@Desertdi ONLY after she was caught!

@Kachina624 There are a lot of idiots that believe....

I know what you mean.  Some have said that they have had fillers, etc.  I know we want to believe a certain product will really make a big difference with wrinkles, aging, etc.  Usually, they don't.

Not to be Debbie downer, but I'm finding that after a certain age (70), the visible aging is speedily outpacing my product use. To the point where I'm about to just use moisturizer w sunscreen and an occasional exfoliant. And call it good. We are all going to look old when we're old.

I think it makes sense for the makers of beauty products to look as good as they can, because when we are shopping, who would buy a beauty product from someone with terrible skin?  It does take away from their credibility.  So I'm OK as long as they don't claim they got their great skin by using solely their products.

I haven't watched any presentations in a while, but generally, I don't recall vendors making such claims, except for the Dr Perricone rep, I think her name was Dana?  I think she had cancer and I don't know if she is still around or making that claim, but she used to.  But she was fairly young.  My skin looked great when I was up to my 40s.  It was at some point after that concerns started.  I don't think I even used sunscreen before 40. My moisturizer was a jar of Nivea, which I did apply frequently, as my skin is dry.  I started taking care of my skin in my 40s.

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.

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

@San Antonio Gal Really? I saw her address the dramatic difference in her face maybe 8 yrs ago only after there was so much criticism (regarding the hypocrisy) on these boards. I've never heard her say anything since and I'm pretty sure she has had additional work done within the last couple of yrs. Of course, I don't see all her presentations.

@NYCLatinaMe  - Dana is now in her late 50's and still has great looking skin.  I saw online that she is 58.

I really don't think it is necessary for people to tell us what cosmetic procedures they have had unless they claim they got their results from their products.

I don't recall Dr Denese ever saying that she only relied on her products, and I watched her in the beginning.  She has mostly offered a limited selection of products.  I started with her pads and they were very good compared to other offerings available at the time.  I was happy then, but eventually moved to something stronger.  She was a pioneer and an educator.  In fact she has been an advocate for all kinds of things in regular media.  I am going to try her Neck & Chin Rx Tightening Roll-On Duo, even though I missed her presentations.  The written claims are very limited, but I don't mind trying interesting new products.
