmental Working Group, Skin Deep (June 7, 2004), http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep (hereinafter ';Skin Deep';)(attached as Exhibit E). More than a quarter of all women and one of every 100 men use at least 15 cosmetic products daily. See id. Despite this population-wide exposure to cosmetic chemicals, the existing law governing cosmetics has cast a disturbingly narrow safety net.
89% of the 10,500 personal care product ingredients remain untested. Of the 7,500 products that EWG analyzed, just 28 have been fully assessed for safety by the cosmetic industry's review panel. All other products - 99.6 percent of those examined - contain one or more ingredients that have never undergone a public safety review. See Skin Deep. According to FDA's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, ';a cosmetic manufacturer may use almost any raw material as a cosmetic ingredient and market the product without an approval from FDA.'; FDA Diethalonomine and Cosmetic Products. Office of Cosmetics and Colors Fact Sheet, 1999, http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-dea.html (visited May 6, 2004).
A self-regulating industry panel is the only existing safety screen for cosmetics. Because the FDA lacks authority to require pre-market safety assessments of cosmetics, the responsibility for ingredients safety review rests largely in the hands of the cosmetic industry's self-regulating panel, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). No other independent authority exists that is charged with the review of cosmetic safety. Manufacturers may conduct their own testing, but this testing is not required to be made public or to be reported to the FDA.
The CIR was established in 1976 as a joint effort between the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA), the FDA and the Consumer Federation of America (CFA). FDA sits on the panel as a non-voting member along with the other two founding organizations. See CIR website, http://www.cir-safety.org (visited May 18, 2004). Voting members are nominated by the three non-voting founding organizations, and are selected from the medical and scientific community. See id. In analyzing a particular ingredient, CIR will conduct a review of scientific literature, provide for public comment, conduct public discussions of the panel's findings, and issue a final report in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. See id. The panel may direct industry to conduct studies or release unpublished data if existing scientific literature on the safety of ingredients is insufficient. See id. While CIR findings are not binding on FDA, FDA has historically relied upon CIR's conclusions in making cosmetic safety rulings. See, e.g. Alpha Hydroxy Acid Guidance, 67 FR 71577.
In light of these safety considerations, it is of the utmost importance that FDA exercise its authority to the fullest extent possible to preserve the safety of American consumers.
EWG INVESTIGATION REVEALS ACTIONABLE VIOLATIONS OF FDA SAFETY LAWS
EWG has conducted an investigation of more than 10,000 personal care product ingredients, which has revealed serious violations of FDA's consumer safety standards. EWG's analysis compares ingredients in 7,500 personal care products against lists of known and suspected chemical health hazards produced by government agencies such as the FDA, EPA and CDC, industry organizations such as the Cosmetics Industry Review Panel (CIR), and academics published in peer-reviewed journals. Through this process, serious violations of the FD%26amp;CA have been brought to our attention:
1. EWG has identified 356 cosmetic products containing ingredients that may not have been proven safe, and fail to bear the required warning. See Exhibit A. These products may be misbranded and subject to voluntary recall, injunction or seizure. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45.
2. EWG has discovered 20 cosmetic products containing ingredients that may cause harm when used according to package directions. See Exhibit B. These products may be adulterated and subject to voluntary recall, injunction or seizure. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 375, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 336, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.3(b).
3. EWG has visited 41 websites offering cosmetic products for sale without conspicuously listing the ingredients. See Exhibit C. These websites may be selling misbranded products in violation of labeling requirements, and should be publicly notified of the violation and warned of potential injunction or seizure in the event of continued noncompliance. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 375, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 336, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.3, 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2.
4. EWG has developed a list of 9 toxic cosmetic ingredients, which are widely used and pose a serious threat of injury. See Exhibit D. Products containing these ingredients may be misbranded or adulterated, and are subject to FDA inspection, safety review, and enforcement action where warranted. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 372, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 374, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362.
FACTUAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT FOR ACTION REQUESTED
1. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Institute Recall, Injunction or Seizure Proceedings for Cosmetics That Have Not Been Proven Safe.
EWG has identified 356 cosmetic products which may not have not been adequately substantiated for safety and do not bear the required warning. For all of the products listed in Exhibit A, the CIR has formally concluded that at least one component ingredient has insufficient testing data to support the ingredients' safe use in cosmetics. See Exhibit A. According to the FD%26amp;CA, a product is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading or if:
any word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of this Act to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices, in the labeling) and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.
21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362(a), (c). The implementing regulations require the placement of a warning label on cosmetic products for which adequate substantiation of safety has not been obtained. See 21 C.F.R. 740.10(a). The regulation provides as follows:
Each ingredient used in a cosmetic product and each finished cosmetic product shall be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing. Any such ingredient or product whose safety is not adequately substantiated prior to marketing is misbranded unless it contains the following conspicuous statement on the principal display panel:
Warning -- The safety of this product has not been determined.
Id. None of the 356 cosmetic products that EWG identified bear the warning required by the FDA regulations. As such, these products may be misbranded, and should be removed from the marketplace until they are either proven safe, repackaged according to FD%26amp;CA standards or reformulated.
The Commissioner of Food and Drugs has the authority to institute recall, injunction or seizure proceedings to prosecute violations of the prohibition against misbranding. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. In the case of a recall, the Commissioner may request a cosmetic firm to initiate a recall if a product presents a risk of illness, injury or gross consumer deception, and a recall is necessary to protect the public health and welfare. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. Cosmetics with ingredients that are inadequately substantiated for safety clearly meet this standard. As to risk of illness or injury, the fact that the CIR found that there is not sufficient data to show that the chemicals are safe for cosmetic use shows that there is potential for illness or injury to the consumer. In terms of consumer deception, FDA's labeling requirement creates a reasonable basis for a consumer to believe that the absence of a label indicates that no ingredients with unproven safety are present in a given cosmetic product. Thus, where the industry's own review panel has determined that the cosmetics are not sufficiently tested to meet this standard, the consumer has been misled by the absence of the label. An injunction may be sought to restrain any violation of the Act. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332. An injunction is appropriate because the 356 products that EWG has identified fail to include the required warning. A seizure may be sought when a misbranded cosmetic has entered into interstate commerce. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334. Seizure would be proper because all of the products identified by EWG are available for sale either on the Internet or in stores throughout the United States.
The only way to prevent the risk of injury, illness or consumer deception is to prohibit the continued distribution of misbranded products until the cosmetic firms either prove the safety of the ingredients, include the required warning label, or reformulate the product to remove all ingredients which have not been proven safe for use in cosmetics. EWG therefore requests that the Commissioner institute recall, injunction or seizure proceedings for the cosmetics detailed in Exhibit A.
2. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Clarify the Requirements for Adequate Substantiation of Safety for the Purposes of the Labeling Provision in 21 C.F.R. 搂 740.10(a).
