The anti-aging or anti-wrinkle marketplace is a jungle of high priced creams that seemingly offer little and low priced options that achieve nothing. However, for those consumers who are frustrated with what's available in stores, there are some home remedies that are often touted as miracle solutions at a fraction of the price.
The eye area is the most delicate. The natural aging process, as well as over exposure to the sun's rays, can damage delicate skin. Puffiness around the eyes can cause stretching of the skin which result in wrinkles when there's a return to normal. Preparation H has been rumored to have been used by the model industry for years to prevent this skin damage. Even though the drug maker, Wyeth, does not recommend the product be used in this manner and cautions that Preparation H shouldn't be used near the eye or mouth area.
Despite the maker's reluctance to promote this type of use, there are many people who swear by its use to reduce puffiness around the eyes and the damage that results from such swelling. Just how it works is not rocket science, but does require a little reading to fully understand. The original formula of Preparation H dates back to the 1930's and contained a substance called Biodyne, also called LYCD (live yeast culture development) it also included shark liver oil, a substance with powerful antioxidant qualities and used to treat forms of cancer because it slows down the turn over of cells. These ingredients are no longer used, but people still say the cream works well as an anti-aging, anti-wrinkle treatment, so attention has been directed to its other ingredients such as mineral oil, petrolatum, corn oil, lanolin and thyme oil.
In previous times, olive oil was said to be a home remedy that produced wrinkle reduction and it has been found that shark liver oil can now be made synthetically from olives, rice and wheat germ, as additives in anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams. You can still buy the original formula Preparation H containing Biodyne with LYCD and shark oil from Canada, and many people do, as it is still cheaper than some treatments that claim to contain these ingredients.
Cocoa Butter products also have been touted as good skin rejuvenators, and this is found in many anti-aging cream formulas, as well as many sun exposure products. In summary, it would appear the benefits might come from the intense oil content of the products and emollient properties. There are some anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams sold on the Internet, that claim to contain LYCD's or shark liver oil, but not like the original Prep H formulation. Preparation H in its present form has a blood vessel constrictor, which is what minimizes the swelling effect. It is not recommended that it be used in the eye area over a pro-longed period of time. - 15995
