Are there any anti-wrinkle creams that work?
I am not happy with the furrows in my forehead, and would like to lessen the depth of them, but I will not do botox (since it is the toxin from botulism).

1. I once had a great skin cream.
But it's out of the budget for me right now. http://www.arbordoun.com/Products.html

It's Arbordoun's Abundantly Herbal Calendula Cream. I bought it one winter because the skin on my husband's hands was cracking. It worked so well I started using it on my face. My skin became softer, tighter, and rosier than it had been in years. It's oily, so I used it as a night cream, and I also used it as a gloss on my lips in the day.

A 1 oz sample at mothernature.com costs $2.00. I paid $4 for the same size at Sun Harvest, and they don't stock it any more.

2. No
sorry, there aren't.

Once the lines are there, they're there for good.

Some creams have light reflecting pigment in them that can make them look lesser, but nothing actually works, since wrinkles originate in the dermis. (lower layer of the skin)

Dermatologists may be able to do something (dermabrasion, etc), if you are so inclined, but nothing on the regular market will.

3. I use Ranova - it's a prescription I got from my doctor
It was made the lines on my face almost "fade" away. The only down side is you must wear a hat and sunscreen. It is pricey but well worth it.

4. Here's a site that reviews several.
http://www.wrinkle-treatment-guide.com/product-reviews.htm

As soon as I save my pennies I want to try Revitol. Some of these are so expensive I sometimes wonder if laser or microabrasion or thermage wouldn't just be cheaper.

Good luck & please report back if you find success.

5. I'm using eb5 sold at JC Penny
I use the cleanser, eye cream, and face cream. The set also came with toner, but I hesitate to use it. It seems to have helped my face a bunch. I am not positive thoughabout how much help it can do. I might have got help from other things like switching back to contacts from glasses and working with a dietician to be more nutritionally stable. I am also 28 and hadn't really had the lines for very long. I don't know if they will work for you or not.