FDA's current regulations do not sufficiently explain requirements for substantiating the safety of cosmetics. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 740.10(a). The FDA has ';broad statutory authority to protect the public health by 'making such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of the (Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act) of 1938, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 301 et seq. (1976)).''; See Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association v. Food and Drug Administration, 634 F.2d 106, 108 (D. Del. 1980) quoting Mourning v. Family Publications Service, Inc., 411 U.S. 356, 369 (1973), see also 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 371(a). While the FDA regulations require that each ingredient used in a cosmetic product and each finished cosmetic product shall be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing, no specific details are included to explain the meaning of the phrase ';adequately substantiated for safety.'; The Act and its implementing regulations are completely silent on the definition of the phrase as well as the terms ';substantiated'; and ';safety,'; as they apply to cosmetics.
The safety net cast by the government's oversight of cosmetics is disturbingly narrow. FDA's want of authority to require pre-market safety review makes cosmetics the least regulated industry under the agency's protection. For instance, in regulating pesticides in food, the FDA defines ';safety'; as ';reasonable certainty of no harm from aggregate exposures ... including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information,'; and calls for an assessment of safety for vulnerable populations such as infants and children. 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 346 (b)(2)(A)(ii) %26amp; (b)(2)(C). In the cosmetics regulations, FDA has provided no guidance on the meaning of the term ';safety.'; From a health perspective, there is no logical reason why cosmetics shouldn't meet the same standard as food.
The average adult uses nine cosmetic products each day, and many of these products are formulated with penetration enhancers that increase the delivery of component chemicals to the bloodstream. Furthermore, the industry safety review panel has identified potential hazardous impurities for about one of every ten ingredients assessed. See Cosmetics Ingredient Review, 2003 (hereinafter ';CIR 2003';). Of the four product concerns for which FDA explicitly requests direct contact from imported cosmetic inspectors, three are related to harmful impurities in the products. See Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Cosmetics Compliance Program-Imported Cosmetics Program, December 8, 2000, at Chapter 29-Cosmetics and Color Technology, http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/
~comm/cp29002.html (visited May 12, 2004) (hereinafter ';CFSAN 2000';).
While the cosmetics industry has created a self-regulating ingredient review panel, the marketplace still includes thousands of cosmetic ingredients that have never undergone a public safety review. How can a regulatory agency continue to allow such a serious breach of safety to persist?
FDA must clarify the meaning of its requirement that ingredients and finished products be ';adequately substantiated for safety'; to ensure the safety of cosmetics and the consumers who use them. EWG has investigated 7,500 products, not one of which bears a warning stating: ';the safety of this product has not been determined.'; Only 28 of these 7,500 products have been fully reviewed for safety by CIR or FDA; all other products contain at least one ingredient not assessed for safety. The CIR did conduct a review of the ingredients in the 356 likely misbranded products identified by EWG, but none of these products bore the appropriate label either. These incongruities are cause for concern.
The efficacy of FDA's regulatory scheme must be revisited. Without a clear standard, FDA's enforcement and cosmetic industry's compliance efforts are undermined. Most significantly, the lack of a definitive safety standard leaves consumers without a basis for confidence in the safety of the overwhelming majority of cosmetic products. Under the current standard, a cosmetic firm could conduct unreliable tests, or even no tests at all, and still place an unsafe product on drugstore shelves without having to include a warning label or face FDA enforcement. The effect of this safety gap is that consumers will be exposed to untested chemicals that can cause serious harm, such as reproductive abnormalities or cancer. Consumers should not have to bear the burden of the government's poorly defined safety scheme.
It is imperative that FDA exercise its authority to ensure that such an unjust burden is not placed on consumers, and clarify its cosmetic safety standard to offer the greatest possible consumer protection. EWG proposes that FDA define ';adequately substantiated for safety'; as follows:
Substantiation, through peer-reviewed scientific publications or publicly available industry studies, of a reasonable certainty of no harm from aggregate exposures to the product and its component ingredients including impurities, taking into account chemicals that may increase penetration of the product or its component chemicals through the skin, and including all anticipated cosmetic exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information, taking into consideration vulnerable populations such as infants and pregnant women.
Any finding of safety for a cosmetic product must explicitly account for risks posed by impurities until such time as impurities are removed from the component ingredients or the product is reformulated in such a way as to preclude the formation of impurities by the component ingredients in the product.
Anything less will be a disservice to the millions of Americans who rely upon the FDA to ensure the safety of cosmetic products available on the marketplace.
3. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Establish a Requirement that Manufacturers Remove from Cosmetic Products any Ingredient that Contains any Toxic Impurity or that May Combine with Other Ingredients to Form Harmful Impurities.
At least 146 cosmetic ingredients have potentially hazardous impurities linked to cancer and other serious health impacts, but the FDA has not articulated any firm safety standards limiting such impurities in cosmetic products. See CIR 2003, CFSAN 2000, see also Office of Cosmetics and Colors, Prohibited Ingredients and Related Safety Issues, March 30 2000, http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-210.html (visited May 12, 2004) (hereinafter ';CFSAN 2000a';), see also Faust and Casserly, Petrolatum and Regulatory Requirements, NPRA International Lubricants %26amp; Waxes Meeting, November 13-14, 2003, Houston, TX, www.penreco.com/newsevents/tradearticles鈥?NPRA2003_Pet_Regulations.pdf (visited May 17, 2004) (hereinafter ';Faust and Casserly';), and see The Scientific Committee on Cosmetic and Non-Food-Products, Opinion concerning a clarification on the formaldehyde and para-formaldehyde entry in Directive 76/768/EEC on cosmetic products, SCCNFP/587/02 (December 17, 2002) (hereinafter ';SCCNFP';), and see EU directive on classification and labeling of dangerous substances, Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex 1, Chemical compendium at http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/chemicals
/legislation/markrestr/cmrlist.pdf (hereinafter ';EU 2002';). The Commissioner has the authority to issue safety standards under the FD%26amp;CA. See Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association v. Food and Drug Administration, 634 F.2d 106, 108 (D. Del. 1980) quoting Mourning v. Family Publications Service, Inc., 411 U.S. 356, 369 (1973), see also 21 U.S.C.A. 陇 371(a). Government and industry sources reveal 24 industrial chemicals or groups of chemicals identified as potential impurities in a wide range of products, with health concerns spanning cancer, neurotoxicity, and reproductive problems. See CIR 2003, CFSAN 2000 %26amp; 2000a, Faust and Casserly, SCCNFP, and EU 2002. The FDA issued a recommendation to manufacturers to voluntarily remove a carcinogenic impurity, nitrosamines, from products in 1996. See Food and Drug Administration, Are nitrosamines in cosmetics a health hazard?, Office of Cosmetics and Colors, November 1996, http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/qa-cos25.html (visited May 6, 2004). EWG proposes that FDA adopt a similar standard for all hazardous impurities:
Remove from cosmetic products any ingredient that contains any toxic impurity or that may combine with other ingredients to form harmful impurities.
FDA's regulation of these hazardous impurities will limit consumers' risk of cancer and other avoidable harm from cosmetic products.
4. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Initiate Recall, Injunction or Seizure Proceedings for Cosmetics Containing Ingredients that May Cause Injury During Ordinary Use.
