I think

I think that vendors who come on to sell products which are supposed to get rid of wrinkles should have to tell us that they have fillers, Botox and or plastic surgery. I saw Dr Denese today and she looked incredible and we all know it’s not from the bottles she sells.

Dr. Denese admits she has had plastic surgery

They also should quit exclaiming and wowing over "after" photos that show no difference than the "befores". We're not idiots, we can easily see the difference is imperceptible.

@Kachina624 That just drives me nuts! How do they get away with it?

I've never heard any of the beauty vendors say that their products will give you the same or any of the results seen on their faces. It is common to have 'work done' as presenters in the beauty industry.

The ad industry calls it 'the power of association' where a customer sees something they want to buy and then they relate everything they see in the photo, commercial or ad of some kind to the thing they want to buy. In this case that would be a smooth and flawless face.

As the consumer reads more and realizes the hype, the vendors try harder to influence what we know to be not possible.

It has always been up to us to disbelieve what they claim and choose what works for us.

Then there are the occasional vendors that really aren't good advertisement for their products. The few that come to mind are the Prai lady, Peter Thomas Roth, and Skip from Perlier. Oh, and Amanda, she needs to stop with the lip fillers. She would be pretty otherwise.

There are others, but by now, we should all realize that something in a jar or bottle won't turn back the clock. OR at least not perform the miracles the vendors want us to believe.

I'd like to think that we "beauty aficionados" KNOW that no beauty product is going to turn the clock back. As for myself, I use skin care products as a preventative, to keep my skin looking as healthy as possible for my age. I don't think any skincare product is going to take 10 years off of my appearance. That's just silliness. BUT I do know that my skin looks good because I take care of it and as I've said before in this forum, I've been taking very well care of my skin since I was a teenager, which has helped me maintain healthy looking skin.

When vendors say a product will remove wrinkles I just giggle sarcastically AND keep using my skincare as a preventative.

@evelyner - Dr. Denese has talked many times on air about the surgery she's had. She's never tried to hide it.

I have been using Biossance products. During one of their lives they had a customer ask about a certain skin concern and wrinkles. I was shocked they were actually truthful with the customer saying creams and serums can only do so much and gave them options of some procedures to look into. Never seen a skincare company be that honest before.
