[Closed] How much BS can you cram into one advert?

I had no idea you were so interested in skin products Cougar. 🙂

I can recommend you more manly moisturiser if you'd like.

Pro-Oxylane - increases your skin's ability to absorb moisture, so it puffs up slightly, but not for long.

Hyaluronic Acid - used in cosmetic injections, does the same thing but lasts a few months. There's nothing to say it works topically, at all.

Proven effectiveness - in studies paid for by cosmetic companies.

Women considering laser treatment etc - of course, a) it's a tiny sample of women and b) they're already biased if they're considering laser treatment to start with.

As for the last two, well, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

I'm alright for boysturiser, ta.

"I can recommend you more manly moisturiser if you'd like."

Protein shake perhaps?

I hate those adverts. Once you actually breakdown what it is that they're saying it always turns out to be pseudo scientific babble that only sounds vaguely sensible for 3 seconds at a time.

Why people believe it is beyond me.

ok for cougar

That sort of bollocks has me regularly shouting at the box!
Nanoshere complex? I'll give you triple AHA fruit acids. **** OFF YOU SIMPERING ****S.

Beaten to it - hyaluronic acid has been used to help heal wounds for decades, nothing new in that. But that's via injection; getting it across the skin barrier by applying it as a cream is a completely different prospect and there's no evidence that it works via that process.

Still not convinced it's as bad as the Bifidus Digestivum bollocks spouted by Danone.

We're worth it.

Being a northern man i use, used chip fat and beef dripping.

All I know, is if it's not moisturising my legs through denim technology, then I am not interested.

There are actually topical creams that reduce wrinkles in quite a radical way. You can't buy them in Boots though, because they're only available on prescription (generally for burns victims).

From what I understand, cosmetic companies have to tow an interesting line - they can't actually put out stuff that is even remotely effective, even if the ingredients to do so exist, because it goes from being a 'cosmetic' to a 'medicine', which then requires a much higher level of testing, approval and licensing.

So it's more about how their products make people [i]feel[/i], or what they [i]think[/i], rather than what the products actually [i]do[/i]. And essentially keep releasing the same thing in different packaging...