EWG has discovered 20 cosmetic products containing ingredients that may cause harm when used according to package directions. See Exhibit B. The FD%26amp;CA prohibits the distribution of cosmetics that ';contain[] any ... deleterious substance which may render it injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling thereof, or under conditions of use that are customary or usual[.]'; 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361(a). For every product listed in Exhibit B, the CIR found that a component ingredient is not safe for the specific use indicated on the product's package directions. Four of these products are baby products containing ingredients that the CIR determined should not be used on infant skin. These products, mostly baby skin creams and diaper rash ointments, contain directions such as ';apply ointment liberally ... with each diaper change'; and claims such as ';especially effective as a ... barrier for Baby's diapered area.'; See Exhibit B. Thirteen of these products are acne or rash treatments, which include chemicals that the CIR has found should not be used on damaged or injured skin. See id. Two are face creams that include chemicals that CIR found should not be used in leave-on cosmetic products. See id. One is an ';overnight blemish reducer'; containing a chemical that the CIR determined should not contact the skin. Id. The instructions on this product say ';cover blemishes ... once daily'; and ';[l]eave on overnight[.]'; Id. All of these products appear to be in violation of the FD%26amp;CA, and are adulterated according to Section 361 of the Act. See 21 U.S.C.A. 361(a).
The Commissioner of Food and Drugs has the authority to institute recall, injunction or seizure proceedings to prosecute violations of the prohibition against adulterated cosmetics. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. Cosmetics with ingredients that are unsafe for the uses indicated in the package direction meet the prerequisites for a recall as well. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. As to risk of illness or injury, the fact that the CIR found that the chemicals are not safe for the marketed use proves that there is potential for illness or injury to the consumer. In terms of consumer deception, the package directions make it reasonable for a consumer to believe that the product is safe to use as directed. Thus, where the industry's own review panel has determined that a component ingredient is not safe to use in that application, the consumer has been misled into the unsafe use of a cosmetic product. In this instance, an injunction is appropriate because the 20 products that EWG has identified include ingredients that may be harmful when used according to the package directions. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332. Seizure would also be proper because all of the products identified by EWG are available for sale either on the Internet or in stores throughout the United States. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334.
The only way to prevent the risk of injury, illness or consumer deception is to prohibit the continued distribution of these adulterated products until the cosmetic firms either prove the safety of their products or reformulate the products to remove all unsafe ingredients. EWG therefore requests that the Commissioner institute injunction, seizure or recall proceedings for the cosmetics detailed in Exhibit B.
5. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Command Internet Vendors to Display a Conspicuous List of Ingredients for Cosmetic Products Sold on Their Websites.
EWG has identified 41 websites currently selling cosmetics without displaying the ingredients, in violation of FDA ingredient listing requirements. See Exhibit C. Cosmetics produced or distributed for retail sale to consumers for their personal care must include an ingredient declaration. See 21 CFR 搂 701.3. The ingredient declaration must be conspicuous so that it is likely to be read at the time of purchase. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2. All label statements required by regulation must be placed on the label or labeling with such prominence and conspicuousness that they are readily noticed and understood by consumers under customary conditions of purchase. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2. For all of the websites listed in Exhibit C, cosmetics are offered for sale, but a listing of ingredients is not available on the website. Thus, these websites are selling cosmetics without providing a declaration of ingredients conspicuously displayed as required by FDA regulations. Under normal conditions of Internet purchase, without an on-screen display of ingredients, a consumer would have to purchase the product without having seen the required list of ingredients. This violates FDA labeling regulations, and constitutes misbranding. A product is misbranded if it fails to include required information in such a way that is likely to be understood under customary conditions of purchase. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362. Thus, these websites are violating FDA regulations and appear to be selling misbranded cosmetics.
EWG requests that the Commissioner publicly instruct all cosmetic websites to display the required declaration of ingredients, subject to injunction or seizure. The FDA has the power to seek injunction or seizure, as well as the power to issue a public notice or warning to address matters that involve gross consumer deception or FD%26amp;CA violations. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂搂 336, 362, and 375, 21 C.F.R. 搂搂 701.2-701.3. The failure to provide a list of ingredients denies consumers the right to know what is in the products they are purchasing. This constitutes a violation of FDA standards as well as consumer deception. The FDA should exercise its authority to ensure that consumers have equal access to cosmetic labels both in stores and on the Internet. The regulations apply equally to all products, and Internet cosmetic vendors should be required to comply accordingly. EWG requests that FDA publicly command Internet vendors to display the required ingredient declaration on all cosmetic products, subject to further prosecution by the Commissioner in the case of continued noncompliance.
6. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Conduct an Investigation of Products Containing Toxic Chemical Ingredients, Prioritized According to Prevalence and Toxicity.
EWG has identified 9 common cosmetic ingredients, which are known to pose health hazards [See Exhibit D]. Seven of these ingredients have not been studied by FDA or CIR. FDA has the authority to conduct investigations of cosmetic chemicals, and has done so in the past for prevalent ingredients, such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. See 21 U.S.C. 搂 372, see also Alpha Hydroxy Acid Guidance, 67 FR 71577. EWG has identified ingredients which pose serious health risks, including cancer, reproductive toxicity, skin toxicity, and endocrine disruption. These toxic ingredients can be found in at least 1,950 cosmetic products. See Exhibit D. These products may be misbranded or adulterated according to FDA regulations. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂搂 361-362.
In order to determine whether or not to take further action to remove these products from the market, EWG requests that FDA utilize its authority and investigate these 9 priority chemicals to determine their safety for use in cosmetics.

Exhibit A-E
You might turn into a fetus.... if any of it actually worked.
While you don't need anything with harsh chemicals everyone should moisturize at night after cleansing. At 15 you could just use a good all purpose moisturizer. Brands like Ponds or Dove should have some that are reasonably priced. If it's in your budget Clinique, which is sold in department stores like Macy's, makes a moisture lotion that is gentle and good for all skin types.
anti-aging cream probaly wouldn't be the best..but you can start using a vitamin E cream on your face. also remember to always wear sun screen when your out doors (rain or shine) wash all makeup off before bed and drink lots of water and you will have beautiful skin forever.Anti-Aging cream?
Skin Care Supplements - Anti Ageing
http://www.askaquery.com/question/Skin-C鈥?/a>
it may damage your young skin, because anti-ageing cream usually contains 'serious' ingredient for mature skin..
better don't...just use mild mosturiser, which formulated for teens, just to keep your skin soft and well-mosturised....
=%26gt;
They have harsh chemicals in them which would do more harm to your supple skin than good. . What you should follow is a cleansing toning and moisturizing regime and the sue of sunscreen. Drinks lots of water too.
Leave the anti aging cream for when the wrinkles come on.
I heard it could damage young skin
Honestly at 15, using a anti aging creme would not offer any results to you. At 15 your skin isn't suffering from aging and the cream was created for older women who are seeing wrinkles, age spots, and so on. All of those a 15 year old wouldn't have.
However, a caution to any one who uses any anti aging cream. They have linked the main ingredient in 90% of the creams on the market to cancer. The ingredient linked to this cancer is hydroquinone. So with this, I would warn you not to use anti aging products at all especially at your age. Enjoy your skin now and don't do anything to put it in jeopardy.
nothing bad would happen. In fact, it would prolly be good for your skin. alot of those creams have vitamins and antioxidants which are good at any age. you don't need anything that is firming, though. you can wait a few years for that.
If you are only fifteen why would you want to waste your money on crap like that?!?!?
