ITA, so that rules out possibly making a purchase.  If you can't see any difference, what would be the point of buying it?  lol

@SloopJohnB  YES, I agree with you.  Sometimes the 

"after" looks worse than the "before"...Smiley LOL

  • It's the tricky lighting they they present....the before is usually darker, and model has no hair or make up done. .im saying even the slightest....where as the after...is well lit with light, which bounces off their skin giving the illusion of a glow...then pores, and lines are harder to see...but if you look hard enough  they're still there.  Look at their brows, and hair....sometimes those are touched up too.   Annoys me, because it's dishonest.

It always looks to me like they add a little lighting to the after pick. Just enough that it looks like a soft glow but it sort of blurs away everything.

@Bonkers1   Not only do I sometimes not see a difference, but the before looks better than the after.  Lol

@hopi. I'm so old my mother had a washer with a wringer.  We had a milk man while I  was in high school.

 

No ice box though

I think pretty much any brand of cream you use regularly will soften wrinkles. Im' 82 and don't have any deep ones. Of course your genes has something to do with that and no smoking. Oh, and about wringer washers, my first one was. And I carried a pocketbook and wore dungarees. lol
