She's not giving her cream.  The friend ASKED for a recommendation.  The real insult was the "friend" who told her she was wrinkled.


Please re-read the post.  The OP said she wants to buy a cream for wrinkles, but doesn't have much money.  What an insult to her "friend"

Agree, they are NOT beautiful. The only people who say that are those that have them.

@jezzie   Please inform your friend that sadly there is no cream on the market to take wrinkles away. Retin A and sunscreen may prevent further ones, but if her wrinkles are quite deep, she may have to accept that...not even a face lift removes wrinkles.

@SilleeMee ...ITA and we've both adressed this issue many times. Skincare is a journery with only two derm approved products: a retinol and SPF.

@Shanus - I thought a facelift did.  And how about Botox?  

 

This is why you have to start early and be vigilant with skincare to prevent a lot of and bad wrinklels.

@FranandZoe   A lift will tighten muscles under the skin and pull the skin tighter, but the wrinkles, sundamage and spots will still be there. Botox has to be done before the wrinkles form and fillers may work if wrinkles are not too deep. Upkeep is often and quite expensive....

That kind of stuff isn't unusual here, @santorini.  I have a thread entitled "Pipe Cleaners". I'm convinced that several people didn't read my OP before typing their response.