If you are that obsessed with your looks and aging I suggest that you save that money for plastic surgery in a few years!
You are probably a beautiful young woman, who unfortuatly has bought into the hype our society has put on kids today.
If it really freaks you out that bad I suggest that you moisturize now.
That is all you really need a 15, just find a good oil-free moisturizer, and use that daily!
Prevention is the best medicine!
At fifteen years of age,male or female,one is the target of multiple questionable advertisements. I wonder if this is the real source of your curiosity. Having recently worked for a cosmetic research lab I would caution anyone attemping any new cosmetic product to look at proven results. There are many label types for dermal products out there: ';revitalizing,'; ';moisturizing,'; ';rejuvenating';; however the basis that these labels are founded upon are often backed by minimal or false clinical trials. There should be a sufficient level of Tocopheryl acetate but not exceeding the amount that is indicated by the cosmetic ingredient review board. Age is not the only factor to the drying of the skin, among others are over exposure to the sun,excessive washing of the body's natural skin oils, and excessive drying such as by a blow dryer or intense light. Your hairstyle also has alot to do with how much pressure is put on your pores. There are a number of products out there that have remained untested here's evidence:
CITIZEN PETITION TO CEASE UNLAWFUL SALE OF MISBRANDED %26amp; ADULTERATED COSMETICS
To secure the safety of the millions of consumers who use personal care products in their daily lives, Environmental Working Group (EWG) petitions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take immediate action to cease the unlawful distribution of misbranded, adulterated and unlabeled cosmetics. American consumers rely upon the Food and Drug Administration for protection from exposure to unsafe food, drug and cosmetic products. Armed with the authority of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD%26amp;CA), the FDA is charged with the duty of ensuring the safety of cosmetic products available to consumers. Based on an in-depth investigation of over 10,000 personal care product ingredients, Environmental Working Group has identified serious probable safety violations of the FD%26amp;CA by cosmetics manufacturers and retailers, and submits this petition seeking the following enforcement actions by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs:
1. Institute a voluntary recall or court-ordered injunction or seizure for cosmetics containing ingredients that have not been proven safe through scientific testing that do not bear appropriate warnings, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45 ;
2. Clarify the requirements for adequate substantiation of safety, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 371(a), 21 C.F.R. 搂 740.10(a);
3. Establish a requirement that manufacturers remove from cosmetic products any ingredient that contains any toxic impurity or that may combine with other ingredients to form harmful impurities, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 371(a);
4. Initiate a voluntary recall or court-ordered injunction or seizure for cosmetics containing ingredients that may cause injury through ordinary use, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45;
5. Publicly command all Internet vendors to display a conspicuous list of ingredients of cosmetic products sold on their websites, subject to injunction or seizure, pursuant to 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.3, 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 375, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 336; and
6. Conduct an investigation of products containing chemical ingredients prioritized according to prevalence and toxicity, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 372, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 374.
COSMETICS SAFETY CONCERNS CONFRONT MILLIONS ON A DAILY BASIS
Americans are exposed to 126 different cosmetic chemicals daily. Cosmetics use, which supports this $35 billion industry, poses serious safety concerns for a broad cross-section of the population. A cosmetic is defined in the FD%26amp;CA as an article, or component thereof, which is ';intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance.'; See 21 U.S.C.A. 321 (I). EWG conducted a survey of 2,300 people, which shows that the average adult uses 9 cosmetic products each day, with 126 unique chemical ingredients. See Environmental Working Group, Skin Deep (June 7, 2004), http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep (hereinafter ';Skin Deep';)(attached as Exhibit E). More than a quarter of all women and one of every 100 men use at least 15 cosmetic products daily. See id. Despite this population-wide exposure to cosmetic chemicals, the existing law governing cosmetics has cast a disturbingly narrow safety net.
89% of the 10,500 personal care product ingredients remain untested. Of the 7,500 products that EWG analyzed, just 28 have been fully assessed for safety by the cosmetic industry's review panel. All other products - 99.6 percent of those examined - contain one or more ingredients that have never undergone a public safety review. See Skin Deep. According to FDA's Office of Cosmetics and Colors, ';a cosmetic manufacturer may use almost any raw material as a cosmetic ingredient and market the product without an approval from FDA.'; FDA Diethalonomine and Cosmetic Products. Office of Cosmetics and Colors Fact Sheet, 1999, http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-dea.html (visited May 6, 2004).
A self-regulating industry panel is the only existing safety screen for cosmetics. Because the FDA lacks authority to require pre-market safety assessments of cosmetics, the responsibility for ingredients safety review rests largely in the hands of the cosmetic industry's self-regulating panel, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR). No other independent authority exists that is charged with the review of cosmetic safety. Manufacturers may conduct their own testing, but this testing is not required to be made public or to be reported to the FDA.
The CIR was established in 1976 as a joint effort between the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA), the FDA and the Consumer Federation of America (CFA). FDA sits on the panel as a non-voting member along with the other two founding organizations. See CIR website, http://www.cir-safety.org (visited May 18, 2004). Voting members are nominated by the three non-voting founding organizations, and are selected from the medical and scientific community. See id. In analyzing a particular ingredient, CIR will conduct a review of scientific literature, provide for public comment, conduct public discussions of the panel's findings, and issue a final report in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. See id. The panel may direct industry to conduct studies or release unpublished data if existing scientific literature on the safety of ingredients is insufficient. See id. While CIR findings are not binding on FDA, FDA has historically relied upon CIR's conclusions in making cosmetic safety rulings. See, e.g. Alpha Hydroxy Acid Guidance, 67 FR 71577.
In light of these safety considerations, it is of the utmost importance that FDA exercise its authority to the fullest extent possible to preserve the safety of American consumers.
EWG INVESTIGATION REVEALS ACTIONABLE VIOLATIONS OF FDA SAFETY LAWS
EWG has conducted an investigation of more than 10,000 personal care product ingredients, which has revealed serious violations of FDA's consumer safety standards. EWG's analysis compares ingredients in 7,500 personal care products against lists of known and suspected chemical health hazards produced by government agencies such as the FDA, EPA and CDC, industry organizations such as the Cosmetics Industry Review Panel (CIR), and academics published in peer-reviewed journals. Through this process, serious violations of the FD%26amp;CA have been brought to our attention:
1. EWG has identified 356 cosmetic products containing ingredients that may not have been proven safe, and fail to bear the required warning. See Exhibit A. These products may be misbranded and subject to voluntary recall, injunction or seizure. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45.
2. EWG has discovered 20 cosmetic products containing ingredients that may cause harm when used according to package directions. See Exhibit B. These products may be adulterated and subject to voluntary recall, injunction or seizure. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 375, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 336, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.3(b).
3. EWG has visited 41 websites offering cosmetic products for sale without conspicuously listing the ingredients. See Exhibit C. These websites may be selling misbranded products in violation of labeling requirements, and should be publicly notified of the violation and warned of potential injunction or seizure in the event of continued noncompliance. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 375, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 336, and 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.3, 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2.
4. EWG has developed a list of 9 toxic cosmetic ingredients, which are widely used and pose a serious threat of injury. See Exhibit D. Products containing these ingredients may be misbranded or adulterated, and are subject to FDA inspection, safety review, and enforcement action where warranted. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 372, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 374, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361, and 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362.
FACTUAL AND LEGAL SUPPORT FOR ACTION REQUESTED
1. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Institute Recall, Injunction or Seizure Proceedings for Cosmetics That Have Not Been Proven Safe.
EWG has identified 356 cosmetic products which may not have not been adequately substantiated for safety and do not bear the required warning. For all of the products listed in Exhibit A, the CIR has formally concluded that at least one component ingredient has insufficient testing data to support the ingredients' safe use in cosmetics. See Exhibit A. According to the FD%26amp;CA, a product is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading or if:
any word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of this Act to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness (as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices, in the labeling) and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use.
21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362(a), (c). The implementing regulations require the placement of a warning label on cosmetic products for which adequate substantiation of safety has not been obtained. See 21 C.F.R. 740.10(a). The regulation provides as follows:
Each ingredient used in a cosmetic product and each finished cosmetic product shall be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing. Any such ingredient or product whose safety is not adequately substantiated prior to marketing is misbranded unless it contains the following conspicuous statement on the principal display panel:
Warning -- The safety of this product has not been determined.
Id. None of the 356 cosmetic products that EWG identified bear the warning required by the FDA regulations. As such, these products may be misbranded, and should be removed from the marketplace until they are either proven safe, repackaged according to FD%26amp;CA standards or reformulated.
The Commissioner of Food and Drugs has the authority to institute recall, injunction or seizure proceedings to prosecute violations of the prohibition against misbranding. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. In the case of a recall, the Commissioner may request a cosmetic firm to initiate a recall if a product presents a risk of illness, injury or gross consumer deception, and a recall is necessary to protect the public health and welfare. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. Cosmetics with ingredients that are inadequately substantiated for safety clearly meet this standard. As to risk of illness or injury, the fact that the CIR found that there is not sufficient data to show that the chemicals are safe for cosmetic use shows that there is potential for illness or injury to the consumer. In terms of consumer deception, FDA's labeling requirement creates a reasonable basis for a consumer to believe that the absence of a label indicates that no ingredients with unproven safety are present in a given cosmetic product. Thus, where the industry's own review panel has determined that the cosmetics are not sufficiently tested to meet this standard, the consumer has been misled by the absence of the label. An injunction may be sought to restrain any violation of the Act. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332. An injunction is appropriate because the 356 products that EWG has identified fail to include the required warning. A seizure may be sought when a misbranded cosmetic has entered into interstate commerce. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334. Seizure would be proper because all of the products identified by EWG are available for sale either on the Internet or in stores throughout the United States.
The only way to prevent the risk of injury, illness or consumer deception is to prohibit the continued distribution of misbranded products until the cosmetic firms either prove the safety of the ingredients, include the required warning label, or reformulate the product to remove all ingredients which have not been proven safe for use in cosmetics. EWG therefore requests that the Commissioner institute recall, injunction or seizure proceedings for the cosmetics detailed in Exhibit A.
2. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Clarify the Requirements for Adequate Substantiation of Safety for the Purposes of the Labeling Provision in 21 C.F.R. 搂 740.10(a).
FDA's current regulations do not sufficiently explain requirements for substantiating the safety of cosmetics. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 740.10(a). The FDA has ';broad statutory authority to protect the public health by 'making such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of the (Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act) of 1938, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 301 et seq. (1976)).''; See Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association v. Food and Drug Administration, 634 F.2d 106, 108 (D. Del. 1980) quoting Mourning v. Family Publications Service, Inc., 411 U.S. 356, 369 (1973), see also 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 371(a). While the FDA regulations require that each ingredient used in a cosmetic product and each finished cosmetic product shall be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing, no specific details are included to explain the meaning of the phrase ';adequately substantiated for safety.'; The Act and its implementing regulations are completely silent on the definition of the phrase as well as the terms ';substantiated'; and ';safety,'; as they apply to cosmetics.
The safety net cast by the government's oversight of cosmetics is disturbingly narrow. FDA's want of authority to require pre-market safety review makes cosmetics the least regulated industry under the agency's protection. For instance, in regulating pesticides in food, the FDA defines ';safety'; as ';reasonable certainty of no harm from aggregate exposures ... including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information,'; and calls for an assessment of safety for vulnerable populations such as infants and children. 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 346 (b)(2)(A)(ii) %26amp; (b)(2)(C). In the cosmetics regulations, FDA has provided no guidance on the meaning of the term ';safety.'; From a health perspective, there is no logical reason why cosmetics shouldn't meet the same standard as food.
The average adult uses nine cosmetic products each day, and many of these products are formulated with penetration enhancers that increase the delivery of component chemicals to the bloodstream. Furthermore, the industry safety review panel has identified potential hazardous impurities for about one of every ten ingredients assessed. See Cosmetics Ingredient Review, 2003 (hereinafter ';CIR 2003';). Of the four product concerns for which FDA explicitly requests direct contact from imported cosmetic inspectors, three are related to harmful impurities in the products. See Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Cosmetics Compliance Program-Imported Cosmetics Program, December 8, 2000, at Chapter 29-Cosmetics and Color Technology, http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/
~comm/cp29002.html (visited May 12, 2004) (hereinafter ';CFSAN 2000';).
While the cosmetics industry has created a self-regulating ingredient review panel, the marketplace still includes thousands of cosmetic ingredients that have never undergone a public safety review. How can a regulatory agency continue to allow such a serious breach of safety to persist?
FDA must clarify the meaning of its requirement that ingredients and finished products be ';adequately substantiated for safety'; to ensure the safety of cosmetics and the consumers who use them. EWG has investigated 7,500 products, not one of which bears a warning stating: ';the safety of this product has not been determined.'; Only 28 of these 7,500 products have been fully reviewed for safety by CIR or FDA; all other products contain at least one ingredient not assessed for safety. The CIR did conduct a review of the ingredients in the 356 likely misbranded products identified by EWG, but none of these products bore the appropriate label either. These incongruities are cause for concern.
The efficacy of FDA's regulatory scheme must be revisited. Without a clear standard, FDA's enforcement and cosmetic industry's compliance efforts are undermined. Most significantly, the lack of a definitive safety standard leaves consumers without a basis for confidence in the safety of the overwhelming majority of cosmetic products. Under the current standard, a cosmetic firm could conduct unreliable tests, or even no tests at all, and still place an unsafe product on drugstore shelves without having to include a warning label or face FDA enforcement. The effect of this safety gap is that consumers will be exposed to untested chemicals that can cause serious harm, such as reproductive abnormalities or cancer. Consumers should not have to bear the burden of the government's poorly defined safety scheme.
It is imperative that FDA exercise its authority to ensure that such an unjust burden is not placed on consumers, and clarify its cosmetic safety standard to offer the greatest possible consumer protection. EWG proposes that FDA define ';adequately substantiated for safety'; as follows:
Substantiation, through peer-reviewed scientific publications or publicly available industry studies, of a reasonable certainty of no harm from aggregate exposures to the product and its component ingredients including impurities, taking into account chemicals that may increase penetration of the product or its component chemicals through the skin, and including all anticipated cosmetic exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information, taking into consideration vulnerable populations such as infants and pregnant women.
Any finding of safety for a cosmetic product must explicitly account for risks posed by impurities until such time as impurities are removed from the component ingredients or the product is reformulated in such a way as to preclude the formation of impurities by the component ingredients in the product.
Anything less will be a disservice to the millions of Americans who rely upon the FDA to ensure the safety of cosmetic products available on the marketplace.
3. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Establish a Requirement that Manufacturers Remove from Cosmetic Products any Ingredient that Contains any Toxic Impurity or that May Combine with Other Ingredients to Form Harmful Impurities.
At least 146 cosmetic ingredients have potentially hazardous impurities linked to cancer and other serious health impacts, but the FDA has not articulated any firm safety standards limiting such impurities in cosmetic products. See CIR 2003, CFSAN 2000, see also Office of Cosmetics and Colors, Prohibited Ingredients and Related Safety Issues, March 30 2000, http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-210.html (visited May 12, 2004) (hereinafter ';CFSAN 2000a';), see also Faust and Casserly, Petrolatum and Regulatory Requirements, NPRA International Lubricants %26amp; Waxes Meeting, November 13-14, 2003, Houston, TX, www.penreco.com/newsevents/tradearticles鈥?NPRA2003_Pet_Regulations.pdf (visited May 17, 2004) (hereinafter ';Faust and Casserly';), and see The Scientific Committee on Cosmetic and Non-Food-Products, Opinion concerning a clarification on the formaldehyde and para-formaldehyde entry in Directive 76/768/EEC on cosmetic products, SCCNFP/587/02 (December 17, 2002) (hereinafter ';SCCNFP';), and see EU directive on classification and labeling of dangerous substances, Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex 1, Chemical compendium at http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/chemicals
/legislation/markrestr/cmrlist.pdf (hereinafter ';EU 2002';). The Commissioner has the authority to issue safety standards under the FD%26amp;CA. See Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association v. Food and Drug Administration, 634 F.2d 106, 108 (D. Del. 1980) quoting Mourning v. Family Publications Service, Inc., 411 U.S. 356, 369 (1973), see also 21 U.S.C.A. 陇 371(a). Government and industry sources reveal 24 industrial chemicals or groups of chemicals identified as potential impurities in a wide range of products, with health concerns spanning cancer, neurotoxicity, and reproductive problems. See CIR 2003, CFSAN 2000 %26amp; 2000a, Faust and Casserly, SCCNFP, and EU 2002. The FDA issued a recommendation to manufacturers to voluntarily remove a carcinogenic impurity, nitrosamines, from products in 1996. See Food and Drug Administration, Are nitrosamines in cosmetics a health hazard?, Office of Cosmetics and Colors, November 1996, http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/qa-cos25.html (visited May 6, 2004). EWG proposes that FDA adopt a similar standard for all hazardous impurities:
Remove from cosmetic products any ingredient that contains any toxic impurity or that may combine with other ingredients to form harmful impurities.
FDA's regulation of these hazardous impurities will limit consumers' risk of cancer and other avoidable harm from cosmetic products.
4. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Initiate Recall, Injunction or Seizure Proceedings for Cosmetics Containing Ingredients that May Cause Injury During Ordinary Use.
EWG has discovered 20 cosmetic products containing ingredients that may cause harm when used according to package directions. See Exhibit B. The FD%26amp;CA prohibits the distribution of cosmetics that ';contain[] any ... deleterious substance which may render it injurious to users under the conditions of use prescribed in the labeling thereof, or under conditions of use that are customary or usual[.]'; 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 361(a). For every product listed in Exhibit B, the CIR found that a component ingredient is not safe for the specific use indicated on the product's package directions. Four of these products are baby products containing ingredients that the CIR determined should not be used on infant skin. These products, mostly baby skin creams and diaper rash ointments, contain directions such as ';apply ointment liberally ... with each diaper change'; and claims such as ';especially effective as a ... barrier for Baby's diapered area.'; See Exhibit B. Thirteen of these products are acne or rash treatments, which include chemicals that the CIR has found should not be used on damaged or injured skin. See id. Two are face creams that include chemicals that CIR found should not be used in leave-on cosmetic products. See id. One is an ';overnight blemish reducer'; containing a chemical that the CIR determined should not contact the skin. Id. The instructions on this product say ';cover blemishes ... once daily'; and ';[l]eave on overnight[.]'; Id. All of these products appear to be in violation of the FD%26amp;CA, and are adulterated according to Section 361 of the Act. See 21 U.S.C.A. 361(a).
The Commissioner of Food and Drugs has the authority to institute recall, injunction or seizure proceedings to prosecute violations of the prohibition against adulterated cosmetics. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332, 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. Cosmetics with ingredients that are unsafe for the uses indicated in the package direction meet the prerequisites for a recall as well. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.40, 21 C.F.R. 搂 7.45. As to risk of illness or injury, the fact that the CIR found that the chemicals are not safe for the marketed use proves that there is potential for illness or injury to the consumer. In terms of consumer deception, the package directions make it reasonable for a consumer to believe that the product is safe to use as directed. Thus, where the industry's own review panel has determined that a component ingredient is not safe to use in that application, the consumer has been misled into the unsafe use of a cosmetic product. In this instance, an injunction is appropriate because the 20 products that EWG has identified include ingredients that may be harmful when used according to the package directions. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 332. Seizure would also be proper because all of the products identified by EWG are available for sale either on the Internet or in stores throughout the United States. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 334.
The only way to prevent the risk of injury, illness or consumer deception is to prohibit the continued distribution of these adulterated products until the cosmetic firms either prove the safety of their products or reformulate the products to remove all unsafe ingredients. EWG therefore requests that the Commissioner institute injunction, seizure or recall proceedings for the cosmetics detailed in Exhibit B.
5. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Command Internet Vendors to Display a Conspicuous List of Ingredients for Cosmetic Products Sold on Their Websites.
EWG has identified 41 websites currently selling cosmetics without displaying the ingredients, in violation of FDA ingredient listing requirements. See Exhibit C. Cosmetics produced or distributed for retail sale to consumers for their personal care must include an ingredient declaration. See 21 CFR 搂 701.3. The ingredient declaration must be conspicuous so that it is likely to be read at the time of purchase. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2. All label statements required by regulation must be placed on the label or labeling with such prominence and conspicuousness that they are readily noticed and understood by consumers under customary conditions of purchase. See 21 C.F.R. 搂 701.2. For all of the websites listed in Exhibit C, cosmetics are offered for sale, but a listing of ingredients is not available on the website. Thus, these websites are selling cosmetics without providing a declaration of ingredients conspicuously displayed as required by FDA regulations. Under normal conditions of Internet purchase, without an on-screen display of ingredients, a consumer would have to purchase the product without having seen the required list of ingredients. This violates FDA labeling regulations, and constitutes misbranding. A product is misbranded if it fails to include required information in such a way that is likely to be understood under customary conditions of purchase. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂 362. Thus, these websites are violating FDA regulations and appear to be selling misbranded cosmetics.
EWG requests that the Commissioner publicly instruct all cosmetic websites to display the required declaration of ingredients, subject to injunction or seizure. The FDA has the power to seek injunction or seizure, as well as the power to issue a public notice or warning to address matters that involve gross consumer deception or FD%26amp;CA violations. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂搂 336, 362, and 375, 21 C.F.R. 搂搂 701.2-701.3. The failure to provide a list of ingredients denies consumers the right to know what is in the products they are purchasing. This constitutes a violation of FDA standards as well as consumer deception. The FDA should exercise its authority to ensure that consumers have equal access to cosmetic labels both in stores and on the Internet. The regulations apply equally to all products, and Internet cosmetic vendors should be required to comply accordingly. EWG requests that FDA publicly command Internet vendors to display the required ingredient declaration on all cosmetic products, subject to further prosecution by the Commissioner in the case of continued noncompliance.
6. EWG Calls Upon the Commissioner of Food and Drugs to Conduct an Investigation of Products Containing Toxic Chemical Ingredients, Prioritized According to Prevalence and Toxicity.
EWG has identified 9 common cosmetic ingredients, which are known to pose health hazards [See Exhibit D]. Seven of these ingredients have not been studied by FDA or CIR. FDA has the authority to conduct investigations of cosmetic chemicals, and has done so in the past for prevalent ingredients, such as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. See 21 U.S.C. 搂 372, see also Alpha Hydroxy Acid Guidance, 67 FR 71577. EWG has identified ingredients which pose serious health risks, including cancer, reproductive toxicity, skin toxicity, and endocrine disruption. These toxic ingredients can be found in at least 1,950 cosmetic products. See Exhibit D. These products may be misbranded or adulterated according to FDA regulations. See 21 U.S.C.A. 搂搂 361-362.
In order to determine whether or not to take further action to remove these products from the market, EWG requests that FDA utilize its authority and investigate these 9 priority chemicals to determine their safety for use in cosmetics.

Exhibit A-E
You might turn into a fetus.... if any of it actually worked.
While you don't need anything with harsh chemicals everyone should moisturize at night after cleansing. At 15 you could just use a good all purpose moisturizer. Brands like Ponds or Dove should have some that are reasonably priced. If it's in your budget Clinique, which is sold in department stores like Macy's, makes a moisture lotion that is gentle and good for all skin types.
Anti- age creams?
At what's the best time to start using these? (age? and I'm 17 yrs old)
%26amp;
What's a good brand to use?Anti- age creams?
Actually, you will be surprised that Olay products do a great job for people at your age. Go on Olay site and you can have a live consultation with the representatives. They can make a determination about what you need.Anti- age creams?
They are all scams.
Any moisturizing helps and start now with that.
Meanwhile, an anti-aging diet and staying out of the sun is the best way to accomplish anything.
Ive just turned away from 17 years old and i wouldn't know how to live without Nivea Young tinted moisturiser. You can get it for less than a fiver. Becuase it's a tinted moisturiser, you dont need to use any foundation, therefore leaving your pores alot cleaner. It uses a perfect match system so it will suit any skin colour, im really pale and my sister is alot darker, and she uses it. There are so many perks of using it, like if you get a tan on holiday you dont have to change foundation becuase it will match yout skin tone still. And your skin will stay smooth aswell. I don't think i had this problem but if you do start to get spots something really good is the Blemish Stick from body shop which is about 5 pounds and will last you ages. Hope it helps
you don't really need to use one until you are in your mid to late 20's.
I agree that prevention is the best cure...use a moisturiser during the day which contains an SPF15. Sunscreen will limit the amount of wrinkles you get in the future. Don't purposely go out in the sun to get a tan...that will age you prematurely and you'll end up looking leathery before your time!
Drink plenty of water (tap or bottled) and eat healthy
Prevention is far easier than treatment. Now is as good as any time to start using a simple antiaging cream.
I suggest Oil of Olay as well--check out Complete and also Total Effects. Visit their website for more information.
AND:
Don't smoke.
Drink enough water, this really helps to keep your skin moist.
On sunny days, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face, neck and other areas of exposed skin before you go out-doors.
Never use a tanning salon. Half-an-hour on a sunbed does more harm than lying on the beach all day without sunscreen.
Wear sunglasses to avoid ';crow's feet'; - wrinkles that come from screwing up your eyes. Even existing crow's feet can fade after several month of consistently wearing sunglasses.
Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. These provide vitamins A,C and E - antioxidants that block harmful free radicals before they can cause skin damage.
Exercise for 20 - 30 minutes most days of the week. You've probably noticed that exercise can make your skin flush - a sure sign that oxygen in your blood are reaching the capillaries in your skin.
Anti-aging products basically have some kind of retinol. You could start off with the Neutrogena Anti-Blemish %26amp; Anti-Wrinkle cream. You don't really need them at your age, but you could if you want as a kind of preventative measure. I agree with the other poster--Olay products are great quality for drugstore products.

What's the most any of you ladies out there would pay for an anti-ageing cream that was proven to work?
Saw on the news a couple of weeks ago that Boots have a really cheap anti-ageing cream that has been selling like hot cakes. However, when interviewing a member of staff in a salon, the TV presenter was told that one of the salon's clients pays 拢1000 per week for anti-ageing products. Is this common? Also don't you think that ageing is genetic?What's the most any of you ladies out there would pay for an anti-ageing cream that was proven to work?

Anti Ageing Creams?
Will using anti ageing creams when you鈥檙e younger effect your skin in a negative way when you鈥檙e older?
I am 24, but I have very deep wrinkles (no, not laugh lines etc 鈥?WRINKLES) that really reeeeally bother me. I want to start using a cream for them but I am concerned. Please help.Anti Ageing Creams?
I think it is not quite normal to have deep wrinkles at 24. But of course it depends on many factors.
Using moisturizing creams all the time is very useful.
If the wrinkles really bother you, I think you can start using anti wrinkle products as well.
My mother and my girlfriend are using gerovital skin care products and are very pleased with them. They are using moisturizing creams, anti wrinkle creams, eye creams etc.
They are purchasing them from www.gerovitalromania.com but you can look around for others too.
And most important you should LAUGH a lot. That prevents you from getting older ;)Anti Ageing Creams?
you are supposed to use moisturizer always, but, starting at 25, you should use an anti age mosturizer, at night if possible. it depends on your skin type. for what you write in your question, it sounds like you have dry skin, so go for the products for that skin type. estee lauder has some nice treatments, like the Advanced Night Repair, which you should use before your moisturizer every night. enjoy your youth!!
No...using anti-aging creme early will not have a negative effect on your skin. Most people assume that you should begin using anti-aging products when you notice that you're beginning to see wrinkles.and thats FALSE. You shouldnt wait until you notice that you have signs of aging, you should begin using the product before you have any signs of aging in order to preserve your skin rather than try to reverse the damage and minimize the wrinkles.

go to their ready to use products, and get their antiage cream, i just ordered it.
I am 24, but I have very deep wrinkles (no, not laugh lines etc 鈥?WRINKLES) that really reeeeally bother me. I want to start using a cream for them but I am concerned. Please help.Anti Ageing Creams?
I think it is not quite normal to have deep wrinkles at 24. But of course it depends on many factors.
Using moisturizing creams all the time is very useful.
If the wrinkles really bother you, I think you can start using anti wrinkle products as well.
My mother and my girlfriend are using gerovital skin care products and are very pleased with them. They are using moisturizing creams, anti wrinkle creams, eye creams etc.
They are purchasing them from www.gerovitalromania.com but you can look around for others too.
And most important you should LAUGH a lot. That prevents you from getting older ;)Anti Ageing Creams?
you are supposed to use moisturizer always, but, starting at 25, you should use an anti age mosturizer, at night if possible. it depends on your skin type. for what you write in your question, it sounds like you have dry skin, so go for the products for that skin type. estee lauder has some nice treatments, like the Advanced Night Repair, which you should use before your moisturizer every night. enjoy your youth!!
No...using anti-aging creme early will not have a negative effect on your skin. Most people assume that you should begin using anti-aging products when you notice that you're beginning to see wrinkles.and thats FALSE. You shouldnt wait until you notice that you have signs of aging, you should begin using the product before you have any signs of aging in order to preserve your skin rather than try to reverse the damage and minimize the wrinkles.

Using anti-aging cream while young...?
I am 18 years old, and am scared that i am going to get wrinkles and lines at a young age and i want to prevent it. All my friends say that if i use anti-aging stuff right now, it won't do any good. Is that true? is it too early to use anti-aging products or will it help keep me from developing wrinkles (most people use the products AFTER they get wrinkles, my plan was to keep them from forming as long as possible instead of having to try to get rid of them)Using anti-aging cream while young...?
Very good question.....I am 23 years old and want my skin to stay young....what I have found I think is the best solution, it is natural and it works better than microdermebration and all those so called anti aging stuff i have found. It is called Sugabrasion.
After washing you face, cover with a soothing oil such as olive oil. the oil will act as a medium for the sugar.
It holds the sugar on the face, ans prevents the skin form being scraped or scratched by the granules.
Apply sugar (white or brown) to the skin, using the pads of your fingers, roll and ';sand'; the granules across the surface of your skin.
you don't need to press the sugar does the job of removing and loosening the old skin cells.
after a half minute or sothe sugar will start to dissolve and it will be time to wash away the oil, sugar, and dead cells. afterward put a good light lotion on to protect the new growing skin cells.
What happens is if you don't get rid of the old skin cells new ones stop growing. so when getting rid of the old ones new ones come in making your skin look more soft and new with no blemishes or wrinkles also it makes pores smaller. I have been doing this for a few weeks and my skin looks great people start to notice. I got this method from a book called ';No More Wrinkles'; it says do it for about 20 days then as often as you like after that. The book also has alot of other helpful stuff to make not just your face but your whole body better. Good luckUsing anti-aging cream while young...?
That鈥檚 a very good question 鈥?and one that thousands of people around the world are asking themselves every day.

I know what you mean...I was going to do this myself after seeing a few fine lines under my eyes...am only 19 myself. But I heard that although its okay to use them they are a bit harsh for us especially if you dont have anything on your face now anyway. Best thing to do is use moisturizer with spf and use an undereye cream like The Bodyshop vitamin E one. They are not anti ageing and they will still help. When you are in your 20s then use the anti ageing ones.
it's true that it won't do anything for your skin right now. stick to products that offer lots of hydration. philosophy products at your age would probably work the best. also, you don't start losing collagen in your skin until you are 22, that would probably be the time to start using antiaging products. i'm 24 and i use juice beauty products. it's all organic and works great. it also sepcializes in antiaging.
Hi there.
Please do not put all that stuff on young skin. All of the synthetic ingredients will not help young skin. On the Tyra show 2 days ago she had an expert on the show. This woman said something that I use to tell my clients. It does not matter if you put $5 creme or a $500 creme on your face....there is not a difference. These cremes only help your skin with 10% of anti aging which is not even noticeable. However, I do recommend that you find a creme that does work for you. The perfect creme will compliment your skin. There are some that exfoliate naturally, some that only hydrate (which is the purpose of putting creme on your face) and there are those that claim to be miracle cremes. Don't believe the hype on t.v. and don't spend too much money. I get accused of being 20 when I am 32. That is the difference with keeping your skin constantly hydrated v/s not caring for your skin which will make your skin look your age. I do not sell it, so I'm not trying to sell it to you but I use Avon's Anew products and they are cheap and fabulous. I have combination skin and used to have adult break out until these products.
Good luck and take care!
Hello,
I understand your concern as I used to fear getting wrinkles and the sun when I was younger. I would buy all those chemical-laden commercial anti-aging products and they broke my skin out into acne and I looked much older than what I was.
Defiantly don't fear wrinkles, but you're not completely off base with a little fear of them as it's very possible to have wrinkly skin at a young age if you don't take proper care of yourself.
3 cheap and natural ways that you can promote radiant skin and prevent wrinkles from forming in the skin.
1. Do not worry about getting wrinkles, or you will get them sooner. Be stress free and not letting it cross your mind.
2. Before going to bed, apply extra-virgin olive oil very gently under your eyes, extending on the outer-edges of your eyes. This will keep wrinkles from creeping in.
3. Splash sugarcane juice on your skin nightly. This helps prevent wrinkles.

spf 45 i wear it every day
PLEASE!
Why be so vain!
Life's progression is a simple fact. Nothing you can do to prevent it. You will end up with MORE wrinkles because you are already worried about it at 18!
Anti-aging products reduce the signs of aging by 10%. That's it.
Your best bet for beautiful skin NOW:
1. Avoid the sun or use sunblock.
2. Don't smoke, drink or use drugs.
3. Wash your face at least twice a day, and moisturize at night.
4. Leave the makeup off at least once a week.
5. Hydrate properly.
6. Eat properly.
7. Exercise.
This is really smart of you. I do skincare and make-up for a living and there are so many women that I see that wish they had started taking care of their skin before the damage happened. And, I can tell you, it starts pretty early! I do recommend using anti-aging products because it makes a BIG difference. The Mary Kay Miracle Set has everything you need and includes Foundation. It has a cleanser, moisturizer and a Day Solution with SPF 25 and a Night Solution. MK also makes a fabulous anti-aging eye cream and a GREAT microdermabrasion set. I really recommend the Micro. Products are guaranteed!
Your friends are wrong. It is sooooo much easier to prevent wrinkles than get rid of them!
Artistry has a great product called ';Time Defiance';. You can watch a video about it on their website:
www.artistry.com
Their products can be ordered at:
www.jewel.mychoices.com
All the best in whatever you decide.
This is from my dermatologist.
Use SPF
Use a gylocic product (CVS or Target have them in the pharmacy aisle)
Get a prescription retina a product.
Those are the only things that work.
Mary Kay has a skin care product line designed for teenagers. Bottom line is this...you do what you feel is right. Skin needs moisture, inside and out, and protection from the elements. You should be doing something to take care of it to help it look and feel young and healthy.
Good question, I've also always wanted to know that. But what I reckon is that our skin has enough collagen is which helps keep ur skin looking young and not wrinkly, all I can suggest is moisturize like every night.
yes, it's way too early.
you should only use anti-aging creams when you're around 25 or 26 years old.
at your age,
just use some eye creams and a moisturiser.
use sunblock whenever you're out in the sun.
